Description
Video of the the final product:
Remix of another portal radio with the following changes.
-Modeled internal enclosure for bluetooth speaker components. I specifically used this speaker as I had it sitting around not being used: https://a.co/d/4HNJ0mb
-Separated the front face into 4 separate pieces to be able to print them in different colors as I don't have an AMS
-Separated the knob into 2 pieces to allow for printing in different colors
-Modified the back of the body/main shell to allow space for the control panel mounted on the back of the speaker enclosure
-M3 heatset inserts in the internal speaker enclosure and main body were used to be able to take it apart without compromising the integrity of the screw holes.
-The antenna I split down the middle long ways and printed in 2 separate pieces laying on the long flat side and then glued together. Makes for a stronger end result and much easier to print.
-The only thing I didn't change was the base for the antenna
-For the LED I cut the bi color led off of the pcb of the bluetooth speaker and extended it to the front with some wires so soldering would be required for that step. the LED is 3mm which is too small for the front panel which was made for a 5mm so I took a white 5mm led, cut the legs off of it and partially hollowed out the back of it with a drill, I then glued the existing 3mm led from the speaker into the hollowed section.
