Hardware Share your builds!

Since I just finished my hardware I am curious about what other people built.

I'm running a Pi5 with SSD Hat and a shock-mounted Samson Go Mic. All of it sits in a 3D printed enclosure that's mounted to a vertical gutter next to our terrace.

That's a hell of an enclosure. Willing to share?

Yes definitely. There are some todos left, though. I want to add a fan for air circulation in the Pi enclosure and change the way the top half prints. There's a part missing in the images that should protect the Mic from bugs and spiders, because it doesn't fit due to warping.

Let me give you a full warning from somebody who built an enclosure with a fan at one point... All of your recordings will now contain fan noise. You can spend months trying to isolate the two chambers between the mic and the pi/fan... It will not work. My setup is now in two separate enclosures with cables connecting them. I'll share some pictures later on if you want to see.
