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 ( https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/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
Oh I forgot to mention that if you could reverse the artwork to be recessed instead of protruding it would make it a little easier to print
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.
Thanks for the feedback Jeremie.... I'll see what I can do... However, I might actually need to wait to get one to really get a perfect fit for it...
Cheers
@Jeremie... If you guys have time can you test fit these? I will worry about the details later, just want to get the dimension's and layout correct... Io_Tiny_BetaV4_part1.stl Io_Tiny_BetaV4_part2.stl No worries if you don't have the time, I can wait to get the Tiny in order to perfect it...
Thanks Richard
Hey Richard,
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.
@Jeremie Ha, ha... The mounting holes were a guess-ti -mate... I copied the size of the screw lugs from the injection molded EZB4 case...
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...
So I tried printing the enclosure top facing downward and upward and here are the results:
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 @Jeremie for doing this for me... I am going to make a few more minor changes and post the final version here....
Cheers
Hi Richard. Did you ever finalize this design. I have my order for Tinys in and would like to use your case.
Thanks for the design.
