This project focuses on designing a compact and functional 3D-printed enclosure for the Quarky board along with its expansion board. Created using Fusion 360, the design ensures that both components are securely housed in a single unit while maintaining accessibility to essential features. The enclosure is uniquely designed such that the Quarky and expansion board themselves act as the top cover, allowing easy interaction with pins, LED matrix, and push buttons.

Supplies

  1. 3D Printer
  2. 3D Design Software

Design the Enclosure Model in Fusion 360 With Accurate Dimensions of Quarky and Its Expansion Board.
