Hi !
Sharing my second tangara build, for myself this time :
I don't often listen to music on my own... but now I'll want to ! Need to sort my library with beets first.
also some notes on the touchwheel :
TLDR : reducing the pad of the TouchPad to 0.3mm and printing with a 0.15mm PET filament on a Prusa MK3S works, though it is less fluid than with the PCB.
Long version : I didn't want to have the green PCB slice and printed a touchpad instead from the FreeCAD files. I tried different settings, and many times the printed pad was too thick. The printer is a Prusa MK3s. the thickness in Freecad drawing is 0.58mm. I used PET with diverse filament settings : 0.05mm, 0.07mm, 0.015mm. They all ended up to be around 0.8mm, which doesn't really fit in the case and doesn't work well with touch even with raised sensitivity. I solved this by reducing the thickness in the freecad drawing to 0.3mm, and printing it with a 0.15mm filament ; and it made a 0.5mm plastic sheet that works good enough though less fluid than PCB.
I may cut some soft plastic pieces from old school notebook covers to try, their thickness seem to be ok.
Also sharing pictures of the first build I made and gifted (now that I noticed the notification saying max pictures size is 500kb...) :
