Today I spent my time designing the case for my macropad. I got the main shape right, but it still needs some touchups before i submit the project. i narrowed the width of the pcb just a tiny bit as i realised it was taking mesurements wrong and the switches would be off to the left so its 67,3 by 68,4 mm now. I gotta say, the proccess designing that case was gruesome😵💫. at first i tried using Autodesk Fusion but i soon realised it was like using a jackhammer to drive a nail so i switched do Shapr3D😅. It made things a bit easier to understand, but still, it was my first time using a 3D software so i had to learn all the basics first. i also had some problems with the keyboard plate generator as i didn’t know how to set the plate’s dimensions to my preferences so i just made my own plate. that took some time taking all the mesurements but i think it was worth it. i still need to polish some things like chamfer the edges, maybe add some designs and make it a bit less blocky overall.
