Update on the PSU Case.
Had a bit of fun in Fusion 360, sorted keyways for the two switches, radiused off some edges and, well, you'll see.
Unnecessary but . . . . what the heck!
OK, it sorta looks ok. The cable can't reach the slot I left as the PSU is snug in the case.
The two halves click together nicely - lucky as I forgot screw holes / threaded mounts . . .
BUT, and it's a major but. As I opted to decorate the lid with some logos I printed it face down.
The supports under / in and around the logos meant the upper surface of the lid WASN'T flat to the glass.
This doesn't look pretty AT ALL!
Worse still though, some detail is lost - or should I say - destroyed!
Several hours of rework in Fusion 360 (and multiple program crashes as I tried to deal with HUUUGE numbers of triangles by trying to edit the meshes) I decided to sink the logos into the lid and create a brand new Pi logo (as this had tens of thousands of triangles where I imported the .stl file).
Hopefully it'll print better and, after the internal rework, fit better too!
Space has been left for an element14 logo too, once I get around to drawing that!
Tah-Dah!!
