Synaptics Coralboard SL Case & Desk Stand

I call this the KIVO Case, for the Coral Board. This is a compact, retro-inspired enclosure and removable desktop stand for the Synaptics Coralboard SL. It protects the board during desktop prototyping and positions it upright for convenient access to cables and controls.

⚡ FEATURES

• Compact enclosure with front and rear ventilation.
• Access to USB-C, USB-A, microSD and the board controls.
• Removable angled stand for desktop use.
• Separate grille and stand for contrasting colours without multi-material printing.
• “Synaptics Coralboard SL” lettering on the front.

HARDWARE SUGGESTIONS

2. 2 × M2 × 5 mm pan- or button-head machine screws for the flush grille or use glue

3. Optional adhesive rubber feet for the stand.

ASSEMBLY

1. Remove burrs, prepare the threads and dry-fit the parts.

2. Seat the grille in the front recess and secure it with the two M2 screws or glue

3. Place the board on the rear shell’s mounting supports, with USB connectors towards the upper openings.

4. Fit the front and install the four M3 screws from the rear through the board’s mounting holes. Tighten evenly without bending the board.

5. Place the enclosure in the stand, connect cables and keep ventilation openings clear.
