Arduino UNO Q DIY synth bundle - 3D Printed Case

The Arduino UNO Q DIY synth bundle is a an all-in-one Arduino bundle that lets users build and control their own modular synth using Pure Data and intuitive physical inputs.

You can buy your own bundle in the official Arduino store or just follow the tutorial to create your own kit from scratch on Arduino ProjectHub !

Here you can 3D print the case of the bundle, feel free to modify the files, change the modulinos and extend the original case to be able to do even more! 

Required Materials

Hardware

• 1x Arduino UnoQ

• 1x Arduino Modulino Distance

• 1x Arduino Modulino Knob

• 1x Arduino Modulino Movement

• 1x Arduino Modulino Buttons

• 5x 5 cm Qwiic cables

• 10x M3x6 screws

• 4x M3x10 screws

Tools & Materials

• Screwdriver

• FDM 3D printer (printbed size 160x90 mm minimum)

• 3D printing filament

• (optional) small pliers

Printing Guidelines

The kit consists of 6 parts:

1. 1x Base

2. 1x Cover

3. 1x Buttons pad

4. 1x Tilt Cross

5. 1x Tilt Plane

6. 1x Tilt Knob
   

The .3mf print file is based on Prusa Slicer, and has been tested with a print layer of 0,2 mm both in PLA and PETG. You can also use the .stl files individually to print it with different brand printers and configurations.

Support is required only in 2 areas (green in the picture below):

• The power cable holes in the upper left corner of the Base.

• The protruding joints of the Tilt Plane.

The Tilt Cross .stl file is all round, but in the .3mf file it is slightly cut to lay flat without supports. It is suggested to assemble the cross with the flat surface facing downwards, as said in the following assembly step.

In case another slicer is used it may require setting additional supports and parameters.

Assembly Steps

1. Connect the UnoQ and the Modulinos with the Qwiic cables, following this order: UnoQ -> Movement -> Buttons -> Knob -> Distance.
   

2. Gently press the Tilt Cross (if printed with flat face, face it downwards) in the joint on the right side of the Base, until it clicks in place.

1. Place the Modulino Movement on the Tilt Plane, the Knob on the Modulino Distance and screw them together with 2 M3x10 screws.

1. Pass the cables in and out of the Modulino Distance around the hooks below the Tilt Plane.

1. Gently press the resulting Tilt assembly on the Tilt Cross, until it clicks in place.

1. Bend downwards the four Button Pad’s spacers along the weak lines.

1. Place the Button Pad over the Modulino Buttons, and then screw them both in the spot next to the Tilt module, using M3x10 screws.

1. Screw the Modulino Knob on the spot right next to the Buttons, on the left.

1. Screw the Modulino Distance in the sloped seat on the left.

1. Screw the Cover over the base.

1. Have fun!
