I have been working on an enclosure for [BlinkStick Strip](https://www.blinkstick.com/products/blinkstick-strip). My main goals were to make it very compact, 3D printable and use exactly 0 screws. I think I managed to achieve it only with 2 iterations. Here is how it looks like: ![](https://forums.blinkstick.com/uploads/default/66/64af350913c931b9.jpg) ![](https://forums.blinkstick.com/uploads/default/69/4f1f1601d56a7eb0.jpg) ![](https://forums.blinkstick.com/uploads/default/68/cbe5a8e9fa8ec3ac.jpg) It currently needs only a few very minor tweaks and I’ll post an update when the enclosure is ready to order with [BlinkStick Strip](https://www.blinkstick.com/products/blinkstick-strip). As long as it’s still in prototyping stage, the enclosure will be free with an order of BlinkStick Strip for anybody who would like to receive one 😄. ---

Amazing! Just when I was thinking about ordering a strip as well! 😄 Do I just mention in “Additional comments” that I’d like to receive an enclosure when buying through the web-shop? Are you also thinking of similar enclosure for a regular BlinkStick? ---

Yep, just add a coment in the checkout. Not sure about the enclosure for the original BlinkStick yet. Any enclosure makes it quite huge 😃 ---

I am just thinking about using BlinkStick as apart of a final product. Target audience is software dev teams (BlinkStick would basically notify when something goes bad/good), so being super-pretty isn’t important, but just hiding the electronics would be nice. Sure, maybe just enclosing the current board could be not easily possible. ---

I have made a custom PCB and attached it on a WS2812 module. Also I printed an enclosure like yours and it looks like a blinkstick strip.

@ioakar0 that looks amazing! Thanks for sharing! Did you hand solder the micro USB? I suppose it was insanely difficult! 😨 ---

Yes, the PCB is home made. It was not very difficult actually. The only difficulty I had was a bad copper trace on the PCB connecting the ws2812 module with GND. I fixed it with a jumper (the one crossing the attiny) [Next page](https://forums.blinkstick.com/t/enclosure-for-blinkstick-strip/119.md?page=2)
