Details
RogueNull posted the design as a functional prototype 'with no features' for the community to build on: a simple case body and a hinged faceplate over the screen with hidden pockets for microSD cards, with antenna mounting planned for a second revision. The faceplate is glued to a long support bar, the hinge pin is a piece of filament melted at both ends, and the case needs longer screws than stock. Print the hinges, bar and faceplate in PETG or tougher; the MakerWorld profile (uploaded as sirG3d, CC BY-NC) is 0.2 mm, three walls, 70 % infill, about 2.6 h over two plates.
It is a design, not the official CAD — see the separate entry for ClockworkPi's STEP and OBJ files.
