Chinees CW decoder Morse code reader with 1602 LCD Enclosure

CW decoder, Morse code reader with 1602 LCD Enclosure

This is a perfect fit housing for the Chinees Amazon, Aliexpress, TEMO etc. CW decoder or Morse decoder with the 1602LCD screen.

I will add a stand as well for the case, but for now its the full casing consisting a front housing where the LCD and PCB fit in, a back cover with 4 screws and a button.

The screws I used are 2 mm thick and 10 long, but the can be longer if needed. Actually 1,5 cm would be better.

The LCD of the unit can be detached and the pins should be shortened a bit to make it fit the housing. This was needed to make the red button protrude far enough to be able to use it.

I designed it for a Anycubic S 3D printer with a small margin of .1 to .2mm to make everything fit.

I printed the housing 4 times to obtain the correct location for all the components.

I have created extra room for the USB C connector to for the connectors cover, the USB C was mounted a bit deeper on the PCB.

The front part shall be printed face down, it could be that you need to rotate in Cura.

The back plate shall also be printed with the back down (flat part)
it could be that you need to rotate in Cura.

To assemble the unit in the housing, first place the LCD in the opening, then put the printed button in its place and fit the PCB in the LCD connector while checking to make the red button protrude trought the opening.

It all should fit and you can place the back part and tighten it with the 4 screws.

I always use PETG since it has a better flammability rating compared to PLA.

You can use youre own setting, which you like, although I recommend a BRIM to avoid warping.

PETG 250Degrees with a 80 degrees plate.
