3D-printed compact case
|
|
=======================
|
|
|
|
If you just want to make small adjustments and generate
|
|
your own version, install openscad, and open a scad file
|
|
and press F6 to generate. Export->stl to get printable model.
|
|
|
|
Make sure you install the development snapshot, since the
|
|
last official release is hopelessly out of date...
|
|
You need to tweak some settings to be able to build
|
|
the model efficiently:
|
|
- Go to preferences->advanced and
|
|
increase "turn off rendering at" to 3 million.
|
|
- Go to preferences->features and check "manifold"
|
|
- In OpenSCAD version 2024.11.01, "manifold" is under: Advanced -> 3D Rendering -> Backend

|
|
(this will enable multi-thread rendering and speed things
|
|
up dramatically!)
|
|
|
|
For the slicer, I did not do much experimenting...
|
|
Maybe somebody into 3D printing could help me out with
|
|
the silicone bumper recesses: removing the supports in
|
|
these holes is a pain...
|
|
|
|
I used 100% infill, since its not that much difference
|
|
in time/weight, and I hope that it contributes to a more
|
|
compact and better sounding case...

Recipe for re-making this
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
1. Export board outline from kicad
|
|
2. Open in inkscape, select all and combine
|
|
3. For every point: mark(there will be 2) and select "join points": shft+L(shft L
|
|
4. Import in openscad
|
|
5. Export holes from kicad as svg
|
|
6. Create cutouts, and measure position from kicad
|
|
7. Import holes, just to check that positions match
|
|
8. Comment out holes, generate with F6 and export as stl
|
|
9. Import stl files in any slicer to print them
