This is a prototype that I designed in FreeCAD. I dont think im going forward with the design.
Design goals were:
- main body had to be one piece
- needed to be comfortable in my lap
- no supports
- less than 24 hour print time
This was printed on a modified ender 5 plus.
The removable panel features an oled screen, I humored this being for sale product so I had designed it so the auxillary panel could be reused or changed based on features the user might want. It's sized to fit 3 22mm buttons. I ultimately decided it was not worth the cost and time it takes to produce one. (25 hour print at a .36 mm layerheight with a 0.6mm nozzle, 500+g of filament. Not including the detachable panel nor the bottom (closer to 600g)
This model also warped on one edge, but its not particularly visible.
