The Foenix may be purchased as a bare board or packaged in a 3D printed enclosure; see: https://c256foenix.com/

Printing your own Enclosure

You may also print your own; the official STL files are here:

In order to complete the enclosure, you will need inserts for plastic, M3/M2. You will need screws, and some Lexan cut out to complete the windows

Screws

The standard case uses the following screws:
