Adafruit RGB Shield Faceplate

thingiverse

The RBG Shield from Adafruit Industries is an impressive gadget, but its compact design poses challenges during enclosure, particularly due to the proximity of buttons and varying feature heights. To tackle this issue, I'm considering adding glue-on faces for the buttons once the faceplate is assembled. This design supports both CNC Router and 3D printing, but requires precise calibration before (or after) printing because of tight fit. Even with calibration, you might need to sand the LCD window slightly, as it may not be uniform in dimensions. To achieve the best results, buttons must be cleaned up. If you have any suggestions for improving this mounting design, please share your thoughts in the comments section. I personally print at 0.3mm layer thickness, with 5% fill and two perimeter loops. The reset button can be trimmed flush with the surface to prevent accidental resets.
