Today I was in the mood (actually rained all day sooooo...) and I designed a case prototype for the YamPAD. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that good....
I started by importing the Edge Cut layer of the PCB in Fusion by exporting it in .svg. Once I realized I was looking at a 5 feet long keyboard I switched to the .dxf format. Then I exported the switches and Pro Micro positions to make the holes for them.I'm still a noob with my CNC but I try to use it as much as I can. Unfortunately I forgot to film it while it was working... Next time I'll post some CNC action I promise!Turns out the switches don't fit, the screws don't fit, the Pro Micro didn't fit until I opened the top but hey, everything else fits like a glove :D
I need to do some minor adjustment to the design and get the tolerances right.
I'm also thinking about changing the width of the case... It looks too bulky and I don't think the proportions are right. We'll see...
