This was before I learned about parametric design, so it's all hard-dimensioned in Fusion 360. The first couple of versions were based on combining rectangular components and came out pretty ugly. I had problems getting them to penetrate each other well enough that they would result in good joints when printed.
Then I learned about spline curves and such and totally redesigned it and it looks a lot nicer. I learned about holes and countersinking, and centering and copying features. One remaining issue is that there's a "bridge" between the two sides where the back joins in, and the filament droops a bit. But it's on the bottom and the back, and the remote hides it completely, so I just left it that way.
It turned out the remote in another room (same manufacturer, different model) fits nicely in it, so I printed a couple more for that room. Nice to be able to just reprint them on demand!
I've shared this design on Thingiverse here.
No, I didn't print it in blue for actual use. This is a trial print! |
