3D model description

After I printed Andrew Bougie's mini-SNES case (http://www.thingiverse.com/make:317958) for my Raspberry Pi 3, I decided that I wanted to add a status LED to show when the system was running. However, the hole in the case is ~3 mm, and I only had 5 mm LEDs.

I created this thing to align and hold a 5 mm LED in place behind the existing hole. I just epoxied the part to the bottom corner as shown in the Fusion 360 diagram. Once it was set, I inserted the LED, which stays in place via friction.

The front wall of the upper half of the case is thicker at the bottom for some reason (improved bed adhesion, perhaps). This creates a very strange backward slope on the interior front wall as it moves downward. Since the LED holder complements that slope, the top of the holder is thicker than the middle, which makes the case a little more fiddly to put together. As the cover photo demonstrates, however, it does work. I believe the easiest method is to slide the top half of the case onto the LED holder on from the front and slightly tilted. I may eventually change this part so the case fits a little looser on top.
