KIM Uno Case

thingiverse

This is a perfect opportunity to show off my skills with the KIM Uno, a sleek and modern clone of the original Kim-1 design. My build process is still ongoing, but I'm eager to share some tips I've learned along the way. The only minor issue I've encountered so far has been a small lip on the lid breaking off, which I believe might be due to printer calibration issues. Luckily, this project was created using free Autodesk Fusion 360 software, and the design files are now available for download here. Now, let's take a look at the print settings used: Printer: Printrbot Printer Model: Simple Black Additional details include: Rafts: No support required Supports: No extra structures needed Resolution: High precision at .2mm Infill density: 25% is optimal for KIM Uno cases Notes from my printing experience: So far, I've had excellent results with PLA material. Now that you have your printed case, it's time to get creative. Before assembly, use a drill bit to enlarge the screw holes slightly, ensuring they are not too big for standard 3mm screws. When installing the KIM Uno board, secure the battery in place using a velcro strap or zipties to keep it safely contained. For added soundproofing and comfort during use, fill any empty spaces with soft packing materials like foam peanuts. Remember to route the 9V battery wires around the support bracket for clear visibility of your board under the LED display panel. And most importantly, before tightening the case screws, make sure your KIM Uno is firmly pressed against it to secure a snug fit and long-lasting stability.
