Overview
Building the Mario Cloud Jewelry is a fun weekend project the will get you familiar with soldering small components into a tight space. The 3D files are editable to adjust for different tolerances of our printer and resolution you’ll be printing in.

The Mario Cloud Pendant includes the mounting holes for the 1.4” TFT display, enclosure and back cover. Boolean and union files allow you to easily adjust the walls and port holes.

Component Widgets
Widgets used in the project include the slide switch and interior usb ports. The non union portion of the file is included if you need to rotate the slide switch and usb to the top of the enclosure.

Select accompanying parts and rotate 180 degrees, just make sure to appropriately wire the circuit to fit the adjust design.

Boolean Order
The order of operations for subtracting the standoffs should be in this order:

• Merge stand offs the the enclosure first

• Subtract the standoff voids before merging the usb port hole. This way the void doesn’t subtract from the usb port.

Now we can merge the outer usb port hole, slide switch clips and standoffs.

Subtract the display cutout, slide switch hole and interior usb cut out and the additional details on the front face of the enclosure.

Back Cover
The back cover includes the loop for the split ring. Adjust the thickness for a larger ring by selecting the inside wall and using the pull option.

Cover standoff
The cover screw (#4 phillips) uses a standoff the secure the it to the LiPoly backpack mounting hole.

Lip voids
The compact design needs cutouts around the slide switch and usb port to allow it to fit.

Lip pillar
A 9mm pillar is added the lip to decrease the bulging caused by the vids needed to fit the enclosure.

Chamfer Screw hole
To allow the screw to be flush against the back cover, we’ll use a 2mm chamfer.

Buttons
Add that extra touch to the design by printing each tiny button to add to the front face of the enclosure. You can paint or use different colors for each. Use glue to adhere the buttons to the face.

Wear it!
Add a small split ring to the loop and show off your love for retro!

Every Thursday is #3dthursday here at Adafruit! The DIY 3D printing community has passion and dedication for making solid objects from digital models. Recently, we have noticed electronics projects integrated with 3D printed enclosures, brackets, and sculptures, so each Thursday we celebrate and highlight these bold pioneers!

Have you considered building a 3D project around an Arduino or other microcontroller? How about printing a bracket to mount your Raspberry Pi to the back of your HD monitor? And don’t forget the countless LED projects that are possible when you are modeling your projects in 3D!
