case for Goodfet 42

thingiverse

This is a straightforward project for the Goodfet device, a compact electronic board used for performing JTAG operations and hardware hacking. As a beginner in this field, my explanation may be simplistic, but I needed to create a quick case for the board. The design might not be perfect, but it serves its purpose for now. Be aware that a 12-place header connector might not fit well, but individual dupont cables should work fine on the header pins. The mini-USB port is easily accessible, and the indicator lights are visible through the top hole. The top piece can be secured to the lower part using friction or screws in the 3mm holes. I encountered some issues with the fit, likely due to inadequate cooling during printing and low resolution. However, I'll make any necessary modifications if I encounter cable fitting problems or other issues. Update: After receiving a suggestion from an alert reader, I made a modification to improve the design. Additionally, I widened the opening for the 12-pin cable header pins as it seemed too small initially. Interestingly, I didn't end up using a case with my Goodfet device, but if you're interested in creating one, feel free to give it a try. Printer Settings: Priner: Printrbot Jr and Makers Tool Works Fusematic Rafts: Yes Supports: No Resolution: .25mm Infill: 30% Notes: I didn't use a raft but printed some brim to help with adhesion. A full raft might have been beneficial for the bottom part, as it experienced minor lifting on one corner. The design likely doesn't require 30% infill, but it's small, so it probably won't make a significant difference.
