Drummy - Project Box

3D Printed Project Box

We used a 3D printing machine in Leslie Lab to make our project box. The machine was fairly easy to manipulate and the instructions were straightforward. It took over 10 hours in total to print out all the parts of the box. We finished assembling the parts after the printing was completed.


One thing to improve:
We actually printed the frame part and bottom part twice because during the first printing, we manually modify the design files to stick them together so that we thought it would reduce the printing time. However, that sort of changed the original height setting and the assembled box was shallower than expected. During the second printing, we printed those two parts separately and everything worked out perfectly.

Here are some photos:

Drummy - Ideation and planning

Mini MIDI Controller - Ideation and planning <Project Name: Drummy OR M&M> Project idea In this project, we are trying to build a portable Trellis MIDI instrument that has a pleasant physical form (making users want to press!) and can send MIDI notes signal to any MIDI-enabled applications (MIDI Studio on OSX and some iOS apps). The mini controller has a 3d-printed case housing one 4x4 trellis and 4 potentiometers ideal for a 16-button drum pad. Technically, with a little programming ingenuity, it is possible for the controller to send any kind of MIDI command through USB. The idea is inspired a device called UNTZtrument, an open-source grid controller based on the Adafruit Trellis button platform. Target audience People who are interested in music and technology and want to have a handy and portable MIDI sequencer that can entertain their music addiction! Project meaning Visualize music beats for the music player on ...
