Nozzle Storage Case
Nozzles are small, look identical, and are useless once you cannot tell a 0.4 from a 0.6. A case with labelled sockets solves it permanently, and takes about an hour to print.
Fits: MK8, V6 and Volcano nozzles
Make this one yours. Cadio generates it to your measurements — change the size, slot count, or angle by describing what you need.

What actually matters
- Recess the labels rather than raising them. Raised text on a small case wears smooth from handling.
- Size sockets for the nozzle hex, not the thread. 7 mm across flats fits standard MK8 and V6.
- A friction-fit lid is enough — a hinge on a part this small usually snaps first.
Questions
Will it fit Volcano nozzles?
They are longer, so increase the socket depth. The hex is the same.
Can I print it in one piece?
The case and lid print separately, both flat, with no supports.
Need it in a different size, or with more slots?
