Trimui Brick GripCase (OBSOLETE - see V2 design)

This model is obsolete, here is a link to the V2 model that adds quality-of-life improvements and addresses a big flaw with the latches.  Ignore this model and print the V2 design model instead!

----------

A protective travel case for the TrimUI Brick that also functions as a wider grip for better comfort while playing.  While I made this design by myself from scratch, I took inspiration from the gripcases that @JoshuaC created for the Miyoo Mini v4 and the Miyoo Mini Plus, which are excellent designs and great quality-of-life improvements for those devices.  I highly recommend you check out those designs, and the rest of JoshaC's work

I tried to pack as much usefulness into my design as I could - there is an opening so you can charge the TrimUI Brick without removing it from the travel case, there are two posts that fit into the screw holes on the back to help with aligning the Brick into grip mode, and I designed it so you can attach a lanyard to one of the corners (if you got one with your Brick or have a spare lanyard).  For a little extra protection of the L1 and L2 buttons, you can also print the optional_cover for when in case mode, but it's not necessary.

I added some cool designs to the outside just to make it a little prettier.  If you have a multi-color printer, you can download the _designsmulticolor files.  If you don't have a multi-color printer but still want the outside designs, use the _designs files.  And if you just want bare surfaces, then print trimuibrick_gripcase_top and trimuibrick_gripcase_bottom.  You can also mix and match!  Really, you can.  It's not illegal.  In either way, print a top and bottom piece, then insert a length of filament (1.75mm diameter) into the hinges to join them together.  I made the hinge hole on the loose side, and used a dab of hot glue on each end to hold the filament piece in place.

My design makes use of the foam cover that the TrimUI Brick comes packaged with, if you don't have this foam piece, my design will not be good for you, your Brick will NOT fit well in either case mode or grip mode!

If you're in that situation, or you're not in love with my design, I came across two $20 gripcases that I thought were very cool:

• This gripcase by DilDesigns3D is more ergonomically shaped, uses magnets to stay closed, and lets you charge the TrimUI Brick while using it as a grip.

• This gripcase by SUMMERROCKS also lets you charge while in grip mode, and has a pretty ingenious way of incorporating a detachable cover.

I already had a Miyoo Mini and Miyoo Mini Plus, then my friends got me a TrimUI Brick for my birthday.  I love my friends, but guys come on now, what am I gonna do with all of these.
