Nebula Capsule 3 Case

This is a rather large case I designed for the Nebula Capsule 3 to hold the projector itself, the remote, and charger (It fits the power adapter that the projector ships with, but I designed enough room to hold a 10-foot cable I found on Amazon so the bottom part will be larger than needed if you are using a shorter cable)

I designed this entire thing in OnShape which means if you want to make any changes, you can make a copy of this project with just a free OnShape account.

What you need

You will need a ¼" bolt to attach the projector to the top lid, as well as a nut for the bottom lid if you would like to be able to mount the entire case to a tripod (It is fairy shaky in all honesty, but that may depend on your printer's tolerances). You will also need some super glue to hold together the different parts, some foam for the inside of the main section will help provide padding and support the projector, and these ¼" x 1/16' magnets well help lock in the lid, but everything else is printed.

Print Parameters

I printed everything in Overture PETG on my Ender 3 V2 but PLA should work just fine if maybe a little less durable. You probably don't need these exact settings, and for some of the parts you may need to modify the settings. 

Layer Height: .28 mm

Perimeters: 3 I believe

Infill: 30% cubic subdivision

Bottom layers: 2

Top layers: 3

Supports: Tree supports for the cutouts in the bottom of the two main parts, and the dove tail grooves of the lid section

Assembly

Print the Main body and Bottom part, then two of each lid section, and three Connector posts in the orientation they are in in the files. Clean up supports, then use a bit of super glue to put Lid parts 1 and 2 together, using the posts to line it up and provide more strength. Also, put in the ¼" bolt and but for the mounting options. You will also need to use super glue and the connector posts to connect the two large sections into one. The holes are square so the shorter side of the blocks will what is connecting the two if that makes sense. I recommend putting glue on the blocks themselves, then a few drops on the two faces going together. I used three strips of foam and some hot glue to provide padding and support to the projector inside. The designed is made to accommodate this, so if you don't use foam the projector may move around some inside the main cylinder and put stress on the lid. Unfortunately I can't recommend a specific foam as it came from a friend and I don't really know what it actually is; I think he said it was something he got for his car but that's about all I know. Use a dot of super glue to put the magnets into the built-in holes. Use some trial and error to try to make sure each magnet is oriented in the same direction so you can put the lid on any of the three positions. Comment any questions on comments you have and feel free to make modifications you need using the provided STEP files, or the OnShape project mentioned earlier.
