Important note on V4/V3
The revision 4 of the skeletyl introduces drastic changes with the bottom plate. It reuses the positioning of the screws of the Charybdis Nano, so that the Organic tent can be re-used. It also uses new voronoi-style plates.
When choosing a model to print, be mindful of the version you choose. The files in the V3 folder are not compatible with the V4 case and alien tents. Unless you want to use one of the V3 mods, we recommend using the latest version V4.
Print files and instructions
The STL files are included in this Github repository, in the V4 folder.
Please find detailed instructions on how to print the case on the online instructions linked below.
| Description | File | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Right case | V4/case_v4_vXY.stl | XY version will vary |
| Left case | Mirror the right case in your slicer | |
| Right plate** | V4/plates/plate_v4_vXY.stl | XY version will vary |
| Left plate | Mirror the right case in your slicer | |

*If you are printing tents, there are multiple ones available for the Charybdis Nano, and only the Alien version is compatible with the Skeletyl V4. There are 30, 15 and 5 degrees versions available.
**There is also a DXF file included, if you want to laser-cut plates. See also the magsafe mod in the mods folder.
