Case for 8x8 LED Matrix

thingiverse

This is a case for printing the LED matrix and MAX7219. Cable connectors protrude from the top and bottom of the board, as seen in this link https://www.amazon.co.uk/Seamless-Cascadable-Arduino-matrix-Max7219/dp/B00GKEMQUM. To get started, print the required parts. The sides are for adjacent modules and one must be mirrored, with a gap for cable entry. Joiners and joiner_ext clips allow them to snap together for expansion, adding more rigidity through holes if needed. The all.stl file is illustrative only. The base/dual base mounting plate accommodates 1 or 2 LED matrix boards respectively. Due to its asymmetry, there's a specific way to fit this so the top and bottom lids fit correctly. The bottom cover fits the lower end, accounting for the MAX7219's size. The top cover completes the assembly. Top and Bottom parts can be scaled to minimize joins and enhance rigidity. For instance, my 6-module setup combines three dual bases and two tops/bottoms, which were scaled by 300% along the length. The side/side with hole parts are for the far left/right edges. Joiner is a 3mm washer compensating for extra height on the sides, while joiner_ext provides a clip for added rigidity when joining modules together.
