Easy DIY 3D Printed Vintage Style MP3 Player

In this video we are going to take a look at a vintage style 3d printed mp3 player radio. This design was inspired by the Zion Brock radio, even though no components are copied or shared.
Certainly check out his radio and channel to see how he went about his design. I realized I didn't talk about some of the "cool things" i mentioned. In his radio he spent time making a sort of static noise play like you were tuning an old radio. I thought this was a really nice touch! He also added things like an LED indicator light as well as a fake antenna.

The goal of this design clean soft lines and easy to use controls with enough sound/volume range for an elderly relative with failing hearing.

The core of the design is an Adafruit Feather MO Express board
