Summary

This is a remix of Pimoroni Badger 2040 Case by usedbytes. This remix requires no supports and uses magnets instead of screws.

For the model with batteries, you will need the following:

  • 2 small straightened paperclips
  • 3 CR2032 batteries
  • 8 6x2 mini magnets (these are what I used)
  • 1 JST-PH connector cable

For the model without batteries, you will need the following:

The magnets just get glued on (I used clear gorilla glue). The straightened paperclips are used for the contacts for the batteries. Insert one paperclip through the bottom holes in the rings, insert the batteries, then insert the second paperclip through the top holes in the rings. This will hold the batteries in place. Then connect the JSP PH connector cable to the ends of the paperclips. I soldered them, but there might be other ways to do it.

Note: For the batteries, I flipped two of the batteries over to make sure the "lid" gets put on the correct direction as the batteries will push against each other if the lid is turned the wrong way. Also, I will try and get a fully assembled picture added. I do not have the Badger 2040 in hand at the moment, but wanted to go ahead and get this posted.

Update: When adding the magnets on the bottom piece, only use 2 magnets and do not put any on the end with the USB-C port. The magnet is too big to fit next to the components on the board. I would leave the one on the top piece in that position just so it looks right.

Update: Added stl's for M2 screws since the magnets couldn't be fully used.
