Hi,

I created a simple 3D-printable case for Peter's PicoMite-VGA board v1.0 using FreeCAD.

It requires:
- 1x case top
- 1x case bottom
- 2x "button sticks" (to press the two buttons on the PCB)
- 4x feet
- 4x M3 machine screws
- 4x embeddable brass nuts (M3x8x5)

The FreeCAD file as well as the .STL files for the 4 printable parts are in here:
picomiteVGA_case_v2.zip

Here are some pictures:
All parts:

Embedded nut:

"button sticks":

Finished case from one ...

... and the other side.


Cheers
Thomas

Thanks for doing this. Now I need to find the metric hardware, especially the embedded nuts. At the moment the case is taped together. Now I need cases for other projects like Mixtel90's Picomite Backpack, and Hydra40-80 with ArmiteF4, etc. My problem is I'm not very good at design and Fusion360.
