96Boards Consumer Edition HiKey case

thingiverse

This is a case made for [HiKey (620)](https://www.96boards.org/product/hikey/), but since the form factor is defined by the 96Boards Consumer Edition standard basically any of the CE boards listed [here](https://www.96boards.org/products/ce/) should fit (at least in theory). This case is a bit wider, deeper and taller compared to others seen here on Thingiverse. There are a couple of reasons for this: * I wanted to fit the [96Boards Sensors Mezzanine adapter](https://www.96boards.org/product/sensors-mezzanine/) within the case with the lid closed. * Extra room for a switch used to toggle between normal and recover mode. * A bit better airflow in the case. * I wanted to be able to get my fingers down in the case when trying to remove the sensor board. The hinges I've used are the ones found in [thing:1334035](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1334035). I have just CA glued them to my case. The holes at the bottom for stand-offs are ~2.4mm. The reason for that is that people wanting to use 2.5mm stand-off screws can do so and people who would like to 3mm stand-off screws can just make the hole slightly bigger with a drill. I've used 3mm screws which also forced me to enlarge the mounting holes on both the HiKey itself as well as the sensor board. That seems to be fine as long as you use the drill nice and carefully. The advice to make the threads is to simply use a regular metal screw to make the threads before trying to use plastic mounts etc. The other hole at the bottom is for the JTAG connector at HiKey 620. Unfortunately that is positioned at other places on the PCB on other CE devices. So, that is only good for the HiKey 620.
