Creating a Laser Cut Raspberry Pi Pico Case Using FreeCAD, Inkscape and LightBurn

Learn to design and create a wooden laser cut enclosure for a Raspberry Pi Pico-based model railway points controller in this detailed video tutorial. Follow along with the complete design process using FreeCAD for computer-aided design, Inkscape for vector drawing, and LightBurn for laser cutter control. Master various techniques for adding component holes, text, and etchings while working with both free open-source and commercial software. The comprehensive walkthrough covers box design with a sloping top, implementing interlocking tabs, creating holes using multiple methods, and managing the workflow between different software tools. Through clearly organized chapters, explore everything from initial design in FreeCAD's LC Interlocking workbench to final adjustments across all three platforms, ultimately creating a professional enclosure that houses PCBs and electronics for controlling model railway solenoids.
