LCR-T4 Transistor Tester Tilting Case (Multi-material Remix)

This is a simple 3D printable model of the acrylic case I originally purchased with my LCR-T4 transistor tester.

This is remixed from my original design and is intended EXCLUSIVELY for multi color/material machines.  If you're looking for a single color version of this design, the original is linked below:

This kit includes replacement parts for each of the clear acrylic parts that came with the acrylic case.

As with my GM328 printable case, this kit may be used in full, or for replacing individual acrylic parts of the original case, and requires the use of the screws, nuts, and nylon stand-offs that were included with the case.

This model has a detachable battery compartment cover, which allows for the replacement of the 9 volt battery without dismantling the entire case, and has a fold-able tilting stand for improved viewing angle.

The face of this model has two small holes beneath the power/test button for adding 4mm banana jacks which connect to 2 pins on the back side of the ZIF socket for connecting clip type test leads. Since this device performs only a single test and powers down, it doesn't matter which 2 pins the connections are soldered to, so long as they're electrically different. Use pins 1 & 2, 1 & 3, or 2 & 3.  I use this tester primarily with test probes, but I did include a "probeless" version of the face for those who prefer not to add banana jacks and are using it exclusively with the ZIF socket.

Since I purchased the acrylic case to go with my LCR-T4 when I bought it, I used its existing hardware to assemble my original case.  For those who simply have the bare LCR-T4, I've added the 10mm tall standoffs.  The LCR-T4 PCB can be mounted to the base with either the original nylon standoff's supplied with the acrylic case, or with the printable standoffs, four M3 X 18mm screws and four M3 nuts.  The case itself is held together with four M3 X 30mm screws and four M3 nuts.  Those assembling this case without the hardware included with the acrylic case will need eight M3 nuts, four M3 X 18mm screws, and four M3 X 30mm screws to make this complete.

I printed the complete case in PETG on my Creator 5 Pro, but the bulk of it could be printed in whatever rigid material you choose.  I would caution against printing the battery cover in PLA as the latching mechanism needs to flex a little when opening or closing the battery compartment.

UPDATE 09052026:  I added stand-offs for use with the four perimeter screws.  Having exposed screw threads make the meter look incomplete, and adding the standoffs also allows for better tightening of the screws without bowing the face and back of the meter.
