 ====== The Job ======
-I plan to make a new case for my Pi 4B and 5" touchscreen, modelled on the old scavenged housing I currently use with a PI 2B and the same screen. Perhaps not the best case shape, but I have grown attached to it. The end result will be used as a digimode radio headend for an otherwise headless ICON 7100 radio, and occasional retroPi gaming device.
+I plan to bundle at Pi 4B and 5" touchscreen in a neat package for a few specific uses that tie into my hobbies. The end result will be used as a digimode radio headend for an otherwise headless ICOM 7100 radio, and occasional retroPi gaming device. I planning to use <del>Kali Rolling 2020.1</del> Debian Buster (plus the hamradio metapackages) and RetroPi OSs. The case will be modelled on an old 90's scavenged serial-to-ethernet adaptor housing I have previously used with a PI 2B and the same screen. Perhaps not the best case shape, but I have grown attached to it.

+Starting with my trusty OpenSCAD template, I found that I was able to use combined minkowski functions to get the two types of edge bevelling needed for the look. Like all my OpenSCAD models, it's all based on primitive objects tied to variables, so I can modify the parameters to fit the hardware very easily (e.g. to fit UPS, batteries etc).
