Lotus58 wireless Сase

This version of the case does not require any screws — the halves are connected using snap-fit joints.

Assembly video guides available:

Before starting the print, please carefully review the description.

Worth Noting

• Pins for nice!view  
     Standard pins included with the board are used. Hot-swap pins might be too large.
   
• Supported batteries:   
     - Encoder version – 402030 battery (4×20×30 mm)
     - nice!view version – 602035 (6×20×35 mm), however the height depends on how the soldered pins protrude. If the pins are not trimmed, only batteries with a height of 4–5 mm may fit.
   
• Rubber feet:  
  It is recommended to use 6 silicone feet (⌀10 mm) per half for better grip and stability.
   
• Battery placement:   
     - For the nice!view version – under the screen.   
     - For the Encoder version – under the board, on the encoder side.
   
• Board and battery fixation:  
  In the assembled state, the pcb with the plate may be slightly loose. You might need some foam or double-sided tape to secure the pcb/battery.

Printing Recommendations

• Adhesion: Use a bed with good adhesion. Check the first layer immediately after the print starts — this is critical for the final appearance of the keyboard.
   
• Print settings:
     
     - Outer wall width: 0.6 mm — to ensure better curved overhangs.
     
     - Other lines: 0.4 mm.
     
     - Layer height: ≤ 0.16 mm.
     
     - Wall printing order: Inner/Outer or Inner/Outer/Inner — provides a better external surface quality.
     
     - Cooling: Minimal. Strong cooling worsens the quality of curved overhangs, as the plastic doesn’t adhere well to the model. It's important to find the right balance where the plastic is hot enough to adhere to the model but not so hot that it sags.
     
     - Supports — not needed.

STL / 3MF Files

The STL files are provided in the assembled state.  
Before printing:

1. Click “Split to objects” in your slicer.  
2. Orient the parts on the plate.   

Orientation:

• The top part – should be printed face down.
• The bottom part – needs to be manually oriented, as it is at an angle in the assembled form.

I’ve also attached a .3mf file with my settings — it might be useful to you.
