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.
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.
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

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.
