These case designs were made for the NVME to USB adapter board shown in the photos (the circuit board measures 27.1mm W X 95.8mm L). The Cases are designed so that the circuit board slides into grooves from one end, which is then closed by an EndCap. There are two designs for the enclosure - one fully enclosed and one with cooling slots. Each Case also has a thin wall over the location of the LED on the board, so the LED is easily visible when lit.
Also included is an optional Cover for the USB connector.
There are also two EndCap designs - a simple EndCap, and an EndCap with a holder for the Cover.
Assembly of the case is simple : Slide the circuit board into the grooves on the open end of the Case. Note that the Case has a top and bottom; be sure to position the circuit board so that drive is on top (it will only fit one way).
The EndCap is a snap fit into the end of the case (note it also has a top and bottom to match the case profile). Note that the EndCap has a small cut-out - this is provided so that the EndCap can be removed by inserting a small screwdriver blade and twisting to pop open the EndCap.
The Cover for the USB connector simply fits onto the connector; it can be placed onto the EndCap holder when removed from the connector.
Print in PETG using the 3mf files provided, otherwise :
EndCap1 is printed top down; no supports required.
EndCap2 is printed top down with Organic supports (I used paint on supports - Smart Fill, On Overhangs Only).
The Cover is printed top down; no supports required.
Note that the Case parts are designed to print at a 45 degree angle using built in supports. Allows the parts to cool completely after printing, and the supports should break off with a bit of back and forth bending. A little bit of clean up with a razor knife may be required. I have also included files for the Case parts without the supports, for those who would like to try alternate printing methods.
