Process + Procedure

The most difficult part of the design process was designing the compartments to the correct specification. The compartment for the device had to be of the right dimensions, and it had to have necessary recesses for the coaxial port on the back, and the bass boost switch and volume knob on the front.

Once that was done, the next most difficult part was designing the sliding top piece. I decided to laser cut a piece of acrylic for the top after failing to properly design and hinge and latch. While the sliding top piece wasn't as difficult to design, it still took some thought. Only after manufacturing the part did I realize that my solution was definitely not the best--more on that later.

All sketching and modeling was done using Autodesk Fusion 360, and then the resulting .stl file was uploaded to NVBots for slicing and eventual manufacturing.
