A little something to be 3D printed for my collection.
The initial shell is where I want it, now come the detail pieces so I can add lights and sound later on.

    Top LED segment:

    That cutout at the back is currently intended for a Grove LED module, though I'm not completely sold on that yet since five bucks seems like a lot for something that simple.

    Towers to mount the magnets are added, now I just need to get my filament printer back into working order so I can move on to the electronics fun.

    Slowly getting there. The shell itself is printing right now.

    First print turned out too thin and the fibers in the front/back surfaces didn't fully fuse.
    Not sure if it's because I'm not used to working with PETG filament (Ender 3, printed at 230/70°C) or if it's a settings thing.

    Had to rework the Shell to fit my new choice in components (preliminary list):
    -18500 battery module (takes care of voltage regulation, charging and 5V and 3.3V output
    -Arduino Nano
    -DFPlayer for audio playback
    -passive speaker
    -magnets (3x1 round) to hold the shell together
    -5V LED strip to provide backlights for the display
    -white LEDs to blink/pulse

    Any advice or alternative recommendations?

    Will have to take a break for a week or two until some parts arrive in the next two weeks.

    Parts on their way:
    -Replacement hotend kit for the Ender 3 (old one has croaked)
    -Fresh perforated circuit boards
    -Color-coded wiring
    -Resistors
    -Slide switches to turn on/off certain subsections of the circuit.

    Well, I can't print the shell right now, but at least the demo setup of the electronics is working.

    Exhibit one that I suck at soldering:

    Just started to learn using KiCAD for circuit board production.
    Many thanks to @Mangy_Dog and @IRML for their patient help!
