XBIB XBee Interface Board Case

thingiverse

This is a case for the XBee Interface Board (XBIB). It should work with the latest version that features two sets of LEDs, a barrel connector for power, and a USB Type B port on one side (XBIB-U-DEV, XBIB-U-SS). There are five total standoffs beneath the board supporting it with three of them having pegs that will slide into the mounting holes in the board. Friction alone does an excellent job of keeping it firmly in place. No top is included as part of the case and the bottom is open to speed up printing and reduce material usage. I've attached the SCAD file for you to customize it with OpenSCAD, and I've parameterized some things like wall thickness and standoff heights. The walls of the attached STL are 1.6 mm so if you have a 0.4mm nozzle, you will probably want to print with four layers for the best outcome. As is, it will likely only work if your XBee has a chip, whip or U.FL antenna. XBees with an RPSMA will probably collide with the case. I don't have any surface mount XBees handy so I wasn't able to check if they overhang (if they do they won't fit the case). Print Settings: Printer: Wanhao Duplicator i3 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 20% Notes: I printed with both PLA and PETG without supports. Depending on how well your printer is at bridging, you might have some problems bridging the cutouts for the power jack and USB port without some sagging (mine handled PLA perfectly, PETG needing some light sanding). The attached STL has 1.6mm walls so I went with 0.8mm since I have a 0.4mm nozzle and wanted to avoid infill on them. With the above settings, the rigidity and strength of the PLA versions were pretty nice. The PETG version was stronger but I didn't like the feel quite as much.
