Case and desk stand for Mooltipass Mini BLE

thingiverse

I want to carry my Mooltipass everywhere I go! Yet it is not too well protected to survive in pockets and bags, mixed in with lint and keys. The bumper case is great against an accidental drop, but otherwise it covers the already sturdy aluminum parts. The button, port, and screen are all exposed. I saw a [3D printed box](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5158798) posted here but that would be too bulky to fit in my jeans pocket. I made this case which turned out to be more practical than I expected, so I'm sharing here for all to use. With the 0.8 mm walls it might look flimsy but the Mooltipass itself gives it the structural strength. This way the case stays light and small. I also made a double thick version for those who want it sturdy but bulky. Advantages: - protects the screen from damage - protects the scroll wheel from damage and dirt - prevents random button presses that would otherwise drain the battery - protects the usb port from lint and dirt - flip it around and keep it on the device when not needed; out of the way but hard to lose - use it as a stand to improve screen visibility on the table - the card can stay inserted in all 3 configurations - stays snug with friction fit, uses the existing bumper case for extra protection - almost no increase in device size (+1.6 mm), weighs only 7 grams - prints fast (1-1.5 hours) and clean because the walls are exactly two lines thick Tips: - Place the device in the gap near the closed part and slide in the remaining 15 mm. It's not necessary to start all the way at the top of the case. Parametric source available in the FreeCAD file.
