I just finished the design of a cover for the uConsole. The STL file is posted on the Discord 3d-printing channel. Seems to work well. I did the design in OpenScad, will share that file if anyone wants to make adjustments to it.
It is just under 8 hour print with my settings and doesn’t need supports.
Nice! This is the exact kind of thing i was hoping someone would make. I have always been a fan of the clip-on style hard covers like the TI calculators use and this would be perfect for protecting the uConsole while in my backpack.
Someone else made a cover for the DevTerm, that works well. I wanted one for the uConsole and finally managed to get it together.
It would be awesome if you could post the OpenSCAD source files! Since someone brought up TI calculators: does it have a mechanism to clip to the back when device is in use?
I have the Ops Shield for the DevTerm - love it - it fits more like an early cell phone case - protects the fragile edges from getting broke should you drop it - it has lanyard tie points as well - 3d printing is a hobbyist dream! I used to make things out of cardboard and fiberglass resin … I still do!
Here is the OpenScad file to generate the cover. It really isn’t that big of a file.

For those that haven’t used OpenScad, it is free and works on many different machines.
Here is the STL file
Cool, thanks a lot! Nice and compact code actually.
I will just quickly copy-paste it down here so it may be more convenient to grab for other users:

Someone sell me a black one please i will review it and give full credits 
Are you in the us?
Extra characters…
Hi i am from the UK jutleys you can search us RGHANDHELDS
ahhh, that’s too far to ship. 
Hopefully someone in uk with a 3d printer can do it soon.
If you do print the cover I designed, let me know how it worked. If you made changes to the OpenScad file, I would like to see images of that also. Fun to see what people do with this stuff.
Added this to the Code:
module pattern() {
translate([10,10,0]){
for(y=[0:10:179-20]){
for(x=[0:10:136-20]){
translate([x,y,0]){
cube([5,5,10]);
}
}
}
}
}
// intersection(){
difference(){
cover();
pattern();
}
At first I was like how did that happen. That is neat, send a photo of it when done. Thought about adding optional pieces on the side to cover the ports.
I kept the overhang angles at about 45, mine came out nice. Just used PLA. It gives me ideas for other hole patterns. Maybe a hex grid.
Sure, you can make anything here. not only cubes. Go wild! :-))
