Here’s the finished, 3D printed product!

This thing is seriously sturdy.

I had previously printed a similar version from makerworld but it wasn’t strong enough to hold my glasses, and if you drive over a speed bump - the sun glasses were dropped to the floor!

You can see how I modeled the cutout for the nose section here:

This was by far the hardest part. I attempted to “pad” the area out multiple times but was hit with the dreaded “wire not closed” error.

In the end I drew an inverse shape and used “pocket” to remove material.
