Switchbox v5 with room for 2mm foam inserts
Description
This is a remix of [Zippitybamba's hinged Switch case](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2702132) (version 5 at time of writing). I originally printed the design as-is, but found that 2mm craft foam (the thickness you can buy in a craft store in single sheets) was causing the case to be unable to close when I put foam on both the bottom and top. It added too much height for the case to shut. I imagine the case would work fine with 1mm foam, but I couldn't find any way to get 1mm thickness without buying way more than I needed. Instead, I modified the design to accommodate 2mm craft foam: The bottom half now has an insert that is 220x50mm and is 1.2mm deep (so that there is 0.8mm of foam protruding once you glue it in). Likewise, the top has had its raised area lowered by 1.2mm. UPDATE Nov 30 2018: I added an STL for a version of the clasps that's something like 1mm longer. I found that the originals could sometimes be very hard to set and release, so marginally extending them allows it to still latch securely but not require so much force to release. Both versions are included in the files for convenience. --- Supplies needed: 2x 20mm long M3 screws for the hinges Super glue for gluing the foam to the case 2mm craft foam (I buy it at [Michael's stores](https://www.michaels.com/foamies-9-x-12-sheet-black/D059860S.html) in the US) I recommend cutting the bottom foam a little smaller than the insert so that it fits easily, I did 218x48mm. For the top, I cut it a little larger so it had overhang over the plastic edge - 162x92mm --- I only modified the version of the model that has the top and bottom as single pieces, because that's what I was printing on my CR-10. They're about 9.75" (248mm) long, so your print bed will need to be able to accommodate that and also be well-leveled since it's going to span that length.
