3D printed cuvette holder and enclosure

3D printed cuvette holder and enclosure

Design methods

We have been using FreeCAD for 3D hardware designs as described in this previous Newsletter. In this project we used the KiCad StepUp workbench to import a 3D model of the Sensor and LED PCBs from KiCad and the A2plus Workbench to create an assembly of the complete enclosure. We also used a 3D model of the PyBadge made available at Adafruit CAD Parts on github.

Features

  • Material: 3D printed black plastic
  • Cuvette Holder Dimensions: 54 mm (length) x 32 mm (width) x 43.5 mm (height)
  • Recessed circular space for a light-blocking cover
  • Recessed mounts on either side with tapped M2.5 threads (for mounting the LED and light sensor boards)
  • Base flange with 4 mount holes for (optionally) mounting to the enclosure part
