Robotics engineer Ken Pillonel, who previously designed a repairable USB-C case for AirPods Pro, has now created a fully clear version of the case.

Just a fun project where I aim to create a fully transparent Apple AirPods Pro Gen 1 case. I already had clear resin to print on my SLA 3D printer that were perfect for this modification. The files were also already available from my previous mod in my "I stole the AirPods design" video. Of course, I also had to add my USB-C port hack. Definitely a lot of strange parts involved, but I managed to make it work ;)

While Apple hasn't released AirPods Pro in any color varieties, the company has released its new Beats Studio Buds+ with transparent earbuds and a transparent case.
