Waveshare GameHat Case with Grip Pads

thingiverse

First off, thanks to Zuendy and Tguellich for their awesome designs that sparked some ideas and provided a solid foundation to build upon in terms of ergonomics, heat dissipation, and visual flair. To get started, simply download Zuendy's original design for the top face and button plates. Here are the key additions I made: 1. **Update: Bottom pads v2.1 have been added with improved ergonomics. The previous version was a bit too thin and slightly misaligned. Printed and tested - your feedback is greatly appreciated!** Bottom pads (printed in TPU, infil 15-20) were added to enhance grip and comfort. Gripping the original flat base became uncomfortable after some time due to right-angled edges. 2. I incorporated Tguellich's logo and plenty of vent holes, as the RPI 3b+ tends to get extremely hot! 3. A raised beveled surround was added, flush with the original shoulder button pads. The holes for them were also enlarged and offset outwards. In the original design, they were a bit offset inwards. 4. The side button surrounds were flattened, and the holes were enlarged big enough for buttons to be pressed easily. I prefer to keep the case design clean, especially around areas where you grip the case. 5. The bottom edges were rounded slightly. *Note: Ignore the missing center piece in the letter 'O' of the logo lettering; a little support has been added already. This was something that slipped my mind initially, but it's already printed.* I'd love for someone to re-remix this and improve upon ergonomics or other fixes. This is my first-ever upload as a newbie, so go easy on me!
