The top cover snap features onto the case. ![3d_printing_cad-explode.gif](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/597/medium640thumb/3d_printing_cad-explode.jpg?1674489501) ## CAD Parts List STL files for 3D printing are oriented to print "as-is" on FDM style machines. Parts are designed to 3D print without any support material with PLA filament. Original design source may be downloaded using the links below: - scorpio-case.stl - scorpio-cover.stl ![3d_printing_case-parts.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/612/medium640/3d_printing_case-parts.jpg?1674506740) [Download CAD source](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/617/original/Scorpio_Case_Source.zip?1674512344) [Download STLs.zip](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/618/original/STLs.zip?1674512358) ## Build Volume The parts require a 3D printer with a minimum build volume. - 60mm (X) x 50mm (Y) x 50mm (Z) ![3d_printing_CURA-sliced.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/599/medium640/3d_printing_CURA-sliced.jpg?1674490392) ## Design Source Files The project assembly was designed in Fusion 360. This can be downloaded in different formats like STEP, STL and more. Electronic components like Adafruit's boards, displays, connectors and more can be downloaded from the [Adafruit CAD parts GitHub Repo](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CAD_Parts/tree/main/5650%20Feather%20RP2040%20Scorpio). ![3d_printing_5650-Feather-RP2040-Scorpio.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/613/medium640/3d_printing_5650-Feather-RP2040-Scorpio.jpg?1674507259) # Feather Scorpio Snap Fit Case ## Assembly ## Choose Headers Decide which headers will be needed for your project. The Feather RP2040 Scorpio ships with the following headers: - 2x 1x16 male straight headers - 1x 2x8 male straight headers - 1x 2x8 male right-angled headers ## Installing Headers The case supports headers installed onto the top side of the Feather RP2040 Scorpio. ## Install Feather RP2040 Scorpio Insert the Feather at an angle so the PCB slides underneath the clips. External wire can be fed through the bottom slot of the case such as voltage and ground connections. ![3d_printing_case-feather-install.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/602/medium640/3d_printing_case-feather-install.jpg?1674503233) ## Align Mounting Holes Place the PCB down so it fits flush with the built-in standoffs. Adjust the PCB so the mounting holes are lined up. ![3d_printing_case-feather-holes.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/603/medium640/3d_printing_case-feather-holes.jpg?1674503274) ## Install Screws Insert two M2.5 x 10mm long screws through the bottom of the case.  There's a slot down the middle of the case back that can be used for external wires. ![3d_printing_case-screws-install.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/604/medium640/3d_printing_case-screws-install.jpg?1674503288) ## Secure Feather Insert and fasten 2x M2.5 hex nuts onto the threads of the screws. Make sure the hex nuts do not cover the on-board LEDs on the Feather. ![3d_printing_case-nuts-secured.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/605/medium640/3d_printing_case-nuts-secured.jpg?1674503302) ## Top Cover Orient the top cover so the two slots are lined up with the header pins on the Feather. ![3d_printing_case-top.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/606/medium640/3d_printing_case-top.jpg?1674503322) ## Installed Cover Press the two parts together to snap fit them together. ![3d_printing_case-top-installed.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/607/medium640/3d_printing_case-top-installed.jpg?1674503358) ## USB Cable Insert a USB-C data cable to connect and power up the Feather RP2040 Scorpio. ![3d_printing_case-usb-cable.jpg](https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/assets/assets/000/117/608/medium640/3d_printing_case-usb-cable.jpg?1674503418) ## Guide Products ### Adafruit Feather RP2040 SCORPIO - 8 Channel NeoPixel Driver [Adafruit Feather RP2040 SCORPIO - 8 Channel NeoPixel Driver](https://www.adafruit.com/product/5650) If there is one thing Adafruit is known for, its mega-blinky-fun-rainbow-LEDs.
