I LOVE LCSC

I got my BOM down after finding all my parts on lcsc, twas awesome, I cant think of any other things that i could do to the usb hub so ill probably submit soonish, i didnt really adjust the CAD since my last journal and i love the little window in the bottom right of the case design, i did add colors to the design though, one thing that ive learned from this project is that if i source from LCSC im going to have a really easy time making my BOM thanks to the feature that allows you to export your cart in a neat and organized manner.

Finished the case design

Im happy with this, I added a case with two parts(top and bottom lol) it has two holes through the PCB where i want to tie some string / rope and add it to a keychain or maybe later on add pegs and let it be its own thing, Something to keep in mind for future projects is to outline the PCB and any extruding parts in a sketch before maing any objects in onshape, i think im going to add materials and colors, then make a bom and then look at part pricing and then i should be good to submit hopefully.

Same same but different

As I've been making the laptop stand project, I've thought more about the USB PCB itself, and I think that it would be handy to just have this lying around, but not have it attached to my laptop directly, if that makes sense. Ima a start working on a case for the PCB itself. The goal for this project is basically to make a fairly small case for a USB hub that I could carry around in a pocket or small space in a backpack
