The system generally consists of front plates, frames to hold the board and backs to hold one or more batteries. I have included all usablecombinations of these. A case is initially built by bolting one of each of these together in a stack. There are many options for different use cases. Also, I tried to make sure there was enough room and space for things like header pins and addons. These cases are intended to be modified and experimented on. Model source code and the project file has been included as well as some tool models that may help you modify or put your own spin on things.Why did I make this?Once upon a time I was a developer of things. I felt there needed to be a system that provided users with swappable options and also was free for users to modify and use in any way they chose. The system should be able to supply some simple builds for new people as well as advanced builds for the hardened veterans. My biggest hope is that users modify and remix parts or all of this system and release it back into the wild.Licensing?These files are released as Public Domain to benefit everyone.
