Case for the VIM3 and M2X

VIM3
242

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.

sd can be useful to you for Krescue, it sometimes helps a lot

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. :smile:

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. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nope, it is one of those cheap mini keyboards you can find on the market,
you can follow the Video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SO4amBc0Tbw,
I was inspired to make this, in a time where I did not have any sbc’s, and was still tinkering with Microcontrollers

Your design looks much better than what I found on YouTube. :smiley:

The keyboard meshes neatly with the 3d printed case.
