This was a case design that I did for a buddy.

He wanted to use one of those massive Extron crosspoint switches with his scart gear like this. This requires a large number of SCART to BNC adapters, normally with audio breakout and sync stripped using n LM1881

The device itself is here on github

Case looks like this

What he wanted was a case that could stand alone, but also stack with other cases to form a "tower of power"

The case itself is really simple, comes in two halves, stacking is achieved by screwing the bottom half of the case into the top of the one above. For easy disassembly I designed the case so the PCB clips into the top half.

I wanted to make these as small as possible so there are no nuts, the screw cuts its own thread
BOM for the case is
4 x 20mm M2 socket head bolt
2 x 5mm M2 flat head bolt
 
I'll put it on Thingiverse eventually. But for now the STL's are attached.

Hi

Can you share your model file? I want to modify the body to easier print with multi color. I will share the file if I modified.

You mean like the parametric CAD? From sketchup or freecad or blender or whatever?

Those are long gone I'm afraid, the STL (above) are all that remain of this project.

Good news is that it's a really simple shape, and most CAD programs now allow import and edit of STL files as a mesh
