CoralBoard Modular Case - Camera Mount & Adjustable Stand

One case. More possibilities.

A modular enclosure for the CoralBoard kit, built around a small family of reusable parts. Start with a desk case, add an adjustable stand, or give the camera its own mount.

Three ways to set up

• Desk case: the lower shell, snap-on lid and two button caps enclose the board while keeping its connections accessible.

• Tilting stand: mount the camera on the sensor expansion board, then tilt and turn the whole enclosure on the base.

• Camera mount: place the camera in the round frame above the lid and adjust its view while the enclosure stays in place.

Same parts. A different role.

The round frame doubles as a camera holder and an empty rotating base. The same adjustable arm moves between the lid and the underside of the enclosure. Reassemble the shared parts when changing setups; one pair serves one role at a time.

Features

• Adjustable view: screw-adjusted joints provide camera tilt or whole-enclosure tilt and horizontal rotation.

• Snap-on lid: four flexible clips, two on each side. Lower the lid to close; press the clips inward and gently lift to open. No separate lid screws.

• Easy access: connector openings, two button caps, a top opening for the sensor board and camera cable, and ten ventilation slots.

• Desk or monitor mount: the base includes 75 x 75 mm and 100 x 100 mm VESA mounting patterns, direct enclosure attachment points and a central rotating seat.

Hardware compatibility

Designed around the Synaptics Coralboard 2GB Limited Edition / Coralboard Google I/O Edition kit, its Sensor HAT accessory board, camera and ribbon cable. The Sensor HAT is the optional expansion board with microphones, a buzzer and programmable lights. The camera cable connects to the main board in both camera positions.

This is not a universal fit claim for other expansion boards. Some accessory dimensions are estimated; check your actual kit before printing.

Included files

Six printable part designs in STL and STEP format, in millimetres: lower shell, snap-on lid, round frame, adjustable arm, mounting base and button cap. Print the button cap twice. Reference electronics and Blender scenery are not part of the model download.

The feature-card PDF shows the configurations and details. The technical presentation, assembly guide and parts, hardware and electronics lists provide the build information. Part letters in those documents match the downloadable filenames.

Printing and assembly

Suggested starting settings: 0.4 mm nozzle, 0.2 mm layers, 3-4 walls and 20-30% infill. These are starting points, not tested print profiles. Trial-print the clip and joint interfaces first, inspect overhangs in your slicer, and add local supports where needed.

Install lower mounting hardware before the main board. Connect the camera ribbon before closing parts that obstruct access. Support the camera or enclosure while loosening a joint, leave cable slack, and avoid twisting the ribbon. Continuous rotation with cables attached is not intended.

Design preview

All images are renders of the model, not photographs of printed parts. The base is shown with an aluminium finish; this is a visual material, not a tested metal manufacturing specification. Physical fit, snap durability, cable clearance, stability and mounting loads still need testing. Check the monitor mount and its required screw lengths before use.
