GPDR and all that stuff In accordance with various bits of legislation around the world, either currently in force, about to come into force or proposed, you will now find that annoying "We use cookies" notice at the top of this website.

First up, it is important to note that the files presented here are for the original pcb which was 96 x 52mm, but those with the know-how should be able to easily modify them for the new pcb (100 x 55mm - available soon). I will be the first to say I have little knowledge of 3d printing, although I did try to order a printer a little while ago to learn about the process (the Creality website let me get to the end of the checkout process and then politely told me they didn't ship to South Australia - morons). So, below are the pictures and files that Gary sent me, with permission to post them here. He did say that he used small magnets in the corners to hold the lid on. Update - a note from Gary - "The magnets came from Ebay - 100x Super Strong Round Disc Magnets Rare-Earth Neodymium Magnet Cuboid Cylinder size 4mm x 4mm (actual size was 4mm x 3.69) I used 8, but be sure they are inserted with correct polarity so as to attract and not repell!!" If you do make modifications to these files, it would be appreciated if you would send them to me for inclusion on this page.
