Case for LCR-T3 component tester

thingiverse

This is a case for the LCR-T3 variant of Markus Frejek's and Karl-Heinz Kübbeler's fantastic universal transistor and component tester project, fully described here: http://mikrocontroller.net/articles/AVR_Transistortester. The case fits the graphical display LCR-T3 version sold on Ebay and elsewhere, featuring a battery compartment and access to the surface mount test area with a pinout for the 14-pin ZIF test socket printed right on it. Keep in mind that multiple variants of this tester are out there; only this case is designed for the LCR-T3. You've got two options here: one with a lid for the battery compartment and another without, but we strongly recommend choosing the latter. Now, to assemble the top and bottom sections, you'll need four M3x15 countersunk screws, plus a short M3 screw if you decide on the version with the lid. Now, pay close attention here: this case uses the T3 PCB, which might look similar to the T4 PCB at first glance, but trust us, they're not identical. The T3 and T4 cases are two separate entities, so be sure to double-check those PCB pictures before you start printing to ensure you've got the right one. For instance, if you're looking for a case that's specifically designed for the T4, take a gander here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:797733 - and there's another variant out there with an alphanumeric display that deserves a mention here too: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:641003
