So I wanted to give a friend the 3D printed companion cube as a birthday gift, but I figured that just the cube by itself would be rather boring. Instead, why not add some audio functionality to the cube to make it a bit more impressive? And so I did. As I came up with this project idea only three weeks before the deadline, I was in a bit of a rush to get things working. As such, designing and ordering a custom PCB was out of the question. Instead of using a custom PCB, I came up with a stacking design using Adafruit’s perma-protoboards that would fit inside of the cube’s frame while still allowing enough real estate for all the components. As the frame was slightly smaller than the protoboards, I had to file the edges of the protoboards down a bit to get them to fit. The upside to this design was that I was able to achieve an extremely snug fit that should be pretty resistant to drops.
