Redesigning CAD + Started creating case Pt. 1
Today i decided to work on making my CAD design better because the first every version looked really bad, didn’t have all the angles and measurements i needed to actually make this device.
In this new version there will be more drawing for stuff like how all the components will fit inside the chassis - how they stack on top of each other so i can see how much room i will have.
I don’t have a picture of the chassis i made in this journal because it was literally just a box but ill probably add a photo of it in the next part
I decided to make the USB-C breakout board is was using on my PCB in my CAD design so i could make my design more accurate without guessing, this probably took the most time out of my day i kept entering the wrong numbers so i had to redo it a lot and had to keep looking back
when i first added my chassis into fusion 360 i realized that it was to small because i didn’t really account for walls because in Auto Cad they are only lines they dont have thicknesses, so i decided to make two models one where i added a 1mm thickness to the wall going into the device which would make the inside smaller which didn’t work so i decided to go with my second where i just added 1mm all around the outside, im really counting on being able to order it in aluminum or something a little stronger but now thinking about it i might add a extra 0.5mm onto it
