# CLUE Slim Case ## Overview https://youtu.be/hR6R-LBULz0 ## Slim CLUE Case In this project, we’re making a slim case for the Adafruit CLUE development/educational board. It features a removable bottom piece so you can access the edge connector. ![3d_printing_hero-front.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/702/medium640/3d_printing_hero-front.jpg?1588034871) ![3d_printing_hero-side.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/703/medium640/3d_printing_hero-side.jpg?1588035501) ## Edge Connector With the bottom piece removed you can connect alligator clips to the edge connector! ![3d_printing_edge-connected.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/704/medium640/3d_printing_edge-connected.jpg?1588036370) ## Snap Fit Edge Cover The case is 3D printed using PLA and doesn’t require any support material. The case snap fits together and doesn’t need any hardware screws to secure the board. This makes connecting other boards like the STEMMA Speaker much more plug and play. ![3d_printing_hero-edge-off.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/705/medium640/3d_printing_hero-edge-off.jpg?1588035821) ![3d_printing_hero-edge.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/706/medium640/3d_printing_hero-edge.jpg?1588035893) ## Ports You can use the JST port to plug in an external lipo battery for those portable projects. You also have access to the USB port and STEMMA port so you can reprogram and easily connect more sensors. ![3d_printing_hero-ports.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/714/medium640/3d_printing_hero-ports.jpg?1588038494) ![3d_printing_hero-back.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/090/715/medium640/3d_printing_hero-back.jpg?1588038692) - [Next Page](https://learn.adafruit.com/clue-slim-case/3d-printing.md) ## Featured Products ### Adafruit CLUE - nRF52840 Express with Bluetooth® LE [Adafruit CLUE - nRF52840 Express with Bluetooth® LE](https://www.adafruit.com/product/4500) Do you feel like you just don't have a CLUE? Well, we can help with that - get a CLUE here at Adafruit by picking up this sensor-packed development board. We wanted to build some projects that have a small screen and a lot of sensors. To make it compatible with existing projects, we made...
