Daisy Pod Case - Professional Enclosure by Planet Zero Designs

Partially assembled case + hardware available in my ETSY Store (UK only):
https://planetzerodesignspzd.etsy.com/listing/4560482983

A clean, professional enclosure for the Electrosmith Daisy Pod, designed and printed by Planet Zero Designs (PZD). It fully protects the board while keeping every port, control, and LED accessible - the rotary encoder, both potentiometers, the two tactile buttons, the 3.5mm jack sockets, the USB-C port, and the status LEDs are all exposed through precisely fitted cutouts. A custom flower-motif knob cap finishes off the rotary encoder for a tidy, branded look.

The case is a three-piece design (base, top and cover) that bolts together with the Daisy Pod sandwiched securely inside, so there's no printing-in-place fuss and no fragile snap-fit tabs to worry about. Silicone feet on the underside keep it steady on a desk or in a rack tray, and cutouts for the LEDs are cushioned the same way. It's been tested and photographed in both white and black — print it in whatever colour matches your build.

Whether you're building a Eurorack-adjacent desktop synth, a MIDI controller, or just want to keep your Daisy Pod dev board safe and good-looking on the bench, this case gets you a durable, good-looking enclosure with a proper hardware assembly rather than glue-and-hope.

What's included:

A 3MF file for Bambu Lab Studio. Complete STL/print file set for the base and top cover, oriented and ready to slice, plus a full illustrated PDF instruction sheet covering print setup, supports, and step-by-step assembly.

3D printing settings

Print settings:

These are the settings used for the prototypes shown, printed on a Bambu Lab A1 with Matte PLA on a Cool Plate SuperTack build plate:

Nozzle: 0.4mm
Layer height: 0.2mm

May require a brim with PLA depending on the plate you are using.

For PETG HF on textured PEI plate:

• 0.4mm nozzle

• Brim on base and top.

• Plate temp - initial layer 85°C others 70°C

• Nozzle temp - initial layer 245° others 240°

• Initial layer speed 15mm/s

• initial layer infill speed 20mm/s

Orientation:
Use the "lay on face" tool and orient both the top cover and the base flat, in the same direction, before slicing.

Supports:
Enable tree (manual) supports with the "Tree Slim" style; use the support painting tool with "fill" selected to manually paint supports onto the marked (purple) overhang areas on the underside of the top and base (see the included diagrams for exactly where).

PLA or PETG both work well. Supports are only needed in the specific areas noted above, so cleanup is minimal.

What you'll need to assemble it:
1 x Daisy Pod
1 x PZD Case (this print — base + top cover)
4 x M2x6mm hex bolts
4 x M2x10mm hex bolts
8 x M2 nuts
6 x 6mm silicone dots
Super glue (a small toothpick makes a handy applicator)

Optional: a 12-pin angled female header, soldered to the Teensy, only if your board needs it.

Assembly overview:
Press the 4 M2 nuts into their slots in the base (point-first), firmly enough that they seat flush. A dab of super glue will keep them from working loose if the fit feels at all loose.
Run a thin, even bead of super glue around the rim of the cover with a toothpick, then press it onto the top piece and hold until set.
Remove the rotary encoder cap from the Daisy Pod, then bolt the Pod into the base using the M2x6mm bolts (entering from underneath) - you don't need all four if the board sits securely. Line up the 3.5mm jack sockets with the pins coming up from the base.
Lower the top onto the base, aligning the jack socket pins, and press down until flush. Insert and tighten the M2x10mm bolts from the bottom; the bolt heads recess neatly into the base.
Press the 6mm silicone dots into the four recesses on the base's underside and into the LED window recesses on top. Pop the knob onto the encoder - done!
