GaggiaBoard V3 Housing (Protective)

prusaprinters

This housing holds the GaggiaBoard V3 (PCBv3, PCBv3.1) from the Gaggiuino project, with maximum coverage to protect from a potential water leak. Design intent is for the board/housing to go in the corner vertically behind the funnel in a Gaggia Classic | Pro, but it will also fit in other espresso machines.   The base can be adhered to the housing with high-temp double-sided tape or a magnet and the top removed for connecting/disconnecting wires. Optional Parts:1 20x10x3 Magnet (other sizes can work as well) + super glue or epoxyHigh-temp double-sided tape (VHB 4611/5952/4910, Gorilla Tape, Alien Tape are options)Print recommendations:Print orientation per files (vertical), PETG, no supports, 0.4 nozzle, 0.2 mm layers, 2+ wall lines, 20% Gyroid fill. You can use 0.3 mm layers with this model, but I'd still recommend 0.2 mm for cleaner snap fit and better strength. Quick Note:This design is ready to jump off of a 3D printer and into your espresso machine (with a bit of help from you). If this is your first exposure to Printables I'd like to encourage you to make an account, like & download the Gaggiuino models to increase the project's visibility, and check out the great Printables community! Updates:2023-08-29 - Revised rail dimensions slightly due to variation in PCB size between batches. Made cover grip slightly looser so it gets removed while the base stays on the PCB. This should result in an easier insertion/removal of the PCB while still retaining it well.
