Case that fit the Coral Board with spring locked Double Compartments

Case that fits for Coral Board with Double Compartments

Case that fit the Coral Board is designed for easy access that allow prototyping and also storage. 
The open design allow easy installation of expansions boards, fans or customization. I will update with a rack for easy installation and customization. The design make it possible to lock with a Spring Latch Mechanism Remix.

About the design

This case is design with the user in focus, with that said the compartment that fits the Coral Board can be conntected and still be open to do some changes to the GPIO pins or other adjustments while the Coral Board is on.

This is done by using compartment that has an open side, this allow the connection to the Power, screen and USB to be connected while the compartment is taken out of the Main Box. Other board dont have this feauture and this make it easy to use. 

After the changes have been done, just put it back in to the Main Box without need of connecting any cables back again. 

Recommended Specifications

• Material: PLA, but feel free to use any filament you prefer.

• Color: Main Box black, Compartments Prusa orange.

• Support: Recommended for the compartments and the Box. The Box should be printed on it's back to reduce the material that is needed.

Included Files & Build Options

1. Case that fits Coral  Board and a Spair Part compartment

For those who want  to use the Coral Board but also want to have spair parts in same case. This is the solution for you where you can store cables, instructions, fans and so on.  Use the following parts:

This version offers the best practise since it's allways good to have a tidy table. Perfect if you have one Coral Board, when you get a new one you can print out a new Coral Board compartment since same main design for both.

This version offers the best performance since you can have two Coral Boards. If you have spair parts, then you could print Spair Parts Contanment and use it (See option 1).

For those who want a lid for the button for the compartments. Use the prefered build option and then print the lid. 

Plus: Buttons information for the compartments

This design is made possible by using the spring latch mechanism design by Iker Labano here at Printables.com. I have integrated his design in mine, and this allowes the compartments to lock. 
I have design the locking button to fit the design, but he has more choices, so please check out his awesome contribution. I want to add a BIG THANKS to this user!
