I've been meaning to add a multicolor version of my remix of JPerson's (@Thingiverse) perfectly fitting USB to FTDI Adapter Case. I remixed it years back to add some additional text for the header pins, but at the time I didn't print much multicolor so it was just a 2 color version. This update adds a multicolor profile, but it is otherwise the same.
You can find the remix over on Printables or MakerWorld:

The FTDI adapter can be found over on Amazon or AliExpress. This adapter uses a genuine FT232 chipset so there shouldn't be any driver issues (hopefully). But more importantly, it has a switch for 5v or 3.3v logic levels. Many adapters skimp on this simple feature, and use a jumper to change the logic voltage, instead of a switch. A switch makes it handy for flashing ESP32's (3.3v) or Arduinos (5v). This adapter also has LEDs for power, TX and RX, which are visible though the case as well.
