GreenAntz RGB to component transcoder

Your GreenAntz doesn't have the v1.94 sync LED unfortunately.
Would you like to use some proper/original GreenAntz logo art? I can share files with you.

It was fun designing the case. It's a work in progress now. The first print let me adjust some spacing and fitting issues. I'll play around with the design until I get a print that I'm happy with. The original artwork would be handy once I have the enclosure model geometry sorted.

I didn't like the boxy first version so I did a more pleasing (to me) curvy version.
Here are the results printed in clear filament:
Some small adjustments for screws to fit, mainly just a slight countersunk size and shape for M3 self tapping screws and maybe a fraction more room around the power cable plug head. Other than that - good to go! ;D Separate holes for the RCA sockets is not a good idea, there just ain't enough room on that fitting!
Zeb, if you want I can add a logo. Basically just a thinly printed black/green badge would look good. I recommend a single badge to keep things simple. The Ant head is a good choice. Keep in mind that filament printers don't do fine filigree work or very thin parts too well. Maybe send me a Google drive link for artwork and I'll have a look?
If you want another final sample print in different colors let me know. I get filament way cheaper than most folks so no big deal. Cost for the STL files? Hmm let me see here, my hourly rate is $200US * 5Hrs minus the BYOAC member discount which comes to a total of... $0.00. Hey, that's cheap! :laugh2: Ok, I have to get back to some PCB crossover design now.
:cheers:

Ond, that already looks great!
I too prefer curves in the right places, no need for hard edges/corners. Sure, it is a box, but it doesn't have to look boxy.
So that is how the "clear" comes out - basically a slightly opaque white. But that looks good too, and the power LED is visible through it. Which means the design would also accommodate v1.94 with a sync LED.
I concur with you about the logo too - simple is better. Will assemble a modest zip package of files and PM you the link in next couple of days. You can take what you need from that.
Nice work! Thank you! Love the members price <3

Great work on that Ond.
Always nice to see the product of someone with a great mind and eye for design.
I'm still trying to catch up on projects among crises here but I'm looking forward to my next raster build!

Thanks Zeb, yes the artwork would be a nice finishing touch. I've made some final adjustments (see below) after realizing there is in fact room for individual RCA port holes. For some reason I was thinking about the outer plug plastic sheath diameter's not having enough room instead of the metal plug parts.

Thanks bobby, you've become one of my fav builders here. Love your vector AND raster work! I hope you do keep building, I always find inspiration in your work.
It's just cold here right now so I prefer working on the computer doing design stuff until the weather warms up again and I can get back to cabinet building.
:cheers:
As usual I can't rest up on a project (even a mini one) until I've tweaked it to my satisfaction. I think it is adequate now. I've tested with readily available screws and the GreenAntz board that I have. The printed parts should fit nicely together and screws should go in without needing a torque wrench :lol The 3D print design should be somewhere near PL1's best practice criteria?
