3D Printable Protective Case for VoltLink CP2102N
Community-designed 3D printable enclosure for the VoltLink CP2102N USB serial adapter, featuring access for USB-C and pin headers, secured with M2.5 screws that double as feet.
A community member (GrodanB on Thingiverse) designed a compact 3D printable protective case for the VoltLink CP2102N USB serial adapter. The case protects the exposed PCB during use while maintaining full access to all connectors.
Design Features
- Full connector access — openings for USB-C port and pin header connections
- Generous header opening — sized to fit standard 6-pin DuPont connectors without removal
- Screw-secured assembly — uses M2.5 x 12mm screws (M2.5 x 11mm also works) that thread through the VoltLink's corner mounting holes
- Built-in feet — the protruding screw heads act as standoffs, keeping the board elevated from the work surface
Printing Notes
- May require minor post-processing depending on your printer's dimensional accuracy
- Standard FDM printing with no supports needed
- The designer recommends checking screw fit before final assembly
Additional Case Options
A second community case design exists for the VoltLink Rev E on Printables, using M2 x 6mm screws that thread directly into the plastic.
