M5CAM case

thingiverse

A versatile enclosure case designed specifically for the M5CAM, which can accommodate either an 18650 or 18500 cell, with the latter illustrated here. Six short M2.5 bolts securely connect the rear to the front section. This project remains a work in progress, with plans to add a base component and potentially a front section that will hold a microscope slide, effectively sealing the lens for rain protection. Heat may become an issue, prompting the need to incorporate vents; however, the button operates smoothly, while the USB and Grove connectors remain fully exposed. Square holes are strategically positioned to facilitate the passage of cables soldered to the battery connections, large enough to accommodate Dupont pins. A small 1mm hole on the front section provides access to the PCB LED. Due to a lack of a 2.5mm tap, the top of this hole was slightly tapered using a small Phillips head screwdriver, allowing two 2.5 bolts to be screwed in with relative ease. The design includes holes designed for 3mm bolts on the side, which have yet to be utilized; these will be employed when building a rear cover and tilt base for those sections. A designspark mechanical model file (.rsdoc) is available for all three parts, along with a screenshot displaying the contents of this file.
