Tiny Whoop “Fleet Box 65mm”

This design was the one that began my endeavor in 3D print farming. Originally a basic design I made for personal use, some community members took a liking to this case I created to snugly hold 4 “65mm” sized micro racing drones. I was contacted by Jesse Perkins, the owner of tinywhoop.com, and we made an agreement for me to manufacture and sell them on his store.

I tweaked my original design to optimize it for 3D printing in larger quantities, considering the tolerances of the lid as well as the shape of the wall contours to ensure repeatable printing. I added Tiny Whoop’s official logo and sized it properly to capture all details. I also performed test prints to measure material use per part, as well as considered electricity usage and machine maintenance necessary to begin manufacturing.

6 colorways were chosen and filament was ordered and managed to complete the desired part count of 50 units for the first production run. I was able to complete the job in just over a week using 2 machines, printing around the clock. Upon release, the community loved the design. The original batch sold out in just a few weeks and I have since created a second batch of close to 100 units.
