Slide Pencil Case

A pencil case built like a drawer: the tray slides into a closed sleeve and clicks shut on two push-button latches, so it can ride upside down in a backpack and nothing spills. Press both buttons, slide it out. A low rib down the middle keeps pencils on one side and pens and an eraser on the other, and the name goes on the faceplate in its own color.

Letters, numbers, spaces, and basic punctuation. Long names are shortened to what fits.

Smaller, under the name. A date, a class, a few words.

Flush: set into the faceplate and filled in its own color. Engraved: cut in, subtle, no second color. AnoorAI.com is engraved small on the sleeve either way.

How it's made. Two made parts in PLA, no supports and no hardware. The tray is made flat: a 190 mm open tray with a 2.4 mm floor, 2 mm walls and an 8 mm rib, a faceplate at its front with the name inlaid 1.2 mm, and on each side a 20 mm cantilever tab carrying a ramped button. The sleeve is made standing on its closed back, a 2 mm tube with a window in each side. Sliding the tray in, the buttons' ramps press the tabs inward; at home they spring out through the windows and their square faces stop the tray — the pull lands on the sleeve wall, not on a flexing clip. The same latch as our Ammo Box.
