My first MintyPi build + Audio Jack

[Mario.Semiglia]

Hallo guys,

I am making this post mainly to say thanks to wermy and to Helder, and to all of you who are always support and help others like veterangamer, rodocop and yaya. I am really exited about this project: mostly of the parts came today and I am really happy with the quality. By the way the color of the Cinamom 3d printed parts from wermy are just beautifull, I thought I would get something more pinky, but after looking the other colors (which seemed a little electrical to me) I decided to give it a go and I am really happy with what I got.

Here is a picture of all the things that came today:

The actuall color is a little brighter than the one of the picture. This is a post in which I will add pictures of my project as soon as I have some time to put in modifying the case and show my progress.

Thanks again and keep it up

I am happy to post some progress

as you can see I am very very clumsy but I don't mind posting my mistakes, this boxes will be used as "part boxes", for buttons and so on... after all this mess, I finally got some real time to do the things right (with some scratches)...

the hole was even too low and took me a lot of time to do so I decided to cut a piece of the plastic that goes inside what turned out really well, the plastic doesn't move at all inside the box, I just used some electrical tape on the bottom... I also grinn the powerboost metal so it sticks a little out, tomorrow Ill keep making holes

Still need to clean the tin inside... will do it after all holes are done...

by the way I wanna add the function button at the back of the tin plus two led lights, do you think they'll fit?

So I gave up on the led lights but I added a Audio Jack when making the holes I got very bored about the fact that I don't have a drimmel so I made one

for the Audio Jack I used the same method as for the powerboost to same some space, I cut the bottom plastic carefully with the shape of the Jack

and I also tried to make the wires as flat as possible

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE IN THIS COMMUNITY!!!!!
I am very happy with the result, and I still have to tune some little things like making the tin close completely and figure out were there is a little shortcut but all good, I will be posting on the support section. THANKS!!!!
