How to create your own omni display case

To create your own omni display case, you will need the following materials and tools:

• A 3D printer and resin. You can use any 3D printer that can print with resin, such as Elegoo Neptune 3 Max, Elegoo Mars 2 Pro, Anycubic Photon Mono, etc. You can also use any resin that is compatible with your 3D printer, such as Elegoo ABS Like Resin, Anycubic Eco Resin, Siraya Tech Fast Resin, etc.
• The STL files for the omni display case components. You can get them from [Omni – Modular Display Case Campaign] or [3D Print your own Display Case!]. These are the official sources for the omni display case STL files, and they offer different packages and options for different budgets and preferences. You can also support the creators of omni display case by backing their Kickstarter campaign or buying their products on Etsy.
• A slicer software. You will need a software that can slice the STL files into layers and generate the instructions for your 3D printer. You can use any slicer software that works with your 3D printer, such as Chitubox, Lychee Slicer, Prusa Slicer, etc.
• A wash and cure station. You will need a device that can clean and cure the printed components, such as Elegoo Mercury X Bundle, Anycubic Wash and Cure Station, Creality UW-01, etc. You can also use some DIY methods, such as using a bucket of water and a UV lamp, but a wash and cure station will make the process easier and faster.
• Some magnets, screws, or glue. You will need some materials that can help you assemble the omni display case components, depending on your preference and design. You can use magnets, screws, or glue, or a combination of them, to connect the components and make them stable and secure.
• Some accessories and features. You will need some materials that can add some flair and functionality to your omni display case, such as LED lights, acrylic panels, decals, etc. You can also use some items that you already have, such as stickers, paint, etc., to decorate your omni display case and make it more personal and unique.

Once you have all the materials and tools ready, you can follow these steps to create your own omni display case:

1. Get the STL files for omni display case from [Omni – Modular Display Case Campaign] or [3D Print your own Display Case!]. You can choose from different packages and options, such as the basic package, the deluxe package, the sci-fi package, the fantasy package, etc. You can also mix and match different components, such as the base, the walls, the roof, the doors, etc., to create your own custom design. You can download the STL files to your computer or save them to a USB drive or a memory card.
2. Choose your preferred 3D printer and resin. You can use any 3D printer that can print with resin, and any resin that is compatible with your 3D printer. You can also choose different colors and types of resin, such as transparent, opaque, flexible, etc., to create different effects and textures for your omni display case. You can also use different settings and parameters for your 3D printer, such as layer height, exposure time, bottom layers, etc., to optimize the print quality and speed.
3. Slice the STL files using your preferred software. You will need a software that can slice the STL files into layers and generate the instructions for your 3D printer. You can use any slicer software that works with your 3D printer, such as Chitubox, Lychee Slicer, Prusa Slicer, etc. You can also use different features and options for your slicer software, such as hollowing, supports, infill, etc., to improve the print efficiency and durability.
4. Print the omni display case components. You will need to load the sliced files to your 3D printer, either by using a USB drive, a memory card, or a cable. You will also need to fill the resin tank with your chosen resin, and level the build plate. Then, you can start the print and wait for it to finish. Depending on the size and number of components, the print time may vary from a few minutes to a few hours. You can monitor the print progress and status on your 3D printer’s screen or app.
5. Clean and cure the printed components. You will need to remove the printed components from the build plate, and clean them with water or alcohol to remove any excess resin. You will also need to cure them with UV light to harden and strengthen them. You can use a wash and cure station, such as Elegoo Mercury X Bundle, Anycubic Wash and Cure Station, Creality UW-01, etc., to automate the cleaning and curing process. You can also use some DIY methods, such as using a bucket of water and a UV lamp, but a wash and cure station will make the process easier and faster.
6. Assemble the omni display case components. You will need to connect the omni display case components using magnets, screws, or glue, depending on your preference and design. You can use magnets to make the components snap together and allow for easy reconfiguration and modification. You can use screws to make the components more stable and secure, and prevent them from falling apart. You can use glue to make the components more permanent and seamless, and eliminate any gaps or cracks. You can also use a combination of them, such as using magnets for the walls and roof, and screws for the base and doors.
7. Add some accessories and features to your omni display case. You will need to add some flair and functionality to your omni display case, such as LED lights, acrylic panels, decals, etc. You can use LED lights to create different lighting effects and moods, such as warm, cool, colorful, etc. You can use acrylic panels to protect your miniatures from dust and damage, and enhance their visibility and appearance. You can use decals to add some details and decorations, such as logos, symbols, signs, etc. You can also use some items that you already have, such as stickers, paint, etc., to decorate your omni display case and make it more personal and unique.
