This is a 3D-printed case for the Sweep 2.x by @davidphilipbarr, intended to be printed in a soft TPU. It features cutouts for the switch pins and solder joints so the board can sit completely flush.

The case was built around the Sweep 2.1 specifically, but it may also fit the Sweep 2.

I designed this case to help it sit flush afterwards. […] It's printed in a soft flexible rubber so it also acts as a bit of a cushion – Knifa.
