    Customizable Earbud-Wrap with Fast Release 3D Print Model

    Summary
    This earbud holder features:
    Convenient flat storage when not in use
    Business card size, credit card size, and custom sizes
    Quick wrapping action
    Even quicker release feature. The last loop with the audio jack holds the other loops in place. Release it, and you can release all the other loops instantly.
    Two central holes so you can thread the cord through them to keep it handy while you are listening
    An optional notch for the slide-off side of the winding
    Customizable location of notch for windings relative to earbud holes
    Customizable width of slots for the cord
    Customizable size of earbud holes
    Customizable corner rounding. Make the corners square, even.
    If Thingiverse’s Customizer is working, this is your best bet for customizing. If not, open the file in OpenSCAD, change the preset to “Custom” and start playing with the other settings.
    Not much in presets yet. The Default matches DavidPhillipOster’s thing that I mixed from. If you find settings that work well for a recognizable pair of earbuds, let me know and I’ll add them to the presets.
    Want a feature added? Let me know.
    I tried to restrict the ranges of the settings to ones that result in valid models. If you manage to break the model using Customizer, let me know.

    These print settings were suggested by DavidPhillipOster for his thing. I went with a heavier infill when the extra features result in thinner sections.
    How I Designed This
    Remix, OpenSCAD and Customizer
    Started with Earbud-Wrap with Fast Release by DavidPhillipOster, added some features suggested by my son, and made it all Customizer friendly.
    Owe a debt to Splines for OpenSCAD by teejaydub as well.
