Alright, I hear ya. Here’s a version without the pencil holder:

Download: .stp or .stl

Just in case you want to do your own designs, here’s a model containing the VIM3, heatsink, fan and LCD:

I’m thinking that later designs could reduce the LCD over-hang, to make it even easier to print.

And if the corners weren’t so rounded, it could be possible to decrease the distance between the buttons and the outside of the case.

Perhaps adding a 45 degree chamber on the bottom, so it looks slimmer and easier to hold.

Alternatively, the LCD box and SBC box could be printed separately, could have some other design advantages to that.

For another time…

@tsangyoujun by any chance do you know what the screen orientation would be if the display was connected up to it ? or can you flip the screen orientation in the OS ?

change of orientation, I think it would be logical

Yep but remember that screen orientation is not yet there in ubuntu, still a bit finicky,

this is a software nuance, I’m sure it will be fixed, auto-rotation will be even better, but this is a hardware nuance

Yes, I know, will be soon fixed, but if Auto rotate comes, I will have finally have the Chance to use the Accelerometer onboard :grinning:

What is a hardware nuisance ?

I have this word written differently!

“nuance”
:rofl:

you confused buddy!

Nah, I believe got that word right on the first try :grin:

hmm, I still recommend verifying the words again
:blush:

Oops, I understood that wrong, never heard of such a word, Thanks for Giving me the opportunity to add it in my vocabulary :smile:

nuance != nuisance :stuck_out_tongue:

@Electr1 yea I don’t have software control for the screen orientation. But since it is a box, technically you can flip it on either side and its usable.

Oh was was modifying it and trying to see how I could put a Flip stand on it when it was in Landscape mode, but I need a reference of the screen turned on and connected to the board so I could see which side is top,

Is this the correct reference ?, I just guessed it by looking at the Logo orientation,

I am planning to print one , but don’t have a 3D printer, but my Father’s office has Small one available they use for prototyping. so I could ask him to print one out for me.

According to @numbqq if you’re using Android, VIM3 can use the accelerometer to adjust to whichever orientation you fancy. However Ubuntu (Linux) will be locked to the vertical orientation only.

Remember to print with support material. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, I won’t forget that :grinning:, but since the board is flipped upside down won’t that affect Screen rotation in android ?, I mean like upside down when vertical ?

Good point, I hadn’t considered that. You could experience “reversed flipping”. :smile:
