Inhaler Cover

Inhaler Cover

or

Should Have Checked Thingiverse First

If you have an inhaler you may find that you press the canister in your bag or pocket. This isn't good, so a cover or box would be a good idea. years ago I made a wooden cover for an inhaler. It had a swivel lid and was quite large as it held the instructions as well. Unfortunately it has broken so I had a go at a 3D printed version. This is a simple push on cover that prevents the mechanism from actuating.

I printed four test parts that were only 10mm high to check that the part would actually slide onto the inhaler (the first two wouldn't and the last was a slimming down of the outer profile). I then printed the full height version and it slides onto the inhaler nicely, with enough friction to stop it falling off.

All good then. 

Then I wondered if someone else had done something similar and, well, yes, they have. Oh well. I should have checked Thingiverse first...
