Arduino VENTUNO Q Enclosure Case

Arduino VENTUNO Q Enclosure Case

This is the official Arduino VENTUNO Q Enclosure Case. The perfect way to protect the Arduino VENTUNO Q board.

Designed to keep things simple and clean while keeping everything accesible. The case is made by different parts that can be created using different materials and combinations.

You can 3D print all the parts using materials like PLA, PETG, ABS and others. The front cover and back cover can be also being created via laser cut or CNC machines to create nice transparent covers made from acrylic glass.

Printing Tips

The Arduino VENTUNO Q Enclosure Case consists of the following parts:

1. Contour

2. Front Cover (can be also done through laser cut/CNC)

3. Back Cover (can be also done through laser cut/CNC)

4. User button

5. Reset button

The .3mf print file is based on Prusa Slicer and has been tested with a print layer of 0.2 mm both in PLA and PETG. In case another slicer is used it would require setting additional supports and parameters than the ones mentioned here.

Contour Part Printing Tips

Supports are recommended on the Contour to have cleaner holes.

User Buttons Printing Tips

The User Button is designed to be printed vertically, without supports, to provide elasticity. 

It is possible to control its surface texture, by printing it horizontally and adding supports. However, support removal may damage it.

Reset Buttons Printing Tips

Reset button is more stable printed with the base facing down, but can be printed the other way round to control its surface texture.

Assembly

To assemble your case you will need the following hardware and materials:

Hardware

• Arduino VENTUNO Q

• 10x M3x6 flathead screws

Tools and Materials

• Screwdriver

• FDM 3D printer (printbed size 170x80x50 mm minimum)

• 3D printing filament

Step by Step Assembly

1. Clean the printed parts from potential printing errors and stringing.

2. Push gently the User Button in its seat, in the lower left corner of the Contour. 

   

It will bend a little, then lock in place.

1. Slide the Reset Button in its seat from the bottom.

   

   

1. Turn the Contour upside down and insert the Arduino VENTUNO Q; positioning the ports in their holes first.

1. Screw the Back face to the Contour using 5x M3x6 flathead screws.

1. Screw the Front face to the Contour, using 5x M3x6 flathead screws. 

NB: in case you lasercut Front and Back covers from dxf files, it is advised to use button head screws and add five 2mm spacers to fill the gap between the Back cover and the Arduino VENTUNO Q.
