Caution

I will assume no responsibility for any cost, damage, or sads resulting from trying to make one of my dumb projects. This project has no implicit support, neither moral nor technical.

I'm not a doctor. This is not medical advice. I'm also only a network engineer. You assume all liability in using or reproducing these files.

PCB:

Note

Version 1 was produced (as prototype 1) without any identified issues. The gerbers were regenerated to indicate version 1 on the silk and have retained the original BOM and positions files. I have not produced these files yet, but they should be good to go.

• PCB gerbers .zip file
• BOM .csv file
• Positions .csv file

Firmware:

• VIAL Firmware .bin file

Build Notes:

I have made with FDM to good effect.

Additional materials:

• About 16" of .139" (3.53mm) cross section o-ring cord like this 50A cord or this 70A cord; if you don't want to buy bulk cord, you can cut up an o-ring of like 6" or bigger diameter.
• 4 SKUF feet like these like these.

Build instructions:

1. Apply feet to the cutouts.
2. Install stabs if you're into that.
3. Install switches into the plate and PCB.
4. Solder it up.
5. Friction fit the o-ring cord between the plate and PCB in the positions highlighted in red:

6. Insert the assembled PCB USB port first into the case at an angle, aligning the port with the cutout.
7. Press the top of the PCB in place, then press in the bottom side (if your cord isn't fully seated, sticks out on the corners, or otherwise catches going in, grab some tweezers and help it stay in between the plate and PCB).
8. If you need to remove the PCB, pull a few caps off and use a switch puller on the soldered switches.
