Thanks for this little print. My murphpad finally feels part of the family! My Pro Micro is a USB-C and so it hangs off the end awkwardly on the Murphpad. I just cut a bigger rectangle using a box in my slicer and the result is very serviceable. I do wish the under-glow was set back on this board a little to get better dispersion. I used the tight fit version as my printer is pretty dialled in, but I do experience a little bit of bowing at the bottom and top which indicates the sides are a tiny bit short. My observation is that the tolerance is greater for width than height. It could just be my top plate was painted white because I didn't want to wait for white to come back in stock! It is probably good enough. Let's see if it annoys me enough! This is neat idea for a finishing touch. Well done

I had to cut out the the USB cutout to be bigger and I just taped the case on the back of the pad, but it works! (edited)

Huge improvement over the bare PCB! I had a lot of trouble getting this to print smooth walls around the hole on my Ender 3 Neo, so I widened the hole a bit on all sides, retightened my belts, dropped my jerk speed to 4mm/s, and dropped my print speed to around 30mm/s, with random Z seam and was eventually able to get a solid print.

I really like the simplicity of this case! Would it be possible for you to upload .step files so I could do some minor modifications?

EDIT: Never mind, it's quite easy to modify. I'll post a remix soon. (edited)
