2024/12 update:

Added a new v2024.12 with these changes:

  • Even slimmer (-1.5mm)
  • Now print perfectly without support. (old version needed support for screw holes)
  • Bigger trimpot hole
  • Lower stand-offs to better secure PCB in the case

------------------

I really liked Teo84's case, but I think the bottom base is thicker than needed since it need that space to heat set hex nuts. These case don't endure that much physical stress, so I removed it.

Change list:

  • Move bottom half's circuit board holes to fit my board's position
  • Shaved 2mm off the bottom removing space for 2 hex nuts. Board can be fixed in place just fine with metal screw biting into the plastic.
  • Enlarge holes in the top caps to fit the variable resistor easier
  • Make the nut holes in the cap larger so it fit my button-head screws.
