CD Holder

git repository

Uses OpenSCAD

I needed a CD holder because I recently started burning CDs for a friend. Now, I could just spend $6 for a 100 pack of cd sleaves... but that's boring. So instead, I made a model to help fold them out of standard letter sized paper.

cube([125, 125, 1]);
translate([(125 - 215.9)/2, -10, 0])
    cube([215.9, 10, 2]);

That's the full code, it's pretty simple. To use it, the paper gets placed against the thicker part, centered on the thin end. Then the sides of the paper are folded up along the sides of the small part, and the top is folded down. Finally, the sides are taped to each other inside of the folded sleave and the remaining bit is used as a opening flap.

It's not the easiest to fold but it was only for a quick sleave without paying for a pack of 100.
