What a question…
Dave premium of course
It turns out the PCB mounting holes are a perfect fit for M2 bolts. I thought that was a bug since the holes in the display’s PCB are for M3 bolts. But… there’s a very little space right to the display and the head of an M3 bolt doesn’t fit there while a M2 bolt fits perfectly. I’m not sure if we can make any good use of that. Just FYI enclosure design team. @mmaner @lrdesigns @moon

Just as an idea, maybe you can implement a pop up in case there is a fault code. Something like a red bar in the top or the down where the fault is written and will appear only in case there is a fault. I know we limited by the display, so maybe there is some other kind of indication we can think about. I don’t know so much faults but it would be nice to have something as min for drv fault and abs over current.

This is my initial version, I already see some changes I want to make but I think its good for a test run.
1. There is a base plate that can be used to mount over X-Braces, in case anyone wants it.
2. I am using passthrough columns to mount the electronics to the case using a 2mm hex head screw on top and bolt on the bottom, preferably with a rubber washer between the nut and PCB. This keeps aspace between the electronics and the deck, hopefully minimizing damage, and can be used for a neoprene pad or such.
3. I am using 1in coarse thread wood screws to mount the case to the deck, preferably a philips or hex version. I'll go looking and see what specific screws I can find once I have a test piece printed.
4. There are 3 buttons on the side, Im assuming using standard 4.5mm momentary push buttons mounted to the inside of the case and the the printed buttons being glued to them during the assembly.
5. I have included a 1.5mm lexan/polycarbonate screen protector. I have no clue where to get that, but I can probably cut a few at work if they are difficult to source.
Everything, other than the electronics and screws, is printable including the columns and base plate. Thh base plate should probably be cut from aluminum, but I doubt an ABS or Nylon version would be much worse.

That looks pretty neat! I should get a 3D printer. I just have to think of some good arguments for my wife that we need one. I’m afraid that “I need to print a case for a gadget for my eMTB” wouldn’t do.

They you need the printer for Dave.
I‘m sure she will understand that

Sex toys, just make sure you putty spray and fine grit sand them before use. Otherwise… ribbed, for her pleasure.

If you only plan to make cases, why not get a loyal Dave follower to print some for you?
