No record label cassette is worth playing more than once. I have a huge cassette collection of live radio, concerts and Blues shows in 3D binaural. The best use of a cassette today is in preserving what original content it may have on it.
Even though they didn’t work in this particular case, we think it’s a brilliant technique worthy of stealing further research. It looked awesome in his tests, but after the considerable sanding, priming, and painting it took to turn the 3D printed parts into a production-quality enclosure, the LEDs are no longer visible on the final product. came up with a very clever way of integrating light-up icons into the case by placing bright LEDs behind specially crafted thin sections of the print. This lets the finished player change the color of the RGB LEDs based on what it’s currently doing.
With the addition of a clever 3D printed holder, he was even able to add microswitches under the original player’s buttons so he could detect the player’s current state without having to modify the electronics. A portable tape player that started as a $5 find from the Goodwill is now an outrageously gorgeous piece of electronic art thanks to 3D printing and a liberal application of LEDs.Īfter freeing the tape mechanism from the original enclosure and extraneous electronics like the AM/FM tuner, got to work designing a retro styled enclosure for the hardware which would show off the complex electromechanical bits which would traditionally be hidden. Vinyl has the audiophiles to keep it relevant, and CDs still have the people who are scared of streaming music, but who mourns for the cassette tape? Yesterday we would have said nobody, but now that has unleashed his latest creation onto an unsuspecting world, we aren’t so sure anymore.
