Poastmote 3: Designed for the HoytPuck 2

Hi all. So a while back a bunch of people I regularly ride with wanted a poastmote shell that would fit the HoytPuck 2, so after borrowing a puck 2 and drinking too much, I decided to take a crack at it.

Quickly realized the overall shape of the PCB isn’t symmetrical like the puck 1, made things a bit more annoying (puck 1 on the left for comparison).

Using the STL’s for the 2poast2mote as a base, I reverse engineered an editable file in AutoCAD fusion, then made the necessary edits to fit the updated PCB.

Since the model was a not-so direct conversion from a STL file, there were some limits to what I could edit without fusion having a stroke (thankfully autosave and crash recovery exists).

I’ll be the first to admit that the model isn’t perfect (I was wasted for about 80% of it) but the end result works well enough. There were all printed with PLA .

Shoutout to @stan_he for lending me a puck 2 to model off of / giving feedback for the prototype and of course @poastoast for the 2poast2mote STL’s.

3poast3mote Front.stl (1.9 MB)

3poast3mote Rear.stl (1.4 MB)

Also lmk if there are any issues with the STL’s when printing. It was designed to work with my printer, which is admittedly pretty ass ( its literally some no name printer I got for free).

is a poastmote still a poastmote without the poastoast? :thinking:

As long as Poast give the stamp of approval.

This is awesome! Myself and a few others have been using these and they are great. We have a few minor changes we wanted to make, is there any chance you would be able to share the parametric files (if they exist)? Or is this just a really, really impressive mesh edit?

Did the case shrink or the board grow :sweat_smile: those stls must be the 2

Yea those are the stl’s for the puck 1, the ones I redesigned have four holes for the front and overall is a bit wider. I’ll double check the files just in case.

Srry for the late reply, yea this was just a mesh edit. I attempted parametric edits but fusion didn’t like that too much with the amount of tris in the file. What changes did you have in mind?

Anyone has the file for the PoastPuck 2? Unless the original file posted is correct now.

The file is correct, my print guy had issues pulling files from the forum and printed me that case from an og one without realising they were different.

Just printed the posted file out of PA-GF. The file is perfect except for the fact the tolerances I can get on the filament make it a tight fit. But with any normal person filament it’ll work fantastic.

Did you had any issues with voids in the file? My friend saw some weird voids when he tried to print it. @SkilHasnoName any ideas?


Yeah I had some issues with the one on the front face. Just figured it printed weird but I guess it’s the file.

It’s the file due to how he modified the Poastmote. But my friend showed a test print and it looks good enough that I’m not worry about it.

yea those voids definitely shouldn’t be there, I’ll doublecheck the file. thx for letting me know
