The idea behind this thread is to develop a more compact design for the MT12 Remote guts all while taking as much of your ideas & suggestions into account as my 3d designing skill set will allow.
It Looks pretty like it’s gonna be pretty rough as far as achieving a noticeably different enclosure to hold all the components but I’m looking forward to the challenge.
Some thoughts & ideas already on the horizon.
It was suggested that maybe running the remote without the LCD screen or rather making it detachable would be a good solution to minimize the amount of components I need to package nicley.
I should probably test that the remote can work without the screen first. But I’m going to include it in this current rendition until I find out whether the screen can be done without / be mounted to the casing if desired.
Upon smashing all the electronics together by hand and trying to tetris them as neatly as possible.
I thought maybe it’s worth running a smaller battery
To really downsize space needed…
It Should be fun… I’m not really under any pressure since I’m not really utilizing this remote for any board currently but when I do decide to use it again I want it to be geared a little more towards esk8
I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the remote! Be cautious about using a full metal case, though, as it might interfere with the signal. I’d recommend considering a mix of MJF print and metal, similar to Evolve’s Phase remote.
You could create an inner shell out of MJF, which is already strong enough on its own. This will be a costly approach, but a full CNC aluminum case would also be expensive. To reinforce the case, you could add metal rails around the edges, similar to the Phase remote.
Hey I appreciate it Jeff! for the early renditions I’ll likely be just printing it out of PETG but as it starts to prove itself I’ll look into a higher quality solution if people become interested enough
Haven’t forgot about this project
Unfortunately life has just been in the way of it among many other projects.
But I finally took the components out of storage & I was going to figure how to repair the receiver / remote (Iforgot)
To determine if it will send PWM signal without the screen… this is so I can justify putting in the
hours of design work as a half step before I started modeling the casing.
But unfortunately again I will be busy until April before I can go back to doing nerd shit
Gonna be in Arizona 4 work
