I used infill modifiers to print the area around the holes for the treaded inserts with 100% infill (I used a simple cube with 15mm edges as stencil and placed it at the holes). The mounting holes print fine without supports inside, but you’ll have to rework them with a drill since they won’t be very round at that layer height (the ones that get heat inserts are fine without rework).
It is pretty large (320x160mm) so it took about four days to print and used a little more than 1kg of PLA.
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!
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!
