I like the holder for the antenna. But the case can't withstand much force at all. And the recommended 20mm bolts were sticking out by more than acceptable.

Thank you for your review. when printed with correct print settings, this case is suitable for most applications. If you require something with significant strength/impact resistance, a 3D printed case may not be the best option.
Regarding the screw length, I double checked the model and the screw length is indeed designed for 20mm screws. The overall length is designed to account for 2 times the acceptable DIN912 screw length tolerance. If you are having issues I would check the following:
- Are you actually using 20mm SHCS?
- Are your screws in spec?
- Is your printer printing dimensionally accurate parts?
- Are you overtightening the screws compressing the plastic?
- etc.
I really like this design. My custom 3D-printed case is much more unique than anything store-bought.
I printed this case to house my new Orange Pi Zero 3 board, I installed the Klipper on my Ender 3 v3 SE with this board. The case was perfect and has a great aesthetic effect.
@mps_2533659 looks great!
Hi, how are you?
I tried to generate the gcode for the bottom and top models, both in Orcaslicer and Prusaslicer, and it generates the message "A gcode path goes beyond plate boundaries. Here is a print of the screen showing the movements outside the plate.
Do you have any tips for solving this? I searched a lot on Google and tried to repair the .stl with Prusaslicer without success.
Thank you for your attention
@Sliver3d_2063017 The "thick hex" version does not have this problem. I printed successfully.
Can I buy one from you? Or anyone else? I love all the designs posted here and have been looking for a compact case for my OPiZ3 board. I don't have a 3D printer and would love to get one of these... even if it is a reject. I am in the US in Orlando, FL and would be willing to purchase one for a reasonable price plus shipping. You can email me at amin@praxsoft.com. Thanks a lot! (edited)

Thanks for your review. The dimensions of the holes and nut slot consider the max dimensions specified in the DIN standard plus some additional tolerance. Likely the fitment issues are related to slight over extrusion and/or untuned pressure advance. Those calibrations may improve your fitment issues!
Thanks for posting your make, I really like that color! (edited)
@TheParanoidEn_917266 I'd recommend adding a 1 layer height thick layer, likely ~0.2mm to the bottom of each of the floating holes to allow them to be bridged and printed without support or sagging. This would be a sacrificial layer easily punched through by the bolt or removed with any other tool.
For anyone else reading this you could also do this manually in prusa/bambu/orcaslicer fairly easily with right click, Add Primitive -> Disc and moving it up/shrinking it horizontally to fit. (edited)
Printed 10 of these. No supports were needed, some of the prints were smaller than others, so I had to use a soldering iron to heat press the nuts into place. This isnt a fault of the design, more a filament fault. Otherwise fits perfectly.
