LCR-T4 Component Tester Angled Enclosure

thingiverse

My LCR-T4 Component Tester was cumbersome without an enclosure, so I created one to make it more manageable. It's far from perfect, but it does the job for me and that's what matters. I wanted a sleek design with an angled angle, but also needed easy access to the battery when required. To achieve this, I avoided using supports or glue and opted for nylon or random computer screws instead of traditional fasteners. This design perfectly fit my requirements. I printed the front panel face down on the bed to get a smooth finish without any raft or supports necessary. However, you might need to gently tap the screw bosses for the screen and back panel with a 3mm tap, but my 3mm back panel nylon screws were slightly loose. The metal floppy drive screws I used for the tester fit tightly after tapping in a few turns to ream out a bit, but accessing the inside screw bosses is tricky so I just tapped it carefully to get the screws started. The final project I uploaded removed the holes in the bottom for the battery holder since I made a mistake and placed them in the wrong location. Instead, I used double-sided tape for future projects. Also, the final upload should have a smoother front face without the screen and screw boss profiles visible through it, but I haven't printed another copy yet. I hope this helps someone else out there who's facing similar issues with their LCR-T4 Component Tester. I bought mine from Frentaly on eBay a few years ago, and it's been serving me well since then.
