Let’s start with the printing first. You can work on the electronics and software while the printer runs the job.
If doing your own custom build — for example, if using different components — skip ahead to the next page. The 3D-printed parts are specifically designed around the Pro Trinket board and components listed previously.
Customize The Design
The parts where modeled in Autodesk Fusion 360, so it's easy to modify the design. The design is public and available to download in different formats. If you'd like to use a different CAD software package, you are free to import the files and remix them.
Slicer Settings
To slice the parts, we used Simplify3D. We recommend using the settings below or use them as reference. We 3D printed the part on a BCN3D Sigma with a 6.mm nozzle. If you have Simplify3D, you can download our profiles below.

To speed up printing we used a .6mm nozzle. Using a large nozzle cuts printing down to 20 mins for the box and 15 mins for the lid. |

Filament Materials
We recommend using PLA material to reduce wrapping while 3D printing. The parts can be printed in different types of filament, such as ABS, PET or Nylon.
PLA filament is easiest to work with. If printing in ABS instead, you might need to scale the model up slightly (about 2%) to allow for shrinkage.
Threads and screws
We used M2 x .4 x 4mm screws for the Trinket Pro, RTC and display boards.
Use a screw (or a tapping tool, if you have one) to create the threads for each standoff before mounting the boards. Make sure to apply a bit of pressure and to keep the screw straight while turining.
