See my Caliper Case Post for more info on winding your own torsion springs using the winding blocks included in this download.

 

This project involves some basic sewing. You can see how I sewed some of the pieces in the photos though I am far from a sewing expert so you shouldn’t use mine as a model. The screen protector sleeve and the flexible Velcro straps are the only sewed parts.

 

I printed all the parts out of PETG at 0.3mm layer heights. 

 

No supports for any of the parts!

 

I have included a short build guide in the downloads with more pictures and some instructions and screw/pin placements.

 

The AC logo for the circuit board shroud is supposed to be printed as just infill.

 

I am not going to go into detail on how to do the inlay. I saved the files separately then combined them with pauses in between to change out the filament. I went through and cut and pasted the specific layers manually in the gcode. I have included a blank base as well so you wouldn't need to do any gcode editing.

 

Happy Printing and thank you for the support!
