Easy Print Garmin inReach Messenger Case
Description
This is a remix of the excellent 1/4-20 mount TPU case design for a Garmin inReach Messenger, by sadrummer06. I've provided an STL as well as a 3MF file sliced with the settings I used for my print. The purpose of the original design is to mount an inReach Messenger on a Peak Design Capture Clip for easy access. This is accomplished by printing the case in TPU and melting-in a 1/4-20 5/16 tee nut which the Peak Design mounts can attach to. I was having issues printing it until I got my TPU settings dialed in, and found that the design by OP had some unnecessary overhangs that complicated the print and made it more difficult to get a good result without a lot of supports. I remixed it and made this easy-print design which uses less material and removes those overhangs. This was accomplished by simply slicing off the top layers with the overhangs, while leaving just enough of them so the case to function as intended and hold the device without letting it go (even when thrown). As for the attachment method, I went with a 1/4-20 5/16" pronged tee nut instead of the recommended flat tee nut, to ensure it digs into the print and will never rotate during or after installation.
