Enclosure for a digital weighing scale

For the scale’s housing, it was important to me that the design remain as compact as possible, with all components kept together - whether the housing is closed or open for use. When weighing, the cover is removed and placed flat-side down on the table. The scale is then inserted into the cover and secured using the locking clips. To prevent slipping while in the open position, I printed a 0.6 mm layer of foaming flexible filament onto the cover. I also used flexible filament on the section of the fixing brackets that holds down the scale. Alternatively, the housing can also be printed entirely with PETG, for example.
