Portable Computer Shell

This is a generic enclosure which is meant for hobbyist use. The side compartments support BL-5C type batteries and pathways are made to the center compartment which can hold the main electronics. The keyboard supports Cherry MX style keyswitches and Costar stabilizers. The cover/lid can support a monitor, or other type of display, or can be left as-is. The lid can be attached to the main body with off-the-shelf friction hinges.

The individual components are split into cover, bottom, switch, and top printable sections. The handle versions have a _h suffix in the file name. The "assembled.stl" and "assembled_h.stl" models are previews of the plates in assembled orientation.

To ensure proper scaling before printing, make sure the switch cutout size is exactly 14 x 14mm. The rest of the enclosure should proportionally match after that. To ensure better stability and sturdy typing feel, the switch plate can be laser cut in ABS or similar material instead of 3D printing.
