yoRadio case for 3.5" IPS

About this design:

I was looking for an enclosure that would visually match my Bluesound Powernode, but couldn't find one that fit my needs, so I designed my own.

Updates:

• 2026-06-02: Added an optional bottom part designed for the VTom Radio PCB,

• 2026-06-02: Improved the main case - now easier to print and mount with bottom part,

• 2026-05-19: Added an extra knob option (40mm): 

What you'll need:

Hardware:

• 90x64mm smoked acrylic sheet (3mm thick),

• standard rotary encoder,

• 40mm diameter knob (3D printed or commercially available metal knob),

• C14 power inlet with fuse holder (27x31mm) (or other - use the blank version of bottom enclosure),

• anti-slip foam pads,

• M3 self-tapping screws,

• M3 screws with nuts,

• nylon standoffs for PCBs.

Electronics (optional):

• custom PCB (power supply + ESP32).

• PCM5102A DAC module,

• ST7796 IPS display,

• WiFi antenna.

Assembly:

1. Top enclosure:

• install the smoked acrylic panel (90x64mm, 3mm) - I've used T7000 glue,

• mount the rotary encoder,

• carefully mount the screen with M3 self-tapping screws, 

• attach the 40mm knob.

2. Bottom enclosure:

• install your PCB using the mounting holes and nylon standoffs,

• install the DAC using holder, 

• install the C14 power inlet, 

• install the WiFi antenna.

3. Final assembly:

• secure top and bottom halves with M3 screws,

• insert anti-slip foam pads into each foot.

Printing tip: printed with fuzzy skin and Hilbert curve on the top.
