Case Variants

Besides the friction-fit PE-Edition, there are magnet-held case variants contributed by the community. Download links for all parts are on the Model Files page.

Magnet Case

These models can be supplemented with magnets so you no longer have to hold the front panel onto the case with a rubber band. The full procedure and more detail are described in the contributor’s Twitter thread.

Recommended magnets (from supermagnete.ch):

• Magnets: 5 × 5 mm round, nickel-plated — S-05-05-N

• Metal plates: 2 × 10 mm, self-adhesive — PAS-10

Magnet Case — with button hole

This variant (update by axelhamburch, 838776) adds a hole in the upper area of the front panel for a 12 mm LED button.

Note

You will need a drill and possibly a file for the screen backplate. Depending on which display you use, you may also need to file a feed-through for the ribbon cable.
