Cave CV1000 3D printed cases

Printing cases for DSMBL and SDOJ at the moment.
Labels for them would be great if you want to share them😁
I will try to create some in Cricut later as well.
 
My friend also shared some hologram printing thing. I think it's a plate that you print on. He's doing awesome work with his printer, maybe this as a label

Just printed a few of the cases for a friend. Really nice design! Also made some labels. If anybody is interested, I can upload them somehwere. They are quite basic though. Made a set in white and black.

Looking good - please upload them if you can
 
@kasaski
any reason why you closed all screw holes?

its nearly impossible for me to break the added layers trying to clear the way for the screws.

Its for support-less printing which results in a nicer print (imo). it should only print a thin singular layer when printing at 0.15 layer height as instructed in the description of the model page. Should be easy to cut through with a sharp razor blade.

If it’s giving you trouble or you want to print at a lower layer height, i can upload another variant without the thin wall over the screw holes.

I printed the model cut in half at 0.2 on a A1 mini.

I think I found my problem - the slicer adds wall structures over the holes after cutting the model:

on your original file those structures arent present:

no clue on how I can fix this in the software :(
If you can easily upload your other variant, I could try slicing the model with it and see if the structures get added as well.

[edit]
I found out what adds the structures over the holes:
Bambu Studio suggests to repair "non-manifold edges" in the model. Doing this causes the closed holes.
I will try to print without repairing the model error.

Try drilling the first set to see if that can open it up, that way they are still usable. And if it cracks, so what, you can't use them anyway!
 
Is PLA ok for this print? Won't reach the temperatures that are issues here?

Also, what about static charges from this kind of plastic around the pcb?

This is something I've briefly been looking into bc I'm making a lot of cases for my PCB also.

What I've gathered is that standard PLA/PETG is not considered ESD safe. There are ESD safe versions of the materials though. I plan on buying some to try out.

I'm finding conflicting answers on this, some say like you do, and others state the opposite. A bit expensive games to not know for sure on :D

Edit: Ok so PLA in itself is a non conductive material, and to be ESD safe it would need to be conductive. Either with addatives or conductive spray coating to my understanding from the few searches I've made.

Oh crap, I didn't even consider static. Hmm, can someone test out by walking on a carpet on a dry day and see what happens?
 
Nobody thinks the fact that people have now for over a decade printed cases for raspberrys and co. is proof that PLA isn't an issue for electronics? People take a deep breath, there is no gain from moving into Hifi Voodoo Doctor territory where nothing good is good enough anymore
