Mp3 player through which we can listen to music by connecting a sd card or pendrive supports upto 128gb

Ship #1 Pending review

So Hi all I have made an mp3 player. You know spotify and all music apps are paid these days and network issues when u are using the free version not to mention the ads also so I thought why not make something using which I can listen music. Oh I made it a mp3 player which supports pendrive and sd cards upto 128gb. There are lot of issues I faced first designing the pcb then hectic part was making the project files from kicad the drc and stuff. Now I got my funding and I ordered the parts got it built the project but while building the project I faced an issue with my case design I didn’t account for the space of battery and the 2 switches there was space only for 1 switch , the snap lid wasn’t fitting because I gave gap but forgot that when plastic cools it shrinks so I should have gave a bit more thickness gap so it fitted so I made it temporarily work by adding double tape to top lid to stick to the main case body . The next issue was that the usb sockets space I left wasn’t enough height wise so to solve that I used soldering iron to make some space by melting the case but I didn’t destroy it I used my fine hands to shape the case front side sockets using soldering iron to make space so that I can plug in my pendrive and earphones . Then I spent about nearly 30mins sanding the outer surface because it was uneven now due to soldering the plastic came a bit outwards also so I sanded extra part made it smooth then I soldered the components and fitted them all in the case and yeah it works great. Thanks to Hackclub and Stardance for helping me bring my project to life.

So finally the project came alive to life thanks to Hackclub Stardance that they funded me i spent around 2-3hrs soldering the joints and checking functions. Just 2 mistakes I made was with my case alignment and fitting as the snap lid was a bit off so I used double tape to stick it to the main body and then the sockets ports size was a bit off so had to use my soldering iron to make some space but in a way that the structure looks good from outside then spent sanding the surface from outside due to the roughness caused by soldering iron and the off shape then after abt 30mins of sanding it went smooth and nice now all good and the project finally works audio is audible clearly. Thanks Hackclub once again for helping me to bring my project to life.

Spent a few hours changing the repo only to realize at end that wait the case design is totally off and the upper lid alignments needs to be changed also the text orientation how it will look when we snap the lid close . Spent a few mins then fixing the case issue then made few small additions to the repo also .

Now finally I referred to the repo of orhpeuspad by Qcoral then I used it to understand how to make a proper well aligned structured repo . Then I made a few small changes to the case of my device add some text and making an hole in the top lid of case. Finally finished cleanly with the repo with proper details BOM and the files with structures.
