Quote from: coffeemuse on Yesterday at 03:26:57 PMMy LisaFPGA is finally here, and it's truly a work of art.

However, I seem to have made a mistake in my calculations, or the physical boards are larger than the 3D model. The ports align perfectly, but the shell is slightly too small to accommodate the board. I'll need to spend some more time in Fusion360 to refine the design and make it usable.


Glad you like it so far!

Perhaps you specced the outer dimensions of the case to be the same as the board, so then when you expanded the walls inward, it ended up being too small? Just a total guess though.



That is very likely the cause. I created the box walls around the edge of the board, but I now suspect that I may have thickened the walls in the wrong direction. If so, should be a fairly easy fix once I have time to sit down to work on the project, which likely will not be until this weekend when I will have some time without distractions.

Seeing that 3D printed case and reading Alex's comments about battery life on a power brick made me realize that...
