Re: 3d printable enclosures?

Thanks! Where are you measuring X0/Y0 from?
Have to wait until I get my Bitx40 before I can decide, so I can measure the LCD and figure out where I want the controls (I might go for a front-firing speaker, as well, if you can do a pattern of small holes, or slots!). If you already have a Bitx40 with the Raduino, maybe you could make the front/back panels to your tastes and put it on Thingiverse; it might make a good start for others as well.

You can also do the same with the back
panel.? On both, I'll assume that 'lower left' means as looking at
the front of the case for the front panel, and looking at the back
of the case for the back panel.

If you can let me know where,
type and size of the holes you need in the panel, I'll
build a printable (.stl) file for you that matches.? If
you'll respond with something like:
round hole, d1 mm diameter, center at x, y
rectangular hole x1 mm long by y1 mm high at x, y (lower
left corner of hole)
Repeat the above for as many holes as you need, remember
all dimensions are in millimeters (if you want to use
inches, just let me know and I'll convert).? All
measurements will be taken from the lower left corner of
the panel.

I have
had OpenScad on my computer since I built my 3D
printer 3 years ago (it was part of the software
download package for the printer), and I never could
make heads or tails of it. It's not very "user
friendly", in my opinion.

There
is a piece of software called
OpenScad that is free.? With it,
you can import a .STL file
(which is what is usually
provided on Thingiverse), you
can then 'subtract' cylinders
(to make round holes) and cubes
(to make rectangular holes).?
Then from that produce a new
.STL file, run it through your
favorite slicer program, then
print it.

Out
of curiosity, does
anyone on this group
play around with CAD
software? I found a 3D
printable box on
Thingiverse ( ) that was
sized for the Bitx40
board, but it has plain,
un-drilled front and
back panels. Maybe
someone here who knows
how to use CAD software
could design a 3D
printable enclosure that
has a panel that has
openings to accommodate
the Raduino display,
antenna connector, and
other controls/jacks?
I'd do it, but I don't
know how to use CAD
software...
