BETTER WITH ENCLOSURE

The days pass quickly and the project is moving forward. Before the development on the algorithmic part is finished we are working on an enclosure we can attach to our tests platforms. 

A case is not only an attachment help for the final device, it will also help us to use the sensor without fear of shorting something out or breaking a connector. The design is extremely simple, two plastic covers with the PCB in the middle. An extra piece will hold the battery in place.

The design was done on Onshape and is already available. We are planning to improve the case and get rid off the screws, but will work on that once everything is up and running. Right now we have other priorities to focus on. 

As you can see the design of one of the lids is extreamly easy, lets print them!

The pieces need almos no post-processing after comming out of the 3D printer.

And they still work!
