This is just a simple mock up... I am sure it will need tweaking. I designed it according to the board dimensions that @Jeremine posted in another thread ( http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/Thread?threadId=9378 )... Since I actually don't have an IoTiny to work from, I am sure (as mentioned) I will need to adjust the design a fair bit...
Io_Tiny_BetaV4_part1.stl
Io_Tiny_BetaV4_part2.stl
But, how did you manage the tapered edges/sides in TinkerCad? Or does it just look like there is one?
@Justin... I actually used the ezb4 STL shell(s) and manipulated them... I haven't figured out an easy way to filet or taper edges yet in TinkerCad... I know that option is in OnShape, however...
Here's a bit of feedback:
The length dimension needs to grow a little from ~40mm to ~45mm
The top enclosure seems to bottom out on the barrel jack, so it may need to grow in height or a cutout may need to be added.
The cutout on the camera/i2c/speaker connector side may need to go further to the edge
Anyway, I'll leave the artistic interpretation in your hands as you may like the look better that way. I was just lazy and didn't want to dig out the supports so I printed it upside down lol.

No worries if you don't have the time, I can wait to get the Tiny in order to perfect it...
Thanks

The new design fits great, awesome work!
I'll post some pics once I get a print that looks nice
I'm just messing around with resolution and orientation at the moment.
P.S. Where the mounting holes designed for servo screws? They seem to fit well.
P.S. I print the top portion upright (lettering facing up). It produces a lot of support material which needs to be removed but it prints the top of the case nicely... I am able to do this because support material produced from my UP printers removes quite easily. I do understand that some printers especially when using PLA produce support material that is next to impossible to remove...
Thanks checking this out for me...
There was a lot of support material to remove when printing it facing upward and Makerbot's supports don't come off very easily, which is too bad. That being said, I much prefer the look of the artwork with this method.
I purposed omitted one of the screws because that particular mounting hole is close to the WiFi antenna and it's best not to have metal near it as it might effect the signal. Maybe having a plastic pillar in that corner would be best.
Thanks again Richard for designing this! it makes my IoTiny very pocketable

Thanks for the design.

Thanks for the update. Mine are on the way too. Your design is really nice and fits me needs.

Did you ever make the final design with the post hole? I haven't searched anywhere else in the forum for the .stl's.
Just curious.
I am planning a new project which, using a case for protection is a good idea, and wanted the final case design.
Thanks for sharing the case .stl's
