In this project, we’re making a slim case for the Adafruit CLUE ‎development/educational board.‎

It features a removable bottom piece so you can access the edge ‎connector.‎

Edge Connector

With the bottom piece removed you can connect alligator clips to ‎the edge connector!‎

Snap Fit Edge Cover

The case is 3D printed using PLA and doesn’t require any support ‎material.‎

The case snap fits together and doesn’t need any hardware screws ‎to secure the board.‎

This makes connecting other boards like the STEMMA Speaker much ‎more plug and play.‎

Ports

You can use the JST port to plug in an external Lipo battery for those ‎portable projects.‎

You also have access to the USB port and STEMMA port so you can ‎reprogram and easily connect more sensors.‎
