3D print enclosure? #18

Hi! Any chance anyone has any blueprints for some enclosure? I have bought Pi Pico and 128*32 display and now I was thinking about how to put it together. I have ordered also some small plastic enclosure (Zonepi case, but it seems local) that fits more or less exactly the Pi itself.

Now, because the Pi has MicroUSB input, and in the reality, you will be testing rather USB-Cs (e.g. plug it to a mall phone charger, etc.), you will need a reduction. Then, there is this thing with adding the USB-A for passthrough testing, and then there is this thing with the OLED display.

I was already thinking around, how to put it together and it seems like it will be quite janky.

What I am looking for:
Enclosure that will fit the Pi itself and fully cover/protect it, will have hole for micro, will have hole for USB-A, will have proper place for display, that should be aligned with the box surface, and it should have some clips/compartment that will hold micro(m)->C(f) and A(m)->C(f) if you will need to switch between interfaces on-the-go. Of course, this enclosure must have enough space to put all the wiring inside, so it is actually a compact box over all.

Unfortunately, I do not have 3D printer, nor any experience with 3D modelling ...

So, anyone any ideas?

Unfortunately I have very limited modelling capabilities as well, so the only thing I can do here is to forward the request to the community: if anyone want to contribute with something like this, it will be more than welcome :-)

That's why I am asking here, but if you would be willing to ask, on twitter, or other social media of yours, and then include the blueprints to this repo somehow, considering somebody will make anything, that would be totally amazing! Thank you!

I found this that I plan to print once I put everything together and make sure it works. Maybe this will work for you.

Edited to add: Check your local university and community colleges. I am having the brace/spacer printed there. I am a current student but while going through the website to submit the order, they have a check mark for whether you are a student, faculty or not. If not, they will still print it for you but you have a lower priority. I would also assume they would require you to pay before printing then as well. I'm getting 5 of the spacers made for a total of $1.01. I'll be using them for printing the enclosure I linked, later on.
