The challenge
Our Einstar Rockit gets regular use in the workshop. Its smooth body can be awkward to grip during longer scans, and we wanted some protection from everyday bumps and scratches. We could not find a suitable case, so we decided to make one.
What we did
We scanned the Rockit with our Creality Scan Otter and used the scan as a reference in FreeCAD. The case follows the scanner body while leaving the optical windows, buttons, vent and port clear.
3D scan
We used our existing Creality Scan Otter to 3D scan the new Einstar Rockit to be used as a reference in the case design.
CAD model
The scan helped us design a fitted shell with extra grip and protection from minor workshop bumps.
We added finger grips to make the scanner easier to hold. The case prints as a single shell in flexible 95A TPU. A small cutout in the middle lets the shell flex over the scanner for a snug fit.
The result
The case makes the Rockit more comfortable to hold and helps protect its body from minor bumps and scratches. It is not a drop-proof case and should not be relied on to protect the scanner from a hard fall.
This project used 3D scanning, CAD design and FDM printing to make an accessory for an existing tool.
The design is also available for other Rockit owners to download. Please view the Cults3D listing here: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/tool/einstar-rockit-protective-tpu-case
