hungariantoast Link ParentThanks, and yeah, I couldn't imagine doing a project like this without 3D printing. Being able to iterate -> print -> review so quickly makes it much easier, and a much nicer experience, to build...Thanks, and yeah, I couldn't imagine doing a project like this without 3D printing.

hungariantoast Link ParentIt might be a bad idea. I am not doing anything special to secure them. I have not had any issues with the screws being insecure. Maybe it will be an issue after a few years of daily use?...It might be a bad idea. I am not doing anything special to secure them. I have not had any issues with the screws being insecure.

Definitely something to think about and improve in future designs though.

There is a specific pair of wireless earbuds that I like because they are relatively cheap, low latency (good codec support), and sound good. Unfortunately, the plastic shells of the earbuds are glued together and inevitably that glue fails and the earbuds come apart. I could just re-glue them, except that...
The batteries also eventually fail and need to be replaced. If I re-glue the earbuds back together, getting them apart in the future to replace the batteries would be a nightmare.
So I designed and 3D printed my own shells for the earbuds. The shells are assembled using micro screws instead of glue, making them easy to take apart and access the components inside. I'm proud of how they turned out. The 3D printed shells are generally the same shape as the originals, they sound just as good, still fit in the same charging case, but now they're more repairable.
The only downside is that the 3D printed shells are not waterproof. That's not a big con for me though because I never used them near water anyways. I could probably make them waterproof if I wanted to spend more time on it.
Another nice benefit of designing my own shells for the earbuds is I get more choices for what batteries to put inside them. I was able to fit slightly larger (capacity, not dimensions) batteries so now they last longer between charges and should take longer to degrade.
It was a fun project that exercised a lot of CAD skills that I let atrophy over the years, and the end result is a significantly better item than what I started with.
In the future I would like to re-design the charging case so I can experiment more with the shape of the earbud shells. I'd also like to design some system for charging the earbuds while they're in-use, outside of their charging case. Current idea is to add a second, "exterior" set of magnetic charging pads onto the earbud shells, then make some very thin wires that can plug into the charging case on one side, and have prongs that magnetically attach to the earbuds on the other. Maybe not the most practical idea, but I think it would be cool. I think the most difficult part would be figuring out how to make the earbuds not automatically disconnect when the cables attach to the exterior charging pads, while preserving the earbuds' automatic disconnect when the interior charging pads attach inside the charging case.
Of course, thinking about how to solve that automatic disconnect issue makes me consider the firmware the earbuds are running, and gee, that PCB really doesn't look that complicated. Maybe I could design my own PCB? Write my own firmware? Implement my own codec support? And so the fanciful dreaming begins as the practical ideas end.

<textarea>element is not a good reason to dismiss or de-form it.As for the term "ASCII art", it is often used as a catch-all for any text art, and under that usage the art on this website would qualify.
Were you to adhere to a stricter definition of "ASCII art" though, then you might instead say that the art on this webiste is "textmode art" or just "text art".
If you want to learn more about textmode art and its various kinds, you can read this blog post by Polyducks, though note that it's not completely authoritative (I certainly don't agree with all of it):

My bad. I either didn't realize the link to that specific section was intentional or, because of the formatting, didn't realize it was a link to a specific section at all, and I've slept since then, so I don't remember which it was ;)
Thanks for letting me know, and thanks @mycketforvirrad for fixing it
