Today I wanted to share a first look at the SigCore UC enclosure mockup.

This version finally starts to feel like the real thing. I’ve moved beyond raw boards and test leads and into something that looks and behaves like a finished product.

What You’re Looking At

• Professionally printed ABS panel for a polished, durable front face

• Custom printed 3D enclosure for a clean, compact, and ergonomic impact

• Clearly labeled terminal blocks for:

  • Relay outputs

  • Digital inputs

  • Analog inputs and outputs

  • Ground and 5VDC buses

The layout is designed for clarity and ease of installation. Everything is grouped logically, with labels positioned for quick reference during wiring and debugging.

Design Goals

The enclosure design is about more than just aesthetics. My goals:

• Professional appearance that reflects the capabilities of the hardware

• Clear labeling and layout to reduce setup time and prevent wiring errors

• Scalable construction, using parts and methods that can transition from short runs to production

Next Steps

• Finalize panel layout once internal board revisions are complete

• Evaluate mounting options: panel-mount tabs, DIN rail clips, or both

• Conduct physical stress testing and temperature cycling

• Integrate with packaging for evaluation units

This mockup is a huge milestone. It turns a technically complete project into something ready to be held, mounted, and trusted in real-world applications.
