Wanted a dashboard display for my racing simulator, and decided it would be more fun to design and build my own deign instead of buying anything off the shelf
Original External Cad Design
Updated External Cad Design
Internal Electronics Layout
Starting this project, wanted to be a simple 3D printing and electronics project, but after having it built and using it for a month or two, decided that I wanted to improve the design.
For the second version of the part, decided that I wanted to improve the electronics by learning E-Cad and designing a PCB for the electronics and removing the need for a raspberry pi. Also wanted to adjust the look to flow better.

Updated Internal Cad Design
After some trouble adjusting the casing to move from a 3D printed part to wanting to CNC the part for the next one that gets built, decided to modify the design for better machinability. Also, from the learning of designing the version one PCB, wanted to start fresh with the knowledge gained.
Design is still in progress, but improving each revision and getting better with PCB design.
