Crystal Protector Trays

[Waggy]

Hi there, been working on a few projects today, and the below is one of them. I have modelled the watch crystal protector trays and printed a prototype (see below picture in white). I printed all 3 parts in white PETG just to check fit and form. My plan is to print the base in white PETG (same as the prototype) but the lid in clear PETG. The clear PETG will not be crystal clear, but should let me get a good idea of what's inside without having to open the lid. For the 'spring'  (blue mesh thing in picture below) I plan to use TPU which should give some springyness.. Once I have the real ones printed, I'll post pictured and the CAD files.

Here is the final DIAL PROTECTOR (not crystal as I incorrectly posted before), I have posted the files and instructions on printables, link Here

All 3 parts:

Spring inserted into base and lid upside down to show centering cone (need to work on my printer settings as the finish isn't very good on the underside of the lid) :

All together, notice gap between lid and base to ensure that the lid bottoms out first, ensuring that the dial is held.
