I redesigned the case for the joey joebags gen 3 mini from BennVenn. Joeys all already come with 3D printed cases but I had disassembled mine and damaged the case in the process. Rather than contact BennVenn for a new one, I decided to create one that is MUCH lower profile. Compare this case (blue) to the original (white/clear) in the images. Though do ignore the cutout for the USB in those comparison images, I had print and alignment issues that were later corrected.
Installing this case REQUIRES that you trim all of the header pins flush with the maple mini board on the joey AND desolder the two buttons on the maple mini. These buttons are unused in normal functionality so there is no harm in removing them.
The bottom casing snapped on just fine and is holding there and the top casing is held down with two small squares of 3M VHB double-sided tape. Hot glue should also work.
This case will ONLY fit the gen 3 mini, not the gen 4 (jr) or any of the "full size" gen 3 units (although, I am working on a new PCB for gen 3 joeys so that you can transplant the STM32 MCU over and use a device with a smaller footprint and USB type C and that PCB should be compatible with ALL joey gen 3 devices). I am working on a case that will fit a "full size" gen 3 unit but I need to do a test print first before I upload.
