I milled the case out of MDF. While MDF is no match for the delicate details of the case, it's just good enough to show the principal structures:

But the overall structure is right, which means that I seem to have gotten all the coordinate transforms in the toolpath generation process right. This is what the assembled case would look like: http://downloads.qi-hardware.com/people/werner/anelok/tmp/ybox-mdf-closed.jpg The USB A connector rides fairly high, which is because of the two large "claws" that hold it on the PCB. Alas, the all-SMT part I've shown in the previous picture is too exotic to use for this project, and all the regular ones have those claws. - Werner _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
