eChook nano v1.3 Case

Description

Please note printed products will often be printed to order, which may cause a small delay in dispatch.

3D Printed, hinged case for the eChook nano v1.3.

• Easy, secure mounting to car – 4x M5 bolts (not included), 95x60mm rectangular bolt pattern.
• PCB Secured to case with 2x M3x8mm bolts and captive M3 nuts.
• Bluetooth module mounting point in lid.
• Hinged lid provides quick access to Arduino USB port and Bluetooth module.
• Lid will not close if connectors aren’t fully seated, and won’t allow connectors to pull out once closed.

What’s included:

– Printed Case Base
– Printed Case Lid
– 2x M3x8mm cap head bolts
– 2x M3 nuts.

NOTE: A couple of modifications are needed to the standard eChook nano for it to fit in the case
– The wires for the bluetooth module need to be soldered directly to the PCB, leave them approximately 70mm long. (Some strain relief at the join such as hot glue is strongly recommended, otherwise the wires will be prone to breaking at the board)
– The ICSP header needs to be removed from the Arduino, either snipped off or de-soldered.

Colours/Materials

The case is printed in PET for durability. The top and bottom surfaces are textured for a less ‘3D Printed’ look. Where possible we use recycled PET filament, denoted as ‘rPET’.
As standard the base will be printed in black, with the lid in the colour chosen. If you would like a different colour combination leave a message at checkout.
The Light Blue and Black options are pictured. The red pictured is a transparent filament that is no longer in stock.

Open Source

As with all eChook offerings for Greenpower, this design is Open Source – if you would like to print your own the STL files can be downloaded here.
Printing Notes: Designed for 0.2mm layer height, good layer adhesion is required or the front latch can break.
