Camera Protective Cases (Mevo Start + BirdDog MAKI Live)

Parametric, 3D-printable protective case design workspace for two cameras:

• Mevo Start
• BirdDog MAKI Live

All geometry generation is built with build123d (OpenCascade B-REP) and exported as STEP for clean, smooth CAD surfaces.

Goals

• Tight-fitting protective sleeves for outdoor sports production
• Impact resistance (volleyball strike scenarios)
• Heat/sun durable outer shell (ASA-focused)
• Optional TPU inner shock/fit components
• Precise cutout alignment with device features and ports

Repository Structure

• scripts/: parametric generators for sleeves, liners, and caps
• models/mevo_case/: generated Mevo STEP outputs
• models/mevo_case/reports/: generated Mevo JSON reports
• models/maki_case/: generated MAKI STEP outputs
• models/maki_case/reports/: generated MAKI JSON reports
• refs/: source reference CAD/STL/PDF assets used for extraction and alignment
• README_MEVO_CASE.md: Mevo-specific generator details
• README_MAKI_CASE.md: MAKI-specific generator details
• CHANGELOG.md: project changelog and current status

Core Scripts

• scripts/generate_mevo_case.py
• scripts/generate_mevo_start_caps.py
• scripts/generate_mevo_start_tpu_liner.py
• scripts/generate_mevo_dual_material_case.py
• scripts/generate_maki_live_case.py
• scripts/generate_maki_live_tpu_liner.py
• scripts/generate_maki_live_dual_material_body.py
• scripts/generate_maki_live_caps.py

Current Outputs

Key generated outputs are in models/, including:

• Mevo dual-material body (TPU_Sleeve + ASA_Shell) + dual-material back cap (ASA_Back_Cap + TPU_Back_Gasket)
• MAKI ASA sleeve + front/rear caps + TPU sleeve + combined dual-material body (TPU_Sleeve + ASA_Shell)
• JSON reports for extracted/applied features and dimensions

Regeneration

python scripts/generate_mevo_case.py
python scripts/generate_mevo_start_caps.py --profile asa

Legacy optional command (not part of current Mevo TPU path):

python scripts/generate_mevo_start_caps.py --profile tpu

Notes

• STEP-only workflow is used for production models.
• Temporary meshes/renders are excluded from version control.
• Output rollover policy:
  • each generator archives existing outputs into models/mevo_case/archive/ or models/maki_case/archive/ before writing new files,
  • top-level case folders keep only latest STEP outputs while JSON reports live under each case's reports/ subfolder.
• See CHANGELOG.md for latest engineering status and open alignment tasks.
