This is a smaller Mixbox controller based on the original design by @MarshallSwann_620220. I love the look of the design created by Marshall Swann but I wanted to modify it to work with the equipment and hardware that I already have. Please see the “Differences of the remix” section for a detailed list of the changes made to this model. This remix can be printed on typical Ender 3 clones with a 220x220 print bed.

You will need: 

1 - Raspberry Pi Pico: https://amzn.to/3PYusdB 

13 - Mechanical Keyboard Switches: https://amzn.to/49zAAzU 

5 - 8mm Momentary Switches: https://amzn.to/43Ymuab 

6 - 12mm M3 bolts: https://amzn.to/49w6o8U 

1 - USBC Breakout: https://amzn.to/49v8CW7

And maybe some rubber feet for the bottom

Differences of the remix compared to the original

Overall width has been changed to 216mm. This allows printing on smaller printers like the Ender 3 and Voxelab Aquila.

Button hole size has been changed to 24mm diameter. This was done to accommodate a different printable arcade switch with a much tighter fit.

The bottom has been completely redesigned. This change eliminates the optional “shell” that was included with the original model but keeps the styling of the original design. The top body now fits inside the bottom body.

The 4 bolts that hold the device together have been changed to M3 bolts and can be threaded directly into the plastic if desired.

The USBC breakout mount has been altered to allow mounting with M3 bolts. No glue is required.

The standoffs for the Raspberry Pi Pico have been relocated and made longer. The longer standoffs can be melted to hold the Pi in place. 

The 5 menu buttons have been changed to a cheap 8mm momentary switch. I have also designed a switch riser plate to change the mounting depth.

The buttons included are also a remix. The original model was designed by DENKISUKITECH. https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/various/dbsf24-lite-a-k-a-24mm-arcade-button-casing-for-cherrymx-style-switch

The button housings have been modified to make the top ring flatter and low-profile.

The button caps used are designed by Rana Labs. https://github.com/rana-sylvatica/OFOF1/tree/main/Buttons
