The models were repaired and checked for printability.
These are the files for the Reddit Upvote/Downvote Button Enclosure I built to
...Show more fit a project I was working on.
This is just barely big enough to fit a Teensy development board and a couple of buttons.
New Museum Challenge Notes:
The ability to 3D model and print the enclosure and buttons for this project allowed me to make design decisions that would not have been possible using conventional methods. The arrow buttons for example, are not available through any distributor I could find commercially. Additionally the enclosure itself is the exact size (down to the millimeter) to fit my electronics. I believe the conventional idea of using off the shelf parts and fitting your designs into them is coming to an end. The ability to translate my vision for this project to a physical object would not be possible without access to a 3D printer.
1. Print top, bottom and arrows. Arrows can be printed in white and colored or printed in complimentary colors.
2. Program Teensy development board
3. Cram everything into the box
4. Seal with hot glue
5. Upvote!
