I designed a slim case for the #why2025 badge, that prints in one piece, without support, using only 37g of filament.

This mostly sits on the back of the carrier board, allowing add-ons to sit snugly up against the main PCB.

The small sides help keep the faceplate in place.

Yeeeessss, this is exactly what I was looking for! Although I love all other designs, I really wanted something that doesn't make it wider than needed. Thank you for designing and sharing!

@thomasflummer any chance you've also uploaded the files on another platform? I've tried downloading them, but without signing up, I'm not able to download anything (despite the pop-up saying I could download up to 5 models without logging in)

@jay9 The design is now also available at Printables (https://www.printables.com/model/1387194-slim-case-for-why2025-event-badge) and on Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/flummer/why-2025-badge-hardware/-/tree/main/Case/slim pending merge to the official hardware repo).

The design has also been tweaked a little as a mistake had accidentally filled the top mounting holes half way up

@thomasflummer Which face did you print on?
Show threadThomas FlummerAug 19, 2025
@terinjokes This is designed to be printed standing up with the expansion connector cut outs at the very top. This way it should be able to print without the need for support. I used 0.12 mm layer height.
