Following on from this thread I've also designed and printed a bezel and matching box for the 7" SSD1963 display and Explore 100. Ignore the colour - just the filament I had available  Design files: 2016-10-05_175117_box7inch.zip 2016-10-05_150257_7inchbezel.zip     |

Awesome Peter..! I will see if I can get Ed to print up a set and see if I can get the 7" fitted correctly.. A stable box of the E-100.. (nice)  Edit: I see the hole in the box for the power in jack and SDcard ... Whats the other hole for..? Is there maybe a slot for the I/O interface..? |

Any cables you need to connect to the outside - it is sized to take a 6mm ID rubber grommet. In my version I have a DS18B20 and a MCP3424 ADC breakout connected internally and double-sided taped to the back of the display and a pair of type-K thermocouples connected through the hole together with the serial port for development |

My Bezel Collection.  Inspired by Peter's original bezel for the 4.3 SSD1963 screen, I ordered and built a 3D printer and learned about OpenScad which is a mathematical/programing method of defining 3D images. Its a bit of an iterative process so I have bezels ready for any new obscure LCD sizes the Chinese come up with. Even a couple that fit existing ones. These are just the ones that got to a stage where it was worth seeing if they were close! Regards Gerry Latest F4 Latest H7 FotS |

Here are the files for a 5" SSD1963, an STL 3D file and the OpenSCAD source file if anyone wants to play. 2016-10-07_094324_Customizable_Enclosure_5inchssd1963.zip Regards Gerry Latest F4 Latest H7 FotS |

Peter, Have you done a design for your MM+ 470 board that Circuit Gizmos sell? I don't have a 3D printer but do have a need for two 5" spacer/bezel/box items and two 7" spacer/bezel/boxes, both for use with your 470 board. Am happy to pay anyone who could print them up for me. Cheers, Doug. ... almost all of the Maximites, the MicromMites, the MM Extremes, the ArmMites, the PicoMite and loving it! |

Peter, This case design is nice work! Do you think it would be practical to provide rectangular cutouts in the sides so that RJ plugs (probably 8P8C) could be plugged into sockets mounted on a PCB just inside of the cutouts? I anticipate needing to house a 7 inch or larger display coupled to an E100 assembly and to a mother board which would carry the RJ jacks on one edge. What CAD software did you use to design this case? Thanks, Paul |

I use Sketchup. The design files are in the ZIP and can easily be modified to change the holes in the box. Be aware the box is 190mm wide so you need a printer capable of a true 200mm width to print it |
