Description
Small case for EDTracker DIY build (does not house the official PCB), I used a 6 pin JST connector inside to join the MPU and Pro Micro, connected via the following:
(Pro Micro left, MPU Right)
VCC > VCC GND > GND P3 > SCL P2 > SDA GND > ADD P7 > INT
Tolerances are tight as it's pressure fit, it should hold itself together well, if you don't use a connector or have enough wire inside use a little foam to keep the MPU and Pro micro apart, otherwise it's fairly self explanatory.
If you find the parts are not tight enough or are too tight try adjusting your extrusion multiplier + or - 5% or so, this should be enough to get a snug fit unless your calibration is way out, this is by far the easiest way to adjust it but if you go too low your part will lose strength.
With the 9250 or 9150 orientation matters, best way to check is to line up the P3 / P2 and SCL / SCA pins on the boards, this will ensure correct orientation when in use.
I'm planning an update using some proper pin connections between these two and wires for the rest, this should allow a smaller profile, I'll add this as a remix when I get time.
When orientated on headphones the Pro Micro should be up, if you're seeing strange movements in the EDTracker GUI such as drifting back to centre this is most likely the cause.

Parts list:
Along with a little soldering and printing, less than £10 for a pretty brilliant head tracker!

25%
Notes:
On my printer I found that printing at 0.2mm made for a tighter fit, I assume due to the rougher texture / print quality.
This part looks really nice at 0.1mm though so I'd suggest that, if you also use translucent filament the lights from the MPU and Pro Micro come through pleasantly, hence the reason my example is printed in red!
Glow in the dark could be interesting due to the internal light source potentially.
