Zippo lighter anti evaporation case

My attempt at a zippo case as airtight as possible to keep from evaporation. 

I use a lighter from time to time for non smoking reasons but didn't want to deal with my zippo  having its fuel evaporate every 1-2 weeks. Ive been looking for solutions for cases and have tried a few different things. This is still a test, but I am hoping with this I keep it still easily accessible while also at least keeping things fairly bottled up.

The way you would normall store it is put the lighter inside head first, close the lid and put the the side with the lid on the surface so the area around the lid is blocked by the surface. this case should also still be relatively pocketable and keep any fluid from dripping if you face that issue.

Leatherman Coffee Sleeve

Another Leatherman addon for you to print. Just my design of a Coffee sleeve with the adaption for a leatherman wave to hold the coffee for you. This sustainable product will help reduce the wastage of typical disposable coffee sleeves while also protecting you from the hot coffee with the secure grip of your leatherman. Will fit a range of standard coffee cups, especially the Starbucks range. yeah....okay....I need to get a life.

also, this was adapted from  ThingHuxter thunderbird coffee sleeve.

Decrypto Sleeved Insert

A remix of **phaze0**'s [lightweight Decrypto insert](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4322229). 

I've widened the cutouts for the code cards to support sleeves. I also widened the cutouts for the tokens since mine were rubbing a little too much when taking them in and out. I didn't widen the cutout for the word cards since I didn't sleeve those (they don't fit in the code decks with sleeves).

The topper covers the insert and provides a place to keep pencils, the timer and whatever else you want, while also keeping the cards and tokens from moving in the box since it sits flush with the box lid. Credit to **Unserfamily**'s [remix](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4545191) for the inspiration (I would mark this as a remix of that as well, but Thingiverse is currently broken and won't let me select a second remix).

I've included the F360 and Step files of my design in case anyone wants to customize further. **Note**: I remixed phaze0's design by inserting his STL as a singular body, meaning a large part of that component is missing parametric features.

<p>UPDATE:  After being Featuerd on Hackaday (<a href="http://hackaday.com/2016/10/03/diy-nozzle-socks-for-your-3d-printer/" rel="external">http://hackaday.com/2016/10/03/diy-nozzle-socks-for-your-3d-printer/</a>) I decided to finish the tweaks i&apos;ve been wanting to do, and remove the horrid text on the first layer. Please only use &quot;Rev 2&quot; models!!! Also included is now Rhino 4 and 5 native files, as well as STEP files.</p>

<p>This  printable mold is for the original e3d Volcano block, and will not fit the new thermistor cartridge style block.</p>

<p>Print this and cast some high temperature silicone, to get your very own e3d volcano sleeve! This product is not an offical E3D product, and is the only existing version to my knowledge, at least that isn&apos;t garbage. Please excercise caution in all steps of this process, always read your msds for chemicals you aren&apos;t familiar with, and always check safe operating temp ranges for anything you install on your printer.</p>

Egyptian Hookah Ashtray Fixation Sleeve

<p>There are 8 types of combs, two for each number of cables it needs to hold: 24, 14, 8 &amp; 6.</p>

<p>The slim version keeps the cables tighter together and are an exact copy of the ones i bought via internet, but they&apos;re more fragile, I reccomend using a stronger material.</p>

<p>Hope this is useful!</p>

<p>I lost a couple height-setting spacers one day when the nut that holds them came loose and the bolt dropped out.  Rather than pay for new ones, I slapped this together.  They hold up for around 1 season of mowing (7 or 8 months) before they break down enough to require replacing.  Adding a fender washer to the top (and even bottom) would drastically improve their lifespan.</p>
