With the technical side of the project progressing well, I started 3-D printing some enclosures for the RSL10 Beacons -honestly I always find an excuse to add 3D printed parts to my projects. At this point I got creative and came up with various types of enclosures.
3D Print settings
Below the settings used in Cura:
- Printer: Creality CR-10S
- Material: PLA White
- Infill: 20%, Gyroid
- Adhesion: Skirt
- Supports: No
- Layer height: 0.2mm
Assembly
There is not a lot to say here but let's mention some features that may not be noticeable:
Front Cap
The front cap has tiny holes that allow the sensors inside to breathe and a place for a 2mm light pipe2mm light pipe. I designed two of them with/without 20 degree stand.
Back Cap
The back cap also has tiny holes that allow the sensors inside to breathe and a Wall Mount option
Now that the beacons have a place to be, the project is ready for the final wrap up.
3D models are available to download in this blog entry

Very nice... How are you doing the color for the logo on the 3D prints?
Hello fmilburn and dubbie,
Thank you for you comments. To make the colored logo this is what I regularly do:
I definitely agree, Nice! And also, how did you do the coloured logos? I'm inspired to try doing this myself now - all I need is a Logo.
