Lumunardo in White Case and Blue Screen

Introducing a more stylish look of the enclosure made of white PLA material and translucent blue front and rear panels. It is very hard to find acrylic material other than transparent white with 2mm thickness so we had to modify the top and bottom shells to be able to fit 3mm thick panels.

Luminardo: Fabrication and Assembling

Before STL models can be sent to a 3D printer they need to be converted into format recognized by a specific make and model of a printer. This job is usually done by software distributed with a printer. Besides, additional manipulations need to be done: the model must be properly positioned at the very centre […]

Luminardo: Designing Enclosure

The idea of making enclosure fully out of acrylic panels was abandoned due to ‘squarish’ look of the final product. We really wanted to create something a little bit more stylish and this is why the most obvious choice was 3D printing. That way it was possible to make rounded corners and streamline shape. However, […]

The BlueButton – Assembling & Testing First Prototype

The PCBs eventually arrived, however, this time it was somewhat disappointing: instead of usual two weeks the manufacturing process along with the shipment took almost four weeks. The quality seems to be fine and no ‘gotchas’ have been found so far so hopefully soldering will go smoothly.

This is how the PCBs look like:

The BlueButton – Envisaging Enclosure

Continuing the development cycle of the BlueButton today we are going to create an enclosure prototype which potentially could be 3D printed. The goal would be to fit PCBA into a plastic box comprising of three parts: a top shell, a bottom shell and a round button. All 3D bodies will be created by extrusion […]

Envisaging Case for Luminardo

Recently we have been busy working on new stylish case for Luminardo project. The challenge is to design something which would cost reasonable price and at the same time have modern look. Making cases of acrylic panels by laser cutting them is relatively inexpensive but all cases look kinda the same – like ugly boxes. […]
