I took training for the laser engraver at the hackspace, so it became time to look at some free drafting programs. In the past, I was able to borrow a few minutes on my work computer with AutoCAD. I tried QCAD, and it was easy to switch skills over, plus it ran on all my computers.
I did not look online for dimensions of my components and chose to rely on measurements, so I was prepared to make multiple iterations of the faceplate. In the first version, I planned to drill holes for mounting the Arduino or redesign the plate with those holes later.
I was not sure which material I would use for my faceplate. The hardboard on the left side of the picture was from dry-erase board scraps, and the blue plastic was from the giveaway bin at the hackspace. It was clear acrylic under the blue covering.
The rest of the posts for this project have been arranged by date.
