Part To Be Designed

As a group we decided that for the part that is to be 3D printed we wanted to create a frame for the alarm clock. This frame could not exceed 4 cubic inches so we decided that there was not going to be a bottom, top, or back. There's two sides and a front where the LCD can protrude through in order to display the time. A picture of this part is as follows. The part pictured has a volume of 3.91 cubic inches. Enclosed in this casing would be all of our breadboards and arduino boards that would been needed to execute a fully functional alarm clock. For this alarm clock to be more visually appealing the back will be covered up with cardboard or precisely cut foam board. This material would also be used for the top of the case. On top of this would be the fan that can be operated by a button. We decided to use cardboard or foam board because it could be punctured to have the button protruding in order to operate the fan. The hole in the model above the place where the LCD will be placed is where the LED light will protrude out to blink when the alarm goes off.
