Description
Enclosure for the LilyGo TTGO T-Display ESP32 development board. The enclosure provides two button levers that will activate the board buttons, a port for the USB C connector, a recessed leaver for the reset button on the board. It also provides slots on the back plate for access to the header pins of the board for easy connection of sensors, switches, LED's etc. There is enough room to fit a small Lipo battery inside as well. I kept damaging the screens on the boards I purchased so this was my attempt at protecting the screens and boards and is a handy enclosure to showcase any of your T-Display creations. The lower the layer hight the better resolution of the bevels and rounded edges, I printed mine using .15mm layer hight with a 2mm first layer using PLA filament.
I found a developer on GitHub (Volos) that has made a few games that run on the T-Display and this enclosure turns the board into a surprisingly fun little hand held game if you add a small Lipo battery. I found this one that fits nicely into the enclosure and is even small enough to fit in between the header pins if you add them: Lipo Battery
NOTE: The edges of the top may need to be filed or sanded slightly to make it fit into the base but trust me it does fit if you work at it. (I wanted a tight fit so that it would not fall off).
UPDATE December 21, 2022: The two front buttons and the reset button were breaking after prolonged use so I have updated the design to hopefully improve durability of the buttons. I also included a back with no slots for a cleaner design if access to the T-Display IO ports are not required.
