Laser Cut Raspberry Pi Mini HiFi

The system consisted of two main components: the pair of PC speakers and the Raspberry Pi 3 itself. The speaker cases were crafted from 3mm thick plywood. PC Speakers I designed the speaker cases using the tool found at www.makercase.com, which allows users to set dimensions, drill holes, and add text. The tool generates a ready-to-use SVG file for laser cutting. For the electronics components, I employed two 2” speaker drivers and a multi-purpose cable featuring an amp, USB port, and built-in 3.5mm plug. Raspberry Pi Case Originally designed with 3D printing in mind, this case proved to be perfectly suitable for laser cutting as well. The upper and lower panels were connected using nylon screws. The audio output was handled by the Raspberry Pi's 3.5mm jack, while power was supplied via the USB port. To enhance sound quality, users can simply add a DAC expansion board onto the Raspberry Pi. Software Volumio was installed for audio playback, providing seamless access to local songs, NAS files, and Spotify playlists. This project is remarkably straightforward, making it accessible to anyone looking to create their own system.
