See cases like this? Say I have the plastic shell that comes with a product (you know part of the packaging), how can i make a form fitting case like this? Finding information on it is actually a bit tricky.

or actually even with the object, im thinking if i wrap it in heat shrink plastic then coat that with expanding foam that might be step one of the project.

PVC pipe and a heat gun

Cut up the shell, douse it in glue, slap a sheet of fabric on it and sew on a zipper?

There’s instapak foam which expands around the product. But construction pu foam would work too probably. Then cover that with textile or whatever.



You could also imprint product into polymer clay, make a silicon mold, then either use polyester/glass fiber mats for a hardshell kind of cashing, or alternatively pour epoxy into it. I believe there’s even casting PMMA these days

acquire tube of clear silicone caulk. spread some on the outside of the clamshell packaging. 3mm or 1/8" thick layer, coin size or so. leave it cure for a day. peel it off. if it doesn't come away cleanly, figure out a way to solve that before proceeding. coat the inside of each half of the clamshell packaging with caulk, same thickness as before. leave it cure for a day or two.



acquire tube of clear 2-part epoxy. spread a coat on over the silicone layer. same thickness. plop a marble into each half. leave it cure for a day or two.



acquire yard of fosshape. grasp marble and work your mold or casting or whatever tf it's called at this stage out of the plastic clamshell. grasp other marble and repeat. if the layers aren't adhered and the silicone pulls away easy from the epoxy, work out a solution. arrange the two halves. apply fosshape.



acquire zipper. sew zipper. trim away any excess material and tidy it up.

that seems like way too many steps
