Summary

Remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4812520

Inspired by the Remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5456155

I made the following modifications to the original files:

  • Modified the base to added a USB-C connector and increased the height of the base to give myself more room to wire everything:
    Base_USB_C.stl

  • Added a hole in the base for the switch for mode selection. The switches I bought were a bit too tall:
    Base_USB_C_w_hole.stl

I used a USB Type-C Breakout Board something like:

  • Modified the Helix caps to be rounded and removed the 'Key'. I printed these with support with the open side down:
    Helix_Cap_Spherical.stl

  • Modified the nano plate holder to have slots for the headers since my Nano came with headers/pins. I also cut out some space for the various SMD chips so it sits a bit nicer:
    Nano_Plate.stl / Nano_Plate_Rotated.stl

  • Modified the lower 20mm of the Helix so that the LED strips can come out straighter without having to be bent. I had a hard time getting the stips to thread through the orginal Helix designs because of this bend. The mod for this looks pretty ugly internally,
    but it is very functional:
