Printing This Part

Part	Notes	Example
Cover	We recommend printing the cover with the front in contact with the build plate.

Settings

Cover

We start with the default "Standard Quality" 0.2 mm print profile. We recommend the following settings overrides:

Setting	Recommendation	Notes
Shell - Wall Line Count	3	This will print all of the walls as solid.
Shell - Bottom Layers	5	This will print the entire protective front as a solid piece of plastic without infill.
Infill - Density	50%	This part is a hollow shell and does not have many gaps between the walls that require infill. Nevertheless, this is set higher than normal to improve impact resistance at the curved corners.
Infill - Pattern	Tri-Hexagon Cubic Subdivision	These infill patterns provide good internal support in multiple directions.  Tri-Hexagon uses less filament but is also less durable.
Speed - Print Speed	40mm/s	For final production prints, we recommend printing slower than average to decrease stringing with small holes.
Support - Generate Support	Yes	This part has a lot of overhangs that require the use of supports.
Support - Support Structure	Tree	We highly recommend tree supports instead of normal supports. They take more time, but they require less filament and are much easier to remove from inside the case.
Support - Support Placement	Touching Buildplate	Only printing supports that touch the build plate are much easier to remove from this print.
Build Plate Adhesion - Adhesion Type	Skirt	This part has a lot of contact with the print bed and should not require a raft.
Experimental - Small Hole Max Size	30mm	This will cause the printer to print slower when it is printing the nut and bolt holes on the back of the case.

Results

Printers

This part has been print tested with the following 3D printers:

Manufacturer	Model	Notes
Creality	CR-10 Mini	Decent print quality. The Bowden extruder on the CR-10 series struggles with most flexible filaments, but it is possible.
Creality	CR-10	Decent print quality. The Bowden extruder on the CR-10 series struggles with most flexible filaments, but it is possible.
Creality	Ender 3 S-1 Pro	Excellent print quality. The all-metal direct drive extruder printed TPU and TPE like they were standard rigid filaments.

Build Surface

This part has been print tested with the following build surfaces:

Method	Notes
Painter's tape
Glue stick	Creates an uneven and non-uniform first print layer appearance.
Adhesive build surface	First layer may have problems printing full height depending on type and hardness of build surface, but this does not affect the overall printability.
Polyetherimide (PEI) build plate	This part may require a raft if there are issues with the first layer staying adhered.

Filament

This part has been print tested with the following materials:

Filament	Manufacturer	Notes
Priline TPU	Priline	Excellent print quality when used with a direct drive printer like the Creality S-1 Pro.
Ninjatek NinjaFlex TPU	Ninjatek	Excellent print quality when used with a direct drive printer like the Creality S-1 Pro.
