Alternative ways to build a development board enclosure? (sh.itjust.works)

I've been working on a development board for a while now. To finalize the product, some people recommend printing a case (I don't have a 3D printer). Do you have any other suggestions (the most fun ones are also welcome), or should I invest in this type of machine?

Please give me as many practical ideas as possible, I'll make my selection later.

Before you invest in a 3d printer, check your local public libraries! A lottttt of them have 3d printers these days

Local libraries can sometimes have 3D printers.

Damn, that's a cool board.

You can order 3D prints online, check a local supplier for less environmental impact.

Or you can buy a Bambu Labs A1 mini, cheapest and easiest printer IMO.

Please don’t recommend bambu labs printers. They are destroying the open source community.

An equivalent printer would be the Prusa Mini.

[–] helix@feddit.org 2 points 2 weeks ago

OK, but it works and it's cheap.

And you can use it with FOSS.

Thank you for the recommendation!
