M3 Socket Head Cap Machine Screws (SHCS)

Description

I recently got my hands on an Anbernic RG34XX (which is the same in size as a Nintendo GameBoy Advance / GBA as far as I know). As for all of my handhelds, I wanted to have a case for it, so I can throw it in my backpack without needing to worry about it getting damaged. As this device already seemed very tanky to me, I decided to go for a as slim as possible box, but while keeping my minimal protection standards (completely enclosed, additional protection to the front). And because of the curved back of the device, I kept the box' bottom part flat rather than perfectly fit, so you can tap one side of the device to lift it up and easily get it out of the case.

Also I decided to make this usable with the original foam padding that comes with the device for everyone who can't print TPU. So you now got a few options here:

use the original foam padding from the packaging the device came in
print the TPU padding that comes with the print profile (plate 3)
download the scan of the original padding and use it as a stencil to cut a fitting piece yourself (the TPU part and the original piece have a thickness of 3.4mm)

The case itself then gets assembled using 4x 30mm M3 screws and some glue or double sided adhesive tape to glue in the screen protection.

As always, let me see your makes! And if you really like it, I would be very glad if you give this model a rating or even a boost.
Happy printing (and gaming) everyone :)

Printed well and fits perfectly. Used the insert from my RG34XX box. Printed with eSun PLA+ Black & White, and also printed the 30mm M3 screws rather than buying.

@Gorroth

Looks great! I didn’t know you can print M3 screws! How are they holding up so far? Does the case open and close normally? And does the latch click when closing?

@BarkerZero

Replying to @Gorroth :

So far, so good. The latch is a little bit slack, but it doesn't come undone unless I move it or knock the latch, it might be worth making the latch maybe 1mm tighter, though that's just me. I also used a little bit of glue to stick the insert into the case

@Gorroth

Replying to @BarkerZero :

I already thought the latch might be a bit loose with printed screws. It snaps shut pretty pleasantly with normal screws though. Maybe it would be worth a try with non-printed screws (If you find some anywhere 😉). Maybe I’ll try printed screws myself some time and see if I can do something. And yes, the insert has to be glued in, that’s on purpose. The printed part might even fit without glue, as there is only a 0.1mm tolerance, but the original one is a bit smaller, so it has to be glued in order to stay in place. Even a little piece of double sided adhesive tape should be enough 😊

Awesome case for the RG34XX. Printed this using MatterHackers-HS on a Flashforge Adventurer 5M. Using printed M3 screws as well.

The designer has replied

@Gorroth

Looks great! Did you print the screws with a standard 0.4mm nozzle? I need to try them one day 🤔

@Naxster

Replying to @Gorroth :

Yes, they were printed with a 0.4mm nozzle.

@Labyrinthian

Excellent design! Turned out perfect. Printed with 3D Fuel Galaxy Black and Glow-in-the-Dark PCTG so this thing is tough as nails. I might reprint the lid in white like @BarkerZero 's below since the glow-in-the-dark has a clarity to it I don't like as well as looking washed out and blended into the shell at the edges. I think I'll print the top insert in TPU at 10% gyroid infill with a 0-layer side to expose the infill and create more of a cushion, and a solid side to glue it in, and incorporate the void space for the buttons, of course. I'm currently working on designing little TPU inserts for the left and right side of the bottom shell to cradle the sweet baby in cushy goodness without lifting it out of the case so it'll close as intended. I'll report back with the remix link when done! Thanks @Gorroth !

@Gorroth

Thank you very much! happy to hear you like it 😎I thought about making a full inner TPU surrounding like it did with my Odin 2 Case for example, but as this little guy is an absolute tank I thought I’d rather make the box a bit thinner by not adding a full TPU insert. Didn’t want to leave the display exposed though 😅Keep us updated on your TPU inserts, curious to see the results 😎🤘If you want, add a print profile right here, so people can find it more easily 😉

Turn Out to be Excellent just a minor problem near the front hinge as the parts near the front hinge are small there happen bed adhesion issue so kindly use brim, other than that everything turn out to be fine. As for the internal tpu cushion i used 1 wall and 5% infill it turned out to be great soft and flexible.

That looks beautiful! If you don’t have M3 screws, others who printed this told me they just printed screws 😊

@user_822216064

you can stick paste velvet in the internal part make the box a few mm bigger stick a velvet clothinside for cushioning and it will protect from scratch

The designer has replied

@Gorroth

I had initially thought about lining the box completely with TPU on the inside, as I have done with boxes for other handhelds, but the 34XX seems so indestructible that I decided against it in this case. But yes, lining it with velvet would also be a good option, especially if you can't (or don't want to) print TPU
