Izobrulo Polylight HeartHug MainCase v2
Scope of work:
This is an ongoing project that evolves over time, adapting to technical variations and different quantities of hardware it needs to accommodate.
As the project progresses, it is continuously evaluated and adjusted to meet changing requirements and specifications.
Project constraints:
The case should not be waterproof, but rather leakproof, capable of preventing water from entering the internals
while still maintaining adequate ventilation for the PC placed inside.
QTY of internal hardware:
•Intel Nuc-sized PC
•Generic Netgear router with 5 ethernet ports
•Advatek PixLite 4 Art-net to SPI controller
•USB 4G hotspot Huawei
All the project constraints actually serve as features that shape the final case design.
For instance, the size and shape of the top cover are directly related to the dimensions of the Huawei hotspot that connects to the top USB port of the Nuc PC.
The intentional placement of holes on the sides of the case ensures that the entire setup aligns with a heart shape, making it inconspicuous to the audience.
Each internal hardware component has its own compartment with designed brackets for proper placement.
Considering the possibility of electronics reaching temperatures higher than the softening point of PET-G, there's a special gap between the hardware and the case itself.
Moreover, all hardware is positioned in a way that allows for easy access to all connections from the bottom of the case.
Software: Autodesk Fusion 360
3D printer: Different FDM printers
Material: PET-g
Time spent: 8 to 12 hours
