Printable case for MEMENTO

You can 3D print your own snap fit enclosure for the Memento, Adafruit’s all-in-one camera dev board for creating your own, fully customizable digital camera.

The Memento features an ESP32-S3 chip, a 240x240 color TFT display, microphone, speaker buzzer, and six user buttons.

On the front side, it’s got an OV5640 5 megapixel camera module, SD card slot, accelerometer, LiPo battery charging over USB-C, and three expansion ports for additional sensors and modules.

Wearable

You can 3D print our snap fit enclosure designs in your favorite colored filament to keep it protected.

Attach a lanyard to the stylized loops for on-the-go wearability or add a threaded tripod screw for those locked down shots.

3D Printed Parts

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 using PLA filament. Original design source files may be downloaded using the links below.

Slice with Settings for PLA material 

The parts were sliced using CURA using the slice settings below.

• PLA filament 200c extruder
• 0.2 layer height
• 10% gyroid infill
• 60mm/s print speed
• 60c heated bed

This snap fit enclosure for MEMENTO features an LED ring diffuser. The two halves can be printed without any supports and snap fit together without any fasteners. It features access to all of the on-board components and the expansion ports. It also features a spot for a threaded tripod screw insert.

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.

Battery  

Use the JST port to plug in the LiPo battery.
Cut a small piece of thin, double-sided foam tape to adhere the battery to the circuit board. 

Align case

Position the screen and buttons to the cutouts on the case part.

Snap fit

Align the front case part to match the shape around the shutter button.

Press the halves together to join the case.

Tripod screw

An optional 3/8 to 25/20 thread screw fits to attach a tripod.

Use a flat head or the end of tweezers to thread the adapter.
