Design and Manufacturing¶
- Size: Compact and sleek, approximately 10x7x5 cm.
- Shape: Rectangular or cylindrical.
- UI: Minimalistic, with a small LED indicator for status notifications.
- Material: ABS or wood to withstand outdoor conditions.
- Weatherproofing: Sealed casing to protect electronics from dust, and IP65 rated to withstand outdoor conditions.
First Iteration¶
The casing design is straightforward; I included mounts at the bottom for attaching the enclosure to a door, and a lid to seal the body. For the bottom part, I plan to use ABS for 3D printing, as it is suitable for electronics enclosures. As for the top part, I aim to experiment with wood by milling it using a milling machine.
Second Version¶
After determining the correct dimensions for the components needed inside the casing, the second version was born: 
Final Version:¶
For the final version of my packaging design, after thoroughly calculating the required dimensions of the components that need to fit inside the box, I designed the following parts:
- Bottom Part: This will be 3D printed to hold the PCB securely.
- Middle Parts: These will be created using laser-cut 3mm plywood with finger joints for easy assembly and then painting to look it better.
- Top Part: This will also be 3D printed which includes designated spaces for mounting a speaker, ultrasonic sensor, LED, and camera.
- And finally, I pasted stickers where I got design from google source using vinyl cutting machine to looks better aesthetically.
