Low-Poly Snap-Fit Sleeve CAD -- 2

About the project

I already have a clean STL of the product—about the size of an asthma inhaler—and I need a fully parametric SolidWorks model of a protective sleeve that simply slides on and snaps shut around it. The sleeve must not grip the object directly; instead, it should latch onto itself so the device can be removed without flexing the core product. Style & geometry • Exterior: deliberate low-poly, faceted “crystal” look. Think sharp, gem-like planes rather than smooth rounds. • Interior: follows the scan within roughly 0.3-0.5 mm clearance. I’m happy to refine that gap if your experience suggests a better figure for 3D-printed prototypes and later injection-molded tooling. • Snap feature: built-in catch or tab that locks the sleeve closed; no two-piece clamshell. • No text or logos—clean surfaces only. • Draft angles, parting lines, and split options should be considered so the design can move straight into injection-mold tooling after prototype validation. Deliverables 1. Native SolidWorks files with fully editable parametric history (no imported dumb solids). 2. STEP export for quick sharing. 3. A short note explaining the snap mechanism, recommended resin, and any mold considerations. 4. Up to two quick revisions after I test-print and check the fit. Acceptance criteria: the first print snaps together cleanly, holds without wobble, and can be removed easily; the outside shows the intentional faceted aesthetic with no stray triangles or mesh artifacts. Let me know if you need the STL ahead of quoting or have suggestions on the best snap geometry for reliable enhanced grip.
