# A case for your C5 field kit.

> Print a home for one, two or three XIAO ESP32-C5 boards and their sticker antennas. Regular and MagSafe versions, photographed assembly, and downloadable 3MF projects.

<p class="lead">The pictured build holds three boards in a single translucent enclosure. Each board keeps its own antenna and USB-C connection, with button access and visible LEDs through the cap.</p>
<p class="caption">Print-file revision: September 10, 2026. The featured download is the three-board MagSafe base and cap in one PETG project.</p>

<p>The regular case has a solid antenna bay. MagSafe versions add a pocket for a magnet ring and a larger footprint. Use a matching base and cap from the same size, family and revision.</p>
<p><strong>Paired PETG projects</strong> contain both pieces and Bambu Studio settings. <strong>Individual parts</strong> contain geometry only. For boards with pre-soldered header pins, substitute the matching base with through-holes.</p>

<p>The five paired projects target a <strong>Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, 0.4 mm nozzle, textured PEI plate and PETG Basic</strong>. Check those choices against your printer and filament before slicing. The downloads are 3MF project or model files, not ready-to-run G-code.</p>

<p>Print the base floor-down and the cap top-face-down, as exported. The regular three-board variant has separate base and cap files; this release does not include a paired PETG project for that variant.</p>
<p>Existing geometry and slicer checks do not confirm the fit of every physical combination. Check the coupon, then test your assembled case for cable clearance, snap fit and button movement.</p>

<p class="eyebrow">03 / Put it together</p>
<h2 id="assembly-heading">Keep the cables and controls clear.</h2>
<ol class="case-steps">
<li><strong>Dry-fit the antennas.</strong> Position the sticker antennas and cable loops around the visible support pillars before peeling the adhesive. Keep antenna film and cables off the tops of the pillars.</li>
<li><strong>Seat each XIAO.</strong> Route its antenna cable through the open channel, attach the antenna connector and place the board USB-C first. Confirm that a cable can seat fully.</li>
<li><strong>Use the matching cap.</strong> This revision pairs base pillars with short lid contact pads. Print both halves together; an older cap with long feet can collide with the pillars.</li>
<li><strong>Check the buttons.</strong> BOOT and RESET should move independently and return freely. Squeezing the closed case across the centre or cable area should not press either button.</li>
<li><strong>Power and connect.</strong> Flash each board with the <a href="/sensors/esp32-c5/flash/">ESP32-C5 installer</a>, supply USB power to each board, and connect the sensors from WLAN Commander. See the <a href="/guides/connecting-sensors/">connection guide</a> for the app workflow.</li>
