Thought I'd f--- around and design a Pelican-style case for cold storage tools...

Dope AF. What’s your go-to Pelican? Always wanted one, or two or three…

I've don't think I've ever bought one, just kind of figuring the aesthetic out and adding my own flavor so far...

I wonder if fire-proof could be done. Seems like the waterproofing is from a simple but quality rubberized seal?

Fireproofing is probably beyond what I can do with a 3d printer. Going to try to design a seal to print with TPU -- if you look closely the groove is already there where the two halves of the shell meet.

You can always make it a pattern and use the 3d print as a prototype for other materials. I don't know if there's a high temperature resin/reinforcement system that would withstand fire and inside would get roasted anyway.

I want one!

I was hoping someone would say that, LoL.

Make that 2!

You made it! I’ve seen on the bird app

Going to take some more revisions and figuring out, but yep, printed one to get a hands on feel for it.

Fusion 360?

Indeed.

Will you share the .stl file with us? 🙃

Some version of the final design will likely be made available but am not even close to the final design yet.

One more note -- this looks like a good option that #[3]​ shared with me. Unfortunately it's a no-go for me b/c of the non-commercial use clause.
