This is my lazy take to build @matixovi's very fun project. The original model is here and it's very cool.
Why?
I made my own casing because
- I'm not very good at soldering things,
- the components I own already have pins attached
So in the end, my model is bulkier Thant the original, but it is OK for me and it might be OK for you too. Apart from that, for the wiring, setup and configuration, nothing changes. Refer to @matixovi's work and you should end up with a fully functional and enjoyable little radar.
Parts list
ASA filament. I chose ASA because it's good looking, sturdy, heat tolerant (the small CPU can be quite hot). And supports come off easily. One M2x6 screw to attach the screen ring to the screen-to-box part (just above the screen) Two M2x10 screws to attach the screen-to-box part to the box (middle of the model) Two M2x12 screws to attach the box to the screen ring through the screen-to-box part Seven female-to-female Dupont wire jumpers And of course an ESP32-C3 Super Mini and a 1.28″ round GC9A01 display as required by the project.
Printing
Do not change the orientation of the stl models. The box needs supports and should come off easily with ASA.
Assembly
The tricky part is when you have to pack the wires in the enclosure. Curl them in gently but firmly. Ensure the USB-C socket is correctly positioned through its slot. Try not to break things :)
