We’ll admit to not totally understanding what [Jay Doscher] has deliberate for the pair of RTL-SDR Weblog V4 software program outlined radios (SDRs) which might be enclosed within the slick 3D printed enclosure he’s designed. However when has that ever stopped us from appreciating a pleasant design once we see one?
Contained in the ventilated enclosure is the aforementioned pair of RTL-SDR Weblog V4 (SDRs), in addition to a StarTech USB hub that they’re plugged instantly into. It looks as if it wouldn’t take a lot to adapt this design to another pair of USB devices, comparable to flash drives or WiFi adapters.
Actually, in the event that they’re smaller than the RTL-SDR [Jay] has used right here, you can most likely get away with solely needing to change the one facet panel of the case.
The easy modularity of the design, with two finish items and the highest and backside plates, makes such modifications simple as you don’t have to reprint the entire thing for those who simply desire a completely different antenna aperture. It additionally makes it simple to print with out help materials, and with just some tweaks, seems prefer it could possibly be tailored to make use of laser-cut panels for the edges. This may not solely be sooner than printing, however relying on the fabric, may make for a really stout enclosure.
We’ve lined a number of designs from [Jay] over time, together with plenty of heavy-duty cell “doomsday” computer systems that actually slot in with this identical design aesthetic. In spite of everything, why not face the tip of the world with a bit of type?
