Basic Knobster Case

** Makers Note: I'm not a 3D modeler. I don't pretend to know how to use Fusion 3D Max-up 2021 GOTY Edition. I made this in Windows 3D Builder because it's simple and I'm stupid. ** This is a quick and basic box to fit a dual rotary encoder used for flight simulation setups. It will take the encoder board and an arduino nano without any modifications to them. Meaning, I ordered the nano with the pins already installed and soldered the pins on the encoder board straight in so I could use jumper wires to connect them. It all fits inside the box but that's all you're fitting in it. It is tight but shouldn't cause bending of the pins. I've thinned the thickness of the front where the knob goes to allow for the threads to come through so it can be tightened in place with the nut that is typically included with the knob. The back just pops into place and has a cutout at the bottom for the nano's USB port. If you cram it all in there correctly it should line up and stay in place for connecting and disconnecting. The mounting tab fits it on the left side of a Honeycomb Alpha, it could easily be remixed to fit on the right side or even other brands of yokes. Seriously, it's just a box with a hole in it, modify it to your heart's content. Tip: Print the box front side down and add supports to the mounting tab.
