awtrix-case

The current status of the project is work in progress - No prototype was built, no precise measurement was done. It is still in the beginning, but I keep you updated. Check out the roadmap!

Motivation

Once upon a time I found this cool project called Awtrix by blueforcer, fell in love with it instantly, started buying parts and solder them together. The first plan was to 3D-print the chassis like it's mentioned in the documentation, but then the slicing program told me the biggest piece takes 20 hours to print... A guy in the makerspace I am building this thing said to me "Why do you want to waste mineral oil in plastic form if you can build your box with wood? We have a laser cutter btw." And I thought why not!

The plan

The plan is pretty simple: Cut multiple layers of 4mm wooden sheets, stack and combine them with glue, nuts and bolts. In the end you should have a nice clean wooden front and back and marbled sides because of the edges of the wooden pieces. The last step would be sandpaper and a nice varnish to finish things off - Everybody can print things!

The images/schematics can be found in the directory /svg.

Roadmap

  • 📝 Draw/generate the svg files
  • 🎛 Cut the first parts and tweak the parameters if needed
  • 🛠 Build the first prototype
  • 🖼 Upload fotos of the make
  • 📔 Create a nice documentation
