A Case That Sticks With You Designed specifically for Adafruit's Feather series, this case is designed to stick with you every step of the way. Whether you're developing, testing, or deploying your project, this case has got you covered. Flexible Enough For Every Stage From development to deployment, this case adapts to your needs. Its flexibility makes it easy to use and reuse throughout the entire process. Key Features An optional compartment for a 350mAh LiPoly battery with a zip-tie strain relief slot allows for secure storage and protection of your power source. A rare earth badge magnet slot enables you to attach your project to any metal surface, providing a secure and stable connection. Support for Adafruit's stackable Feather wings makes it easy to add additional functionality to your project without compromising on space or aesthetics. Cable management and routing slots keep your cables organized and out of the way, reducing clutter and making it easier to work with your project. Upside Down Board Support For projects that require an inverted board layout, this case has got you covered. The battery version of the case supports upside down board placement, ensuring that your project remains secure and stable. Materials Required Adafruit Feather + Screws 1 x Adafruit Feather (ESP8266, Bluefruit, ESP32, Adalogger 32u4 used during prototyping/building) 2 x M2.5 x 6mm socket head cap screws (source: Trimcraft Aviation RC) Battery (optional) 1 x Lithium Ion Polymer Battery - 3.7v 350mAh 552035 - PKCell 552035, Adafruit. Note that there are shipping restrictions on lithium polymer batteries, so it's recommended to use a local source with the same model/dimensions. Magnet 1 x Badge Magnet - Amazon 10-pack -- the one sold by Adafruit is also tested. Printing Print these parts: 1 x Case (choose between the battery and non-battery version) 1 x Cover (choose between the JST access and more enclosed version) 1 x Magnet retainer 1 x Reset button 2 x M2.5 plastic spacers Assembly Battery Place the battery in first, then route the battery wiring through the front of the case and loop it up the side to the Feather's JST header. If desired, add a small zip tie on the front of the case for strain relief. Badge Magnet and Retainer Insert the badge magnet into the case with the warning symbols facing up. For magnets with a metal-only plate: insert the magnet retainer with the 1st printed layer facing upward. For magnets with a plastic backing: flip the magnet retainer over so that the last printed layer faces upwards. Press the retainer through the clips. The retainer should click in and press against the magnet. Feather PCB Add the Feather PCB into the case, ensuring the board seats into the case's rear notches fully. Carefully press the board down in front. Attach a printed spacer to a screw by screwing it on. Finally, attach the screw to the Feather PCB. The LEDs will be in close proximity to the screw heads, but should not interfere. Reset Button Attach the button to the lid. It requires a bit of force, so the best way may be to either shave off a bit of filament on the button with a file or press it in by tapping the cover onto the button.
