[REQUEST] CAD-design of CC2652 USB-stick housing/enclosure and STL-files for editing and 3D-printing? #9

Closed Hedda closed 4 years ago

@omerk Anyone working on an open-source CAD-design of a USB-stick housing/enclosure specifically made for CC2652 USB-sticks and if so would be willing to share their designs in STL file-format to enabling editing the design by others and 3D-printing?

One can, for example, get many designs and files for CC2531-based USB-dongles/USB-adapters (with or without antenna) on Thingiverse, example:

One can also buy professionally made injection moulding housings/enclosures from China via Alibaba or Aliexpress that one can take inspiration from, example:

By the way, I am not sure about English terminology for this, when talking about an exterior/outer protective covering for interior/inner electronic equipment in the specific context of a USB-dongle/USB-adapter like the Zig-a-zig-ah USB-stick, is the keyword called; enclosure, housing, casing, cover, case, box, shell, or another descriptive name that might be more correct?

zzh uses a very common off-the-shelf "usb shell" enclosure from China so unfortunately I don't have any STLs to share as I didn't design it.

Happy to accept contributions from anyone with the CAD experience to release an open-source enclosure for it though, ping me if you need any dimensions/3D data exported.
