3D Printing

If your setup passed QC, congratulations, and welcome to the case section. There are lots of free CAD software on the internet like tinker CAD, Onshape, and SketchUp. We challenge you to design a better case! If you're not up for the challenge, no big deal, it can be a ton of work.

This tutorial uses Onshape to design the case, which is an open-source software that allows you to share designs with the public. Click the link and you will find all the files you need to 3D print the case. It takes a little trial and error to find the optimal printer settings for this print. For those curious, we used a fine layer height, 20% infill, extrusion temperature of 200°C, and a bed temperature of 55°C. The case print for both the “Start Case” and “Finish Case” take 6hrs to print. The “Lid” takes roughly 1.5 hrs, so in total, we are looking at around 15hrs of print time.
