Folks,

I have been working on getting my latest scope clock packaging idea into
Inventor, so that I can see if it's going to work.

It looks like something Olivetti might have made in 1969.

The plastic cover is all 1/8" laser cut acrylic with living hinges at
the radiused edges. It's hard to model those, so I will make a prototype
or two to see if the idea works. The base is 1/4" thick and has nearly
all the screws in it. Thus, it's much more sleek than the previous
version seen here...

The cup at the rear hides a steel clamp (not shown) around the tube
base, in addition to the socket.

Ah! IMO this one has a much better appeal :)
Nice piece of design!

David, don't living hinges turn white in clear material as soon as you stress them? Even in most opaque materials.
Not sure it will be the effect you want.
