OS Pixie S/C Tx Enclosure

thingiverse

This is a 3D printed enclosure for a retro single channel transmitter called the OS Pixie, circa 1970s. The modern reproductions utilize 2.4GHz RF modules and DIY Arduino electronics. The original case design was conceptualized and drawn by Mike Kitchen in OpenSCAD; however, the files are incomplete. I re-modeled the design in TinkerCAD for fun, and it turned out fine. Due to the unique shape of the case, significant support is required during printing, which significantly increases print time. To simplify the process, the enclosure could be split into three parts and then re-assembled using glue. For further information, visit the Mode Zero forum at http://www.mode-zero.uk. Update: March 31, 2018 - The case design has been revised to eliminate the pillar. A 20mm M3 brass hex standoff is now used instead. The rear of the case features a drilled and countersunk area for a small M3 screw. Additionally, I added "MADE IN JAPAN" text to the case rear as per the original design. All designs are available on TinkerCAD.
