CoralBoard SL · OpenBay Case

A two-part case built around the things you actually do with a dev board: re-plug the USB-C cable, press the buttons, swap the microSD card, wire the GPIO, attach a camera, probe the underside.

Modelled directly on Coral's official reference STL: real hole positions, real connector positions and heights. No glue, no supports, 4 screws.

All images are renders of the STL files, not photos of a printed part.

Why it's different :

Points

Problem

What the case does

1

No power button. The only way to power-cycle is to pull the USB-C cable, over and over.

Zip-tie strain relief shelf: two slot rows per cable, one to strap the plug overmold, one to strap the cable.

2

The two push-buttons (reset / user) are 90° angled and buried in most cases.

A Ø3.2 access hole on each button. A bent paper clip is enough.

3

microSD socket is side-entry (card slides in from the left edge).

A gate in the left wall at the socket mouth, so you can swap cards without opening the case.

4

The Google I/O kit ships with a camera on a 22-pin ribbon.

A ribbon window in the lid above the connector.

5

All test points are on the underside, plus JTAG THT holes for pogo clips.

Open-frame base. Nothing covers the underside; screws go in from the top. Flip the case to probe.

6

The board runs warm.

Vents over the SoM/SoC area + open underside for airflow.

7

Mounting holes are not centred on this board.

Standoffs and lid pillars follow the real, asymmetric hole pattern (65 × 48 mm).

Also: GPIO window (2×10 header), window over the right-edge connector cluster, 2 keyhole wall ears.


Hardware (not 3D printed) :

  • 4 × M3 × 20 mm countersunk (flat-head) screws: self-tapping into the Ø2.6 pilot holes, or drill Ø4.0 and use M3 heat-set inserts

  • Optional: zip ties ≤ 3 mm wide

  • Optional: 2 wall screws, head ≤ 8 mm

Recommended print settings :

Material

PETG (PLA only for fit tests: the board warms up)

Layers

0.2 mm, 0.4 mm nozzle

Walls / infill

3 perimeters, 20–25 %

Supports

None. Base prints as exported; lid is already flipped (plate on the bed)

Note

The front slots bridge up to ~25 mm: use your usual bridging settings

Dimensions :
