Added travel case files to the Brain repo 🎉✈

I just added some travel case 3d print files to the Brain repository 😊 please jump over to Github and check it out!

The case is printed in two parts with no supports and 8 embedded magnets which makes them snap together in an utterly satisfying way 🤤

This looks awesome! How did you embed the magnets? It seems like there are no holes...

And does the keyboard rattle around inside? Or is it a pretty tight fit?

The design is split into two parts and are connected with print-in-place magnets. Meaning that the print is paused at a certain height and the magnets are inserted into the print. The print is then resumed and the magnets are encased in the print.

Thanks @Gumshoe@lemmy.world 😊 it's a pretty tight fit with no rattling around @Kimcha87@lemmy.world 😊
