Colour Maximite 2 CMM2 case

thingiverse

This is a box for the single-board Colour Maximite 2 computer project. I received my board from Circuit Gizmos last week (missing the switch, which is why my switch is different that what they show in the websites). This is a case to use the front and rear panel STLs provided by the Colour Maximite 2 (CMM2) team in their Construction Pack zip file (get it from the bottom of Geoff's Maximite page https://geoffg.net/maximite.html ). Unfortunately, the suppliers for the project box those panels are to fit in were both out of stock at the time, so I decided to just make a printable version (faster than waiting for shipping anyway). I generated a base box with the customizer from the "Customizable Project Box with parts layout by kijja" (see "remixed From"), but had to bring it into Tinkercad to cutout the screw-holders on the sides, since they are in the way of the CMM2 board, so I wound up just adding in the rest of the details in Tinkercad while I was there. The case has internal risers with 3mm screw-holes for mounting the single-board variant of the CMM2 (my board says revision 1.5) at the proper level to make the components line-up with the cutouts in the front/rear panels from the Construction Pack -- it works without putting in the screws in to hold the board down, but makes it feel more secure to use them I recommend using flush-mount/countersink screws (anything from 5mm to 10mm long should work fine), since their taper will hold the board down, without risk of the head rubbing on the traces that are near one of the rear screws by the 40-pin connector when tightening). The top is attached with 4 3mm x 8mm or 3mm x 10mm screws. I used pan-head, but can use whatever you have handy. When the top is screwed down tight, it clamps the front/back panels in place and keeps things from moving around much.
