Kinesis Advantage 360 Cases

thingiverse

This is a travel case for the Kinesis Advantage 360. There are holes in the base to align the two halves it the desire is there to join them together. The base is quite thick, but it provides the stiffness. The lid has a rim that helps it to fit. The OpenScad has some parameters that can be used to reconfigure the model. The drop in rim can be parameterized to have both straight edges out or slightly slanted as is shown in the STL to match the container sides. With edgesteps set to 1 in Adv360CaseLid.scad the model is generated. With edgesteps set to 50 the sides go straight out. The files Adv360CaseLidStuds.scad and Adv360CaseLidStudBases.scad are optional and can be used to print spacers in the lid to hold the keyboard in place. Use only the bases if you want to use a 2.5mm (or similar) silicone rubber foot. In Cura slicer you can merge these meshes. The LidStuds file can be used to print TPU studs on the bases using Cura slicer interlocking. Images of first build added. Only the left side is shown. The right side is still the previous version, thus fits a little cramped. Lid is a little warped, but will have to do for the holiday travels. EDIT: Major update of the case. The positions of the handles and hinge ropes have been tweaked to suit the keyboard. Gussets were added on the inside of the holes to help with the strength and preventing tear out of the rope used for the hinging mechanism. The external rope guides are added to help the hinging mechanism. Merge this with the case if the model fits on your printer bed. In my case the guides don't fit in my printer, so will be glued on afterwards. There is also a simple handle that can help with carrying the case. This can be glued onto. Final pictures will still be updated.
