Coralboard Demo Case — Ventilated Enclosure & Desktop Stand

Overview

The Coralboard Demo Case is a practical, 3D-printable enclosure concept designed to protect a small development board and integrate it neatly into a desktop project or demonstration setup.

The design focuses on three key goals: protection, accessibility, and ease of assembly. It features a ventilated lid, cable access, mounting points, and a compact footprint.

Important: This is a universal concept enclosure. It has not been verified against the dimensions or port layout of a specific Coralboard model.

Features

  • Protective enclosure: A base and removable lid help protect the electronics during demonstrations and prototyping.

  • Ventilation: Slots in the lid allow airflow around the enclosed electronics.

  • Cable access: An opening provides a route for power and data cables.

  • Mounting points: Integrated mounting features allow the enclosure to be secured to a suitable surface.

  • Serviceability: The removable lid provides access for inspection, maintenance, and cable changes.

  • 3D-printable construction: The parts are designed to be printed separately and assembled after printing.

Assembly

  1. Print the enclosure base and lid separately.

  2. Remove support material, if any, and check the fit.

  3. Position the development board inside the enclosure.

  4. Secure the board using suitable mounting hardware or board-specific printed spacers.

  5. Route the cables through the cable opening.

  6. Attach the lid and verify that cables are not pinched and ventilation slots remain unobstructed.

  7. Check that all required board ports remain accessible.

Recommended Print Settings

  • Material: PLA for indoor demonstrations; PETG for greater heat resistance.

  • Layer height: 0.20 mm.

  • Walls: 3–4 perimeters.

  • Infill: 15–25%.

  • Supports: Use only where required by the selected orientation.

  • Orientation: Print the base with its bottom on the build plate and the lid in the orientation that gives clean ventilation slots.

These are starting settings and may need adjustment for your printer and slicer.

Additional Hardware

No magnets or electronic components are required for the basic concept.

Depending on the final board dimensions and mounting method, the assembly may require:

  • Small screws and matching nuts or threaded inserts.

  • Board-specific spacers or standoffs.

  • Optional rubber feet for improved desk grip.

Hardware dimensions must be confirmed during final fitting.

Limitations and Next Steps

The enclosure has not been physically tested with a Coralboard. Before production use, confirm the board dimensions, mounting-hole positions, port locations, cable clearances, and thermal requirements. The enclosure should not be treated as a verified fit until these checks are complete.

Design Goal

The goal is to provide a simple, modular, and serviceable enclosure concept that can be adapted to a real Coralboard, making it easier to protect, position, and integrate the board into a practical project.
