Well I managed to get the 5 copies printed off and quickly had the first one put together but as with all great designs you quickly fint the one thing you managed to overlook. When I measured out the shapes in illustrator I had complete faith in my mental maths abilities but it seems that it was not to be so flawless. Once completed, with the disk inside, the container would only close to within 5 mm of sealing. This was because of a miscalculation of the centerpoint of the arc on one of the sides.
This essentially meant I had 5 unusable cases but by applying a little bit of problem solving skills I realised i could just shorten the offending piece by 5mm on its outside edge allowing the package to close properly.
Crisis adverted the thoughts turned to what design would make up the outside of the case
Laser Cutter
