Component Tester Case

thingiverse

UPDATE: The specific board I used is out of production, so think of this design as a concept rather than a direct print job. This case will house a component tester like one available on eBay. The design fits perfectly with that tester's button layout and screen layout. You'll need to add heat insert nuts and a small piece of foam. If you find my designs helpful, consider showing your appreciation by donating. Instructions Print this case without any scaffolding if possible, but using a brim can be a good idea if you have problems with edge adhesion. You want the surfaces to come out perfectly flat. Here's how to assemble it: 1) Print the entire case. 2) Prepare the case. a) Put a small piece of foam in where the battery goes; this will keep it secure and quiet down any rattling noise. b) Insert nuts using heat insert nuts into the top of the case. 3) Remove the screws and stand off posts to take apart the component tester. Leave two tapered head screws attached to the tester. 4) Make a cable (about 5 inches long should be perfect) that connects the screen board to the main board. 5) Carefully snap in the screen; it will fit snugly. 6) Place the main board into position. It will be held down once the case is secured. 7) Using the tapered screws, put the two halves together. 8) Don't forget the battery!
