CAD for the case #13

Open rrbutani opened 5 years ago

rrbutani commented 5 years ago

This is a lot for a single issue.

It's hard to make a comprehensive list so far out, but here's a quick brain dump of the things I can think of now. This is split into the top and bottom parts.

Bottom:

[ ] spots for the magnets (need to wait for #14)
[ ] lip for the PCB
[ ] side hole (left?) for the LED
[ ] groove for the battery
[ ] notches for the headphone jack, USB connector, and microSD card slot

Top:

[ ] matching magnets spots
[ ] aligned cutout for the display + lips for the plastic housing
[ ] aligned cutout for the clickwheel PCB + nubs for the holes
[ ] slightly smaller inner diameter on the acrylic wheel for support for the inner button
[ ] inner button piece; aligned to the acrylic wheel's inner diameter + with a lip aligned to the PCB's inner diameter

Misc:

[ ] export the board files as CAD
[ ] touch up the Eagle parts we're using; add CAD where possible
[ ] rounded corners, a chamfer
[ ] pattern on the bottom?
[ ] labels, logos, writing on the bottom?
[ ] a texture, bumpy style?

Need to decide exactly where the top and the bottom are split relative to the device's depth.

Splitting them at the top of the bottom PCB makes sense but might look odd since that makes the split roughly 10mm/6mm (bottom/top respectively).
