Devlog 5:
-Found a better screen for the device
-Decided on various types of switches for the device
-Checked possible layouts for the electronics
-Found another battery with better overall dimensions
-Checked some printing materials & options on JLC3DP
-Found a few other components for QoL features
Extra:
I have done quite a lot of research on everything today.

  1. The switches:
    The final layout for the device is not completely decided yet. But I think I’ll keep 2 of the front-facing buttons for “pause/play” and “skip-/previous track”. I’ll also add one “3-position sliding switch” (for motor on/auto/off options) and one “2-position sliding switch” (for device on/off) on the side of the case.
  2. The Quality of Life features:
    Too be able to get that seamless screen look on the TP-7, I can use a processed Acrylic piece. It makes it so that the pixels seem to be floating inside the acrylic window, which looks awesome.
    I will maybe add a light sensor so it know when it is in a pocket. The sensor will be active/used when the “motor on/auto/off switch” is set to “auto”.
  3. The texture & material:
    I’m not completely sure what material to use yet, but I want the same texture/feel that’s on the LAMY Safari pens (matte Umbra version). There is 1 material on JLC3DP that looks promising.

    If you are interested and want to see how it turns out. Press follow.
