micro:bit - Closed Case

myminifactory

The BBC today unveiled the micro:bit – a pocket-sized computer that lets kids tap into technology. Made possible by a major partnership with 28 organizations, up to one million micro:bits will be given to every 11 or 12-year-old kid in year seven or equivalent across the UK for free. MyMiniFactory is one of the 28 organizations involved in the micro:bit initiative. MyMiniFactory will show how 3D printing and open-source design can be used to create objects that combine with the micro:bit to innovate new products. We'll host versions of a case for the micro:bit on our platform, allowing students to print them in class. We'll also host competitions and campaigns encouraging school kids to use CAD software and 3D printing. You can download the first versions of the cases and clips here. The micro:bit closed case was designed to be free for schools to 3D print in their classrooms. This is a fully enclosed safety case for the micro:bit computer chip that the BBC will give to schools around the UK. Download both STL files – one left-sided closed case and one right-sided closed case. With a print time under 30 minutes, schools can load multiple STLs onto a build plate and print them in batches.
