Case redesign

A project log for ATLAS

Built the tricorder I actually wanted in the field: one that warns, not just measures.

I printed the T1 case to hold in my hands and found it boxy and uncomfortable. So, I went back and redesigned the whole thing to actually feel good, thinner overall, with big fillets at the bottom for two-handed grip. It’s amazing what holding a prototype will teach you that CAD never will.

Other upgrades:

Pro tip: If you do build this, don’t even think about bringing it through TSA. Especially not with Play-Doh inside. I’m not responsible for the “sir, please step over here” moment.

Redesign after T1 design.
