SAMD21 Switch Payload Launcher Micro Controller Case

UPDATE: Added main body v2, and cover v2 to support new iteration with integrated USB C. This open source collaboration project teams up Electronrancher, who created a mini SAMD21 board with CR2032 backpack available at https://www.tindie.com/products/13711/. This device launches custom payloads on the Nintendo Switch console to run homebrew applications. It can also be used as a dedicated microcontroller for DIY projects. The case has two versions: one with access to the reset button via a hole in front, and an alternate version with video game aesthetics. The full enclosure is printed in three pieces. Simply slide the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) into place, friction fit, or glue the slider cap onto the power switch. Insert a CR2032 battery, then slide on the lid of your choice. The design features a small bump to prevent the two halves from accidentally sliding apart. It can be removed easily to replace the battery. The lid is designed to fit short sections of clear 1.75mm diameter filament in the two front holes. Drill the holes to 1.75mm if needed, and place the case face down flat on a work table. Insert the sections of clear filament and cut them so they are 1-2mm above the hole when the case is lying flat. Finally, use a soldering iron with a broad/flat tip set to 220C to melt the filament into the holes from the inside of the case.
