Hey man, I didn’t even know what to expect 
Desperate times, call for desperate measures, and desperate resources 
That actually looks pretty neat!
You know, paper is a wonderful material. All you’ve got to do is mess around with the thickness (grade). You can build really durable things out of paper. There are even coatings for waterproofing, etc.

Yes, It is a wonderful material, and and quite cheap too 
, and it came for free with the display too.

I finally got round to printing the case and taking a picture.
Thanks for all the work in designing this.

Yes, it looks very unusual, I like, by the way, what kind of material?

Just standard grey PLA. I’ll take some more pictures tomorrow and send them across. I printed without the SD card slot since it is not required for me with the M2X board being used.
The only thing I would like to look it is a way of covering the three side buttons but still be able to use them.

I don’t really use Krescue since I have had problems when I installed packages from there and tried to dual boot with CoreELEC. Now I just burn directly to the board using the AMLOGIC software connected via USB C.

In any case, everyone does as they feel comfortable, it’s a personal matter, I agree with you

Great job @Electr1 and @AlexBudd! I’m very impressed with how your VIM case turned out! It looks very elegant.
Personally, I have this idea of creating a VIM3 MID. Perhaps touchscreen + battery + keyboard. I’m guessing I have to locate a suitable mini USB keyboard to hack.

Please stop, you have already tempted me too much, I still can’t get anywhere without a printer here

You know it still worked out really well for Alex.
When you’ve attained the skill of “I can design a practical case, without having a 3D printer next to me”, you have achieved master-level.

Nope, it is one of those cheap mini keyboards you can find on the market,

I was inspired to make this, in a time where I did not have any sbc’s, and was still tinkering with Microcontrollers
