CASE DETAILS
This is a slim line case for the Beaglebone Black development board that was developed with the following goals in mind:
-Minimize volume and plastic used
-Expose all eternal ports
-Expose pin headers for development
-Code with OpenSCAD for easy modification
-Tight tolerances to secure board when moving around
-Include pin header diagram that can print on standard shipping labels
See instruction section for printing and label details
The OpenSCAD source files are attached and can be used to modify the case with options at the top of the file. The library file is a good reference for board dimensions in other projects.
UPDATES
1-23-15: Version 2 OpenSCAD files posted
Cleaned up the OpenSCAD files and posted them to the source files list. The Beaglebone dimension constants were moved to an external library file to help clean up the main code file. If you want to make your own BBB accessory you might find this useful and save yourself a bunch of work!
12-30-14: Version 2 released!
Updated based on my experience carting the case around in my backpack for three months.
Thickened the wall slightly for better rigidity
Strengthened the tabs that secure the lid for better grip and to help prevent snapping off during case abuse.
Added extra area to the bottom of the board pegs to prevent snapping off after excessive use.
Used a better library for creating the rounded corners that should make for smoother slicing
Moved all of the dimension constants from the main OpenSCAD file to a library file to help code readability.
9-22-14: Added dimensionally accurate pin header labels!
Thanks to my amazing wife for creating this. See instructions for info
