I have been using these little stereo amplifiers for quite a while now and have been very impressed with their quality. I also wanted to build an amp / speaker system for my computer that would sit quietly under my 4K monitor. I had all the components I needed but it would require a suitable set of boxes to house the whole thing.
And that's exactly when the idea was born.
When I was a lad, a very popular toy was Meccano. For those who don't know about Meccano, or for North American readers, an Erector Set, it was, and indeed still is, a set of component parts that bolt together and can be made into all manner of working models.
I began to design a set of parts that would, together, be easy to assemble into a standard case for electronics that could be 3D printed at home.
I learnt a lot from that exercise, not least that it was expensive printing all the trial bits only to find that my clever idea #23 didn't work any better than the first iteration.
Nonetheless, I have persevered and have now learnt enough to have produced the two speaker units and an amp / MP3 player unit and they work!
