Sipeed Maixduino - Prototype Case

5 Oct 2019

I needed to create a 3D printed case for my Maixduino kit to make it easier to handle.  I came up with a quick prototype that I'll need to tweak but it lets me get started with testing.

The small cutout at the bottom of the case is for the external speaker connector.  I haven't provided the opening yet for the MEMS microphone which is located about halfway between the camera and the speaker connector.  It will be interesting to see how well the microphone will work embedded within a case.  And I'll need to print a cover for the exposed section.  I left it open for now to allow easy access to the Reset and Boot push buttons.  I'll also probably want to add some function buttons in the blank area to the right of the LCD.

    Ralph, Nice looking case. I tend to make a lot of my 3D prints into iterative efforts, first getting a good fit, then fixing things and adding features. Keep up the good work! Gene

    Hi Frank, Almost hate to admit it but I was in a hurry so everything currently is a friction fit which works if I don't drop it. I'm still using OpenScad, so not as sophisticated as what you do in Fusion…

    Hi Ralph,

     

    Looks nice!  Are you designing it with snap in tabs?
