3D Printing
Download the case STL file using the link below. Bored of printing with just a single color of filament? Try this!
You can achieve a multi-color part with an FDM 3D printer using a "change filament" technique.

Post Processing Filament Change
In the Ultimaker CURA software, access the Post Processing Plugin window by going to the top menu:
Extensions > Post Processing > Modify G-Code
Click the Add a Script button and choose Filament Change from the dropdown menu.
To achieve the five layers of colors, add four Filament Change scripts. Enter a value in the layer section and enable the Use Firmware Configuration option.
Filament Change Layers
Use a yellow colored filament for the layers 1-19, then swap out the filament for black when the 3D printer parks and goes through the change filament process.
- Layer 20 – Black
- Layer 40 – Yellow
- Layer 60 – Black
- Layer 80 – Yellow
Support Material
For best print quality, use support material in the USB port area. This will help with bridging and creates a nice quality surface. Use the following settings in your slicer program.
- Support Placement: Everywhere
- Enable Support Interface
- Support Interface Resolution: 0.2mm
- Support Interface Density: 20%
- Support Density: 10%
