DNA200 MazzBox

I designed this DNA200 box mod to feature a modular design, allowing individual components to be assembled and then inserted into the chassis. The reference case from Evolv proved impossible to assemble once electronics and hardware were combined. After printing, parts should fit snugly but not so tightly that excessive force is required for assembly. Each component boasts a .5mm chamfer around its bottom edges, minimizing "elephants foot" and sharp corners. Assembly is straightforward; however, I found it most efficient to follow this sequence: 1. Secure the LCD screen in place with the ribbon facing the fire button. 2. Insert buttons into their designated positions. 3. Release the ZIF socket on the DNA200. 4. Gently bend the LCD ribbon 180 degrees, positioning it out of the way of the fire button while mounting the DNA200 to the face plate. 5. Utilize a toothpick (non-conductive) to carefully insert the LCD ribbon into the ZIF socket and secure it in place. The ribbon is highly sensitive to sharp angles; exercise caution to avoid pinching or bending it too abruptly. Printed with .1mm layers using PLA, this design's total cost would likely be approximately $120. Feedback or suggestions for improvement are welcome.
