\*: There's barely any parts of the case that are thick enough to require
infill, so don't stress about this much.

### Alternative Case Option

![3D render of the alternative case](./images/alt-case-render.jpg)

You can find an alternative version of the case design, meant for the button based PCB, labeled as "BTL Edit" in the case directory.
It incorporates the button into the top part, eliminating the need to print that tiny part separately.

I somehow got 804040 with 1800mAh, which are in fact 8.6mm thick and should
therefore be labeled 864040... My case variation takes care of that.

The tops have been made 0.8mm thicker and extended above the shell of the bottom,
so you do not accidentely push them in too far. Its also easier to reopen the case.
For the cute look I added the SlimeVR logo.

The bottom part got size adjusted for the use of my thicker batteries. Its fine to reduce the
bottoms height by 0.5mm in your slicer for a standard 804040 battery.

I added a small notch to keep the PCB snapped into place when its placed down to the battery.

Optional: Support for AUX connector "BTL Edition"
For using AUX connectors I use 2.54mm spaced pins and headers I got with the
ESP32. Print `aux-connector.stl` for the little plug case.

Make sure to make them keyed:

#### Printing

Same printing advice as with the original case. For the AUX connector and the
Tops, i suggest 0.15mm layers because of the tiny details in the overhangs.

The Bottoms and Tops are available as AUX version and normal.

If you go for a Tiny Slime without AUX, but maybe want to add AUX later,
use an AUX Version for bottom and a AUX prepared top. This top closes the
gap for AUX connector but keeps you from having to change the bottom again later.

The Bottoms SET uses two non-AUX trackers for the thigh tracker and five AUX versions
for Chest + Hip, Ankles + Feets and Arms.

I for example do use trackers for the arms (but no AUX-es for now), a chest Tracker
with an AUX for my hip and a pair of ankle trackers with AUX for feet.

I needed 2 AUX prepared tops, 3 AUX tops, 2 non AUX tops.

If you have questions regarding the alternative case with my AUX connector proposal, run
into a problem or want to suggest another modification, contact me on Discord @beetle060 .

#### Assembly
