3D printing in under process
Here is good news! the 3d printing is started Deliver to us in just 5-6 day
#here are some photo-
Top lead of Case-

Order PCB and 3D Case
So after Finishing PCB And 3D printed Case
Then I start finding the cheapest option Available for both So 3D printing I That printed my 3D case via #printing-legion-india in just to 4.1 dollar for shiping
PCB there's a lot of confusion There are few pcb services available
-JLCPCB providing pcb at low but shipping is high
-Pcbway providing mid at low but shipping is mid
-Seeed fusion pcb at low but shipping is high
Robu pcb providing pcb at low & shipping is minmal
So I order for them at 10.55$
It will reach me in 20-25days

Add Graphics in PCB
once I am ready to order to the PCB I just reallize some thing in missing
this I got i not added any Graphics yet on the PCB
it really take time to choose once and 2nd don't aware about the photo converter in kicad
here before look-

here is after look-

Ensure the proper fitting
So to ensure the proper fitting of all the part inc. pcb, component and case properly Aligned
I assamble all the part togather in a fusion360 and Aligned
then I found the screw hole is mismatch and fix it
and run a render to take a look towoards a final model

Add 3D Simulation Components
so after finishing almost the PCB work. I found the there is no coponent in 3D view so I made a search what wrong with it.

-may be I disable the vision the 3d model simulation of componet
-there is no feature in kicad
-there is no 3d model there with the footprint
after After figuring out the issue That there is no 3D model available with the footprint So what I done I search for the 3D model of the Desired component And download Their .step file And uploaded with the footprint by double clicking on the component then i Found we also have Align the track With the pads So it looked prop in the simulation otherwise moving here and there Not at the place thenu I align all the component &
here you see how it looks

Redesign the CASE
so while i found some mistake in this cad file which can be become problem whie 3d printing
I found the Alignment in Cad file And the PCB
so after Detecting it I start fixing it So what I done here I take a screenshot of Pcb With the ten mm border And place it in Sketch So I am easily able to make a cut out for Buttons, Display and led matrix
here how it look-

2nd thing it look boaring so i add cover edges in display cut outs
and add add a 2mm uplifted board around the display
here is finally looks like

change the led
I added the wrong led. the led is given is by SK6812 MINI-E but i added SK6812 MINI.

but there is no footprint available on kicad so I search on Internet then I find this

SK6812 MINI-E footprint , but it show 99+ DRC error
To fix it I have to redesign the whole foot_print.
after that it look like that
