lattepanda casing

thingiverse

At first: I didn't print it out yet because I'm waiting for my 3D-printer for almost 2 weeks now. So I really don't know if this prints well or not. I'd be very happy if you try it out or just comment this for the 8 hours of work I put into this. (This is my very first selfmade design. Before, I only sketched 3D-designs for education and these where just some simple things like pyramids with holes in it or something). So now to the Instructions: The buttontips are meant to be printed twice. One for reset and the other one for the powerbutton. The small part that looks like a lightning is just a little piece of decoration that will be made out of transparent, flexible filament to fit into the same shaped whole in the front of the casing. This has to be glued into and illuminated by two smd-led's in the inside, which fit into the 2 small holes. To complete the whole thing you'll have to create two 106mm x 121mm x 2mm plates out of whatever you want (I use acrylic glass). Then you only have to fix the lattepanda and the sideplates with some screws and nuts and add a 35mm x 35mm fan (if you want). There should be enough space for the lattepanda with its cpu-fan and/or some passive coolers. I hope it worked fine for you and have fun with it! I released the v.2 of the lattepanda case! It is basicly the same case, but it's split into 7 pieces. After you've printed them, you can easily stick them together and prepare them with acetone. It is way much easier to print and fullend then the one before.
