Pimoroni Display Pack 2 Case

Overall:

This is a case for a PICO with a Display Pack 2 mounted to it.  I created the case so that I could utilize the 2" screen in a classroom environment, limiting breakage.  This seems to be working well.

There are now two versions of the case:

1. A version held together with screws.
2. A version with built in clips to hold it all together.

I built this case to be able to house a Pimoroni Pico LiPo, as I wanted more memory for a project.

Note:

The screw together version has two bottoms, one for a standard PICO, and one for a Pimoroni LiPo.

Screw Together:

Clip Together:

I have modified the clip together style model so that you can perform a 2 color first layer print if you wish.  The DisplayPack2 - 2 Color.3mf file is all set for a Prusa MK4.  The printer will automatically request a filament color change at the beginning of the print.  This is for the letters.  The second color change will be for the main body.

Two Color First Layer Basics:

If you can't use DisplayPack2 - 2 Color.3mf for some reason, the following may help you do the same in another slicer.

• In your slicer, import Clip-Body.stl.  Edit the .stl file, and select a "load' operation to add in the individual letter STL files.  This places them in the proper location relative to where ever the Clip-Body.stl file is located.
• Create two extruders.  Assign the first one to the Letters.  Assign the second one to the body.
• Modify the tool change G-Code (see your printer settings,  under custom G-code) copy the contents of the “Color Change G-Code” settings and put that in “Tool Change G-code”
• Slice and export the gcode.

Print Suggestions:

I printed in PLA, with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layers.  If you are printing with the two color letters, I find the best results are with a high contrast between the colors.
