Devlog #5: Enclosure and Design are Ready! (Voltstrip V2.0)

A huge step forward — the 3D design and the complete enclosure for Voltstrip V2.0 are officially done! After playing around with dimensions, alignment, and fine details, everything has finally clicked into place.


What’s Been Done

  • ** Main Enclosure Design:** All mechanical components (4 switches and a rotary encoder) are perfectly positioned on the top plate. The honeycomb details on the sides give the enclosure a great visual contrast and a premium look.
  • ** QR Code & Branding:** After a fierce battle trying to import SVG files into Fusion 360 (which completely refused to cooperate), I shifted the workflow to Tinkercad and Bambu Studio. The QR code was successfully imported, scaled up for better scanability, and debossed deep enough for the printer to cleanly resolve it. Right above it, the striking text "VOLTSTRIP V2.0" has been added.
  • ** Final Visualization:** All components have been assembled and verified in Fusion 360 — aesthetically and geometrically, the macropad looks exactly as I envisioned.

Current Status & Plan

  • ** Fixing Minor Bugs:** All that’s left is to go through the model and fix a few small cosmetic and technical glitches, double-check the switch tolerances, and ensure the USB-C cutout is millimeter-accurate so the electronics don’t bind.
  • Finishing the Project: I plan to fully finish the entire macropad starting tomorrow — locking in all files, generating the final STL/STEP versions, and prepping the repository for the Hack Club review.

Let’s push to the finish line!
