The file 'Laser Cut Acrylic RePhone Case' is (dxf,zip,f3z) file type, size is 1.4MB.
This is a case for the Seeed Studio RePhone. I originally designed this to mount on my e-bike so (with custom firmware) I could get GPS directions, track my bike, check battery levels, etc. Because of this it doesn't have a space for the sound board that comes in the RePhone Kit Create but instead has an additional space for a Xadow GPS v2 board.
In total this case holds:
This case is designed to be lasercut out of 3mm acrylic. I ordered mine from DirtyPCBs. (I still have a couple—you have to order at least 5—so if you want to buy one including screws & nuts for $10 + shipping email me at [email protected].) For assembly you will also need 4 M4 machine screws about 35mm in length and 4 M4 nuts (preferably nylon locking nuts).
Because the case was originally designed to mount on my bike, the bottom layer has two slots for gluing in a 3D printed mount (not uploaded because it is specific to my use case & model of bike). An alternate design for the first layer is included without the slots in the bottom for standalone use.
The design is also 3D-printable: STLs are included in printable.zip
. Even though they worked fine for me during prototyping, I wouldn't recommend actually using the 3D printed version since it wouldn't be as waterproof as the acrylic version (I sealed the display on my prototype with Sugru for biking in the rain), it wouldn't have as good tolerances, and most importantly it wouldn't look as cool :).
