Case for KX 2nd Look

thingiverse

This is a case with associated supporting parts for the KX 2nd Look device (see: http://www.k8zt.com/2ndlook ). The goal was to create the smallest case possible that fits all the parts provided when you buy one of the standard kits. Here are the things included: 1. Case itself 2. Back to close it off 3. A supporting frame for mounting the breakout board in case 4. A supporting frame for mounting a voltage buck to provide 5v (see: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079N9BFZC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) 5. A "long" brace that can be used if you set the case on top of a KX2 6. A "short" brace that can be used if you mount the case side by side with the KX2 (same angle) 7. A remix thumbscrew knob resized for holding the foot in place (long or short). See: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2551007 for original collection. There is a place in the base to insert a M3 nut so that the thumbscrew has a solid attachment place. I have not tried this with a KX3, so I do not know if it would work. In addition to various M3 screws (everything is threaded for M3), you will need (beyond the basic kit): 1. One or two 2.5mm barrel sockets (you need the second one if you want to pass through the case to provide one power cord for both KX and KX 2nd Look) 2. Voltage buck (see above link) 3. Slide switch (spst) for power (if you print the case with the switch, mounting holes are 15mm on centers) 4. Male to male 2.5mm barrel connector if you pass thru power. There are two cases you can print: 1. No power switch 2. Sliding power switch If you are using the power pass thru for the KX2, I would recommend printing the case with the on/off switch. The Kx 2nd look has to be started after the KX2 starts. Otherwise it cannot send the command to the KX2 to output the decoded text over the acc cable.
