It is a 3D printable part ([attachment:"Small NUC Case Ext v2.stl" STL file]). Best results have been achieved using either ABS or HIPS filament.26 The "add-on" case extension to the small version contains the B205mini-i USRP and CM3. It is a 3D printable part ([attachment:"Small NUC Case Ext v2.stl" STL file]) compatible with the "short" and "tall" (2.5" drive capable) versions of the 4x4 inch NUC platform. Best 3D print results have been achieved using either ABS or HIPS filament. SMA connections are provided on the outside of the case for the USRP's TX/RX, RX2, and a 10MHz or PPS time reference. 23 27 24 28 ===== Battery Operation ===== 25 29 26 Second extension enables car deployment and graceful shutdown.
