I’ve been working on the sheet-metal enclosure for Darśana.

This is my first proper attempt at modeling the case in Autodesk Fusion, and it took me much longer than expected.

Even something as simple as “a box with holes” turned out to involve lots of details—sheet-metal rules, bends, corner seams, offsets, and so on.

After many trial-and-error cycles, I finally managed to produce a rough top-panel render that includes all the openings:

potentiometers, keys, the OLED window, and the rear connectors.

It’s still very much a draft, and I’m sure I’ll revise most of it once I start checking clearances and mechanical tolerances.

But for now, I’m just relieved that the basic shape is in place.

More refinements will follow as I get more comfortable with Fusion.
