Description

A custom 3D printed desktop VU meter. The design is based around a cheap but great quality 16 segment LED VU meter PCB. The rest of the components (audio jacks, power switch and rectifier) were chosen based on things I have at home.
A super detailed walktrough of the printing and assembly process is avilable on the linked video.

Printing:

Main chassis-frame: Support enabled for the 4 mounting screws holes. They are super small so don't add to the wheight/printing time significantly.
Rest of the parts: no supports needed.

As shown in the video a small amount of glue is needed to join the PCB and the LED separator to the front frame.
