Adafruit IMU case

thingiverse

This is a sturdy housing designed for your new nine degree-of-freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU) from Adafruit. I employed the IMU found here: https://www.adafruit.com/products/1714, but others should work just as well. If you're unsure what an IMU does, visit my site which explains many common sensors in detail at http://secondrobotics.com/its-all-about-the-sensors/. I printed this on a Formlabs Form 1+, so you'll need to use an SLA to print the fine details of the letters and IMU key diagram. Enjoy! Post-Printing Expose it to direct sunlight for several hours to cure the UV. If you want it crystal clear, sand it down to a very fine grit using sandpaper and apply Novus plastic polish or cork. Solder four wires to these pins: GND, VIN, SCL, SDA. Feed them through the wire hole and carefully align the IMU with the plastic pegs on the bottom case. Seal the wire hole with hot glue or resin/UV light. Use 3mm hex head screws to secure it all together.
