Elektrosluch MK1 (Scorpio)

After I finished prototype of Elektrosluch DIY, I started working on a 3D model of an enclosure for the prototype.

Firstly, I created a rough model based on which I then made scorpio-like looking model of the enclosure. I decided to call this version MK1 (Scorpio).

Six and something hours later I had it printed on my Wilson TS MK1 printer.

I added power switch and also potenciometer for volume control to the prototype and redone wiring for the inductors so I could install them to the new model.

I looked at the schematics for Elektrosluch 3 to see how the volume is done to make sure I won’t introduce an unnecessary bug.

I made a couple of mistakes during modelling phase, so I fixed those in the model and worked around them on the printed version.

After I assembled everything together, I found that there some sort of bug creating huge interference in the right channel. I rewired (shortened) every new wirethat I added to see if that fixes it. Didn’t. I decided to remove volume control, but that didn’t help either.

In the end I decided that I should give it a break and make a new model the following week on Wednesday when I’ll be at the OpenLab session at the FabLab.
