This one snaps onto the Picocalc in reverse, like a graphing calculator. I had a long trip coming up and wanted something that I wouldn’t have to set down while on a plane or bus.

I was looking at the slots on the chassis wondering what’s it for. I thought for cradle, joypad addon etc. but none makes a lot of sense.
Until I see this

Greetings @yatli ,
I printed your cover. Very Nice.
I had to remove the rubber feet I had installed on mine. Maybe a mod to your design to accommodate that.
Keep up the good work.
How far out do the rubber feet stick from the bottom of the case? I didn’t put them on mine but it would be an easy fix.
Sorry about the late response.
The feet I use - emphasis on I - are about 10mm square and 2.5mm thick. That makes them about .5mm to 1mm higher than the ‘built-in’ feet of the PicoCalc.
I have some other rubber feet that are about 12mm square and 3mm thick.
I have some round ones that are just WAY too thick to use but might be appealing to some (they can be carved out to fit over the built-in feet).
So, you see the dilemma is finding a “Happy Ground” to accommodate the various available feet.
AND I don’t think it’s just an appropriately sized notch. It’s also a track for them to slide in.
Using the smaller pads, I cut a notch in the cover for easier install but, the feet still rub against the cover. One even peeled off the PicoCalc. If you increase the depth of the cover it might impact the stability of the cover/PicoCalc.
FYI, I used an Ender 3 V3SE with Ender Fast PLA to make mine. The print came out really well and I still use it to protect the PicoCalc when not in use (which is most of the time due to the bad power switch - new motherboard on the way) and is not a failure by any means. I just don’t store the cover on the back of the PicoCalc - which negates the need for the rubber feet if I do. I suppose I could just put the feet on the cover and not worry about it.
Anyway, you did a great job with the cover and hope you come up with more accessories.
