Re: sBitx printed case

Mornin' Glenn:

We used a similar approach for the T41. The front panel is photo paper held in place with a spray glue and then coated with clear Krylon:

You can see the top joint in the middle of the case. These two pieces are held together with small bolts and 3 molded holes on a lip of the case edge. It works well and is pretty durable.

Hi Mark

I took your design and STL files and split them into 2 top and 2 bottom pieces and printed them with PLA on my ender 3. I then glued the 2 pieces together. Not super pretty but I now have a case. Just finished it last night.
Are you OK with me uploading my files to thingverse, giving you full credit for the design of course?

Me, but of course I designed it. ;-)

the only issue that I know of is that there is a slot cut out for the potential meter board for the ribbon cable. The problem is if you use that slot, you will install your potential meter upside down with the tuning knob on top.?


the other issue is that the build volume for that case is very large and will not be printable with the popular ender 3 printers. ?
