The final jigsaw is a fully GPL'd openscad based case designs for tablet, netbooks, panel computer, and match box sized gadget. Got me four 3D printers to address that soon enough.
oo. i have a partially-completed layout for a tablet in blender, all the components have "parts"representing them - touchscreen etc - it needs the "outside" making. any takers?
I got 4 printers - one of them formlabs. I'm very proficient at openscad parametric design now as well. If you are open sourcing it, drop the files somewhere and I get it printed.
it needs completing. there's no actual case, just the parts that go *in* the case (including touchscreen) so that the case can be made around them properly without screwing up.
? I'm not sure what that means.
The easiest option for me then is to take one of a numerous number of tablets I got, strip it down and do an openscad parametric design and release it fully GPL'd after making sure it can be 3D printed. Anyone can then make their own cases. The reverse side will be split into two like a pair of shutters. The shutters are interchangeable - make one a keyboard, and the other a flat wireless charger coil. Alternatively have both replaced by solar cells. I already purchase the solar cells (0.1mm thick and damn fragile!). All parametric so any size ARM netbook/tablet screen size, bezel size, battery size ready to accommodate and print.
