D-Link DGS-1005D case

I got these switches from a friend but I was unhappy with the very rounded design. I like my network stuff to be flat so I can stack them. So I made my own designs!

Notes

These are switches are two different revisions, G1 (larger) and I1 (tiny). G1 uses a barrel plug for power while the I1 uses Mini USB.

There are no labels for the LEDs but the lights shine through the plastic as I've made it so that the plastic is thinner just above the LEDs. I kinda like the clean aesthetic.

The screw holes in the bottom parts use sacrificial bridging with a single layer so that you don't need supports; just cut off the extraneous material after printing.

Hardware required

• M3 heat inserts. Mine were 4.2mm diameter, similar size should work. 4x for larger design, 2x for tiny.
• M3 screws. Any length between about 8-18mm long should work. Maximum 6.3mm screw head diameter. 4x for larger, 2x for tiny.
• (Optional) 8mm anti-slip rubber feet. 4x for both designs.
• (Optional) Spacers for M3 screws if board doesn't sit tight when case is screwed together. 4x for larger, 2x for tiny.

Print instructions

Designed to be printed with 0.4mm nozzle at 0.2mm layer height. No supports.

CaseBottom should be printed laying flat. CaseTop should be printed upside down (ie, ventilation grill on print plate).

Print in any material you want, I don't believe temps should get high enough to affect PLA.

Install instructions

1. Heat M3 heat inserts into CaseTop.
2. Place board into CaseBottom and then put CaseTop on top, make sure to align the backwall of CaseTop with the slots in CaseBottom.
3. Screw it all together.
