Skinny Chameleon - Resin Case

Features

This is a 3D printed (SLA) resin case in Matt White with a satin finish. It is lightly sanded to remove printing artifacts and smooth out the edges. Being a printed, hand finished product it will undoubtedly have minor variances in the surface and small blemishes, but no major imperfections. Please be aware that this is NOT a 100% uniform finish like a CNC machined or sandblast finished case.

It is printed from a slightly modified OLKB Hi-Pro case design, and is meant to fit mainly the Skinny Chameleon & BLE Chameleon (reset/boot buttons), but will also fit an original OLKB Preonic or Plank PCB. It can use an original Hi-Pro Alumium front plate, or the gloss white FR4 plate that can be purchased as an extra option.

The choice in making the case matt white makes it a good neutral color that produces good printing results without color variations, and with a decent light bleed if you decide to use the RGB Glow of the Skinny Chameleon. It's also well suitable to the BLE Chameleon, being a non-metalic case, and as such not interfering with the signal. (In this case you should ideally NOT use an aluminium top plate).

Main Features:

  • Matt White, Satin finish.
  • Sanded smooth with no burrs or major inperfections.
  • 3D printed in Resin (SLA) with high quality resin (Series 9600 resin).
  • Temperature stable up to 59°C.
  • Medium UV-stable, to avoid yellowing over time, it would need to be coated in a fully UV protective clear-coating.
  • Incorporates easy access to Reset/BOOT buttons
    • Hole for the original OLKB Plank/Preonic PCB's
    • Holes for the Skinny Chameleon & BLE Chameleon.
  • Dimensions & Weight:
    • Preonic / 5x12: 237 x 104 x 18 mm ~150g
    • Planck / 4x12: 237 x 85 x 18 mm ~95g

Delivered parts:

  • Case - 1 Pcs
  • Stainless M2 x 6mm countersunk (Planck 6 pcs, Preonic 5 pcs)

Optional add-on:

  • Front Plate in Gloss White
  • FR4 material with no copper layer (Making this plate suitable for wireless PCB's).
  • Break-away part for (4x12) Planck layout. (Delivered sized to fit the choosen case type/size).

Please note that having a plate is highly recommended with socketed switches. Without one, switches tend to wobble, and/or get dislodged from normal use. You can obviously source another plate in a material or color more to your liking, but going plate-less is not recommended.
