CYD (Cheap Yellow Display) Modular Case

Summary

This is a modular rework / remix of the original case design by ncmreynolds, licensed under the Creative Commons - Attribution - Share Alike license. Full credit to them for the original idea and base structure.

What’s New?

The goal of this remix was to simplify and modularize the case:

Simplified Top and Bottom Layers
The top and bottom sections are now smaller and less complex, making them easier and faster to print.

Better Fit for CYD Boards
The original groove was too tight for some CYD boards. This version adjusts that for a more reliable fit.

Modular Extensions
You can now stack layers to suit your project. Add or remove sections as needed!
