Designing an enclosure design for the personal assistant

In this task, we will look into the enclosure design for the project. In order to make things simple, we will use a design that is open source. The enclosure is one that can be assembled in few simple steps. This enclosure was designed by Michael Milazzo (http://makezine.com/2013/01/18/laser-cutting-a-glueless-acrylic-project-box/).

Prepare for lift off

This enclosure can be fabricated in few simple steps using a laser cutter. The design available along with this project in the PDF format can be modified using a design tool such as Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator.

  1. The enclosure design is meant to be manufactured using a laser cutter. Since laser cutters can be easily accessed from hackerspaces, open workshops, and so on, it should be easy to make this enclosure.
  2. A laser cutter is easy to use when we adhere to safety practices. You must undergo training to operate a laser cutter. The files used for laser cutting are available from the preceding link.
  3. Once the laser cutting operation is complete, the parts of the enclosure look like the one shown in the following image:

  4. The assembly of the enclosure is quite intuitive. We will make use of this enclosure in the later part of this project.
