Protective storage case for Intel Socket 478 CPUs.
The case holds a single CPU and snaps closed without screws. The top has an opening that leaves the CPU visible, so the model name and other markings can be read without opening the case.
Features
Fits Intel Socket 478 CPUs
Snap-fit closure, CPU front markings remain visible when closed
Notched lid design matches the CPU package for one-way insertion
Secure fit keeps the CPU firmly seated when closed
Optional PCB insert for protecting the CPU pins
Optional PCB Insert
An optional PCB insert can be fitted into the bottom of the case, providing individual holes for the CPU pins. The included ZIP contains manufacturing files ready to upload to services such as JLCPCB or PCBWay.
The PCB is panelized in a 2 × 2 layout under 100 × 100 mm, allowing four inserts per panel. A typical order of five panels provides 20 CPU inserts at very low cost. For example, my JLCPCB order costs $2 plus $1.20 shipping, or just $3.20 for 20 inserts. Shipping and import fees may vary by country.
After manufacturing, simply snap the four inserts apart at the small breakaway bridges and lightly sand the remaining tabs.
The PCB is intentionally a tight press-fit in the printed case. Align it carefully and press it evenly into place. Some additional force is typically needed; use a small plastic or wooden intermediary piece and gently tap it with a hammer until the PCB is fully seated.
Printing Settings
Designed in Fusion 360 and test printed on a Prusa i3 MK3S+ using PETG.
