After a bit of fiddling around with my Wanhao D7 resin printer, I've finally settled on some enclosure prints that I'm happy with. Printing with resin has its own set of challenges that can be tricky to work through, especially with larger parts. There's a good bit of post-processing involved once the parts come off the machine (removing supports, UV curing, sanding, drilling) and it can be a pain.

In the meantime I've also been working pretty hard on writing code for the Teensy. It's been pretty interesting playing with the audio shield and I'm happy with the results so far. The basic synth I've designed has 2 main oscillators, a filter and an envelope (these are configurable via code, so I can easily change it up later on if I want to). I've mapped the IR sensor to the oscillators' frequency and also added functionality for octave shifting and a low-pass filter that can be adjusted with the linear pot trigger. I've also been manually drawing out frame-by-frame dynamic animations for the 8x8 dot matrix display, and they're looking pretty cool so far!

I'll be traveling for the next couple of days for a wedding so I'm trying to get as much as possible done before that. Hopefully when I get home my PCB's will be waiting for me in the mailbox!
