Tag: 3D Printing

I am finally starting to ship v4! The case is ready, and they’re printing as I type! I’ve also updated the product page, which can be found below, as well as the new case revision. This new case should hold up to wear and tear even better than the V3 design could, and I have increased the tolerances where I can for better fit and finish.

For the time being I have kept the price as-is, although I may need to reevaluate in the future. Note however that I have removed the no-case option. Since getting the 3D printer and adding the option, nearly 100% have chosen to get the case with purchase. Removing the option just simplifies things.

Sadly I have also had to increase checkout security due to fraud. For anyone impacted by these checks, please reach out to me via the contact form (link) and we’ll find a work around. This shouldn’t affect most, but it may throw an error if you attempt a purchase over VPN for an example.

Hello everyone!

I’m excited to announce that boards are back in stock, and I have also gotten a 3D printer up and running so I can offer cases as well! Price for case add-on is $5, at least initially, although I may increase it later depending on the effort required for upkeep.

Eventually I plan to offer the cases individually, for anyone who purchased in the past and would like to add the case now. Price is TBD, but please feel free to add yourself to the wishlist here: 3D Printed Adapter Case

Original: Case STL Files

Changelist:
Rev B: Minor tweaks for better fit were made on interior. The bluetooth module has a little more open space on both sides. This ensures no pressure is put on the module, only on the main board. This is the version I’ve been shipping for the past year or so, I just forgot to get the STLs exported and uploaded (I tend to use STEPs myself).

The case is heavily based on Yodashut’s original, which I have adjusted slightly:
1. Hole for button is more centered.
2. Additional support for board added near USB connector.
3. Bridge over BT board removed to simplify printing.
4. Solid areas (support cylinder and front blocks) have been hollowed out. No change in rigidity has been found in my testing.
5. Removed triangular ‘hooks’ on Bottom so the case would more consistently click together across numerous prints. This did not make any change to fit and finish. With these little finish bits left on, about half of my test prints would have the clips bulging out due to being unable to fully seat themselves.
6. Increased length of cutout for BT board in the bottom to avoid squishing on the connector side. Note this is length, not depth, so it isn’t any thinner.
