While waiting for the official training package to arrive, I decided to make a couple of MiniZed enclosures using the 3D printer.
I purchased another MiniZed board so I could have one at home, and one at work
Manuel Alejandro Iglesias Abbatemarco designed an enclosure, and I tried to print his design, although the cutouts for fasteners and cooling holes turned out to be a problem.
His files can be found on Hackster here: https://www.hackster.io/mhanuel/minized-linux-tutorial-part-i-e2fa9d
So after a few tries at printing his part, I designed my own "ZedBox" with posts instead of holes for fasteners.
The top plate has a 1mm grove around the perimeter to lock it onto the bottom, and the size is designed to have the GPIO pins flush with the top surface.
I left the clear rubber bumpers on the board as spacers.
This ZedBox was printed using translucent PLA material so the LEDs can still be seen with the top installed.
Here are the .STL files if you'd like to print your own.
