Printed parts

Tinycorder enclosure STL set — Four STL files are linked in the repository STL directory. Repository metadata declares GPL-3.0, but no separate hardware/model license notice was found; review scope before redistribution or commercial printing.

Notes

Verified against the creator repository README, BOM.xls, Spanish assembly guide and STL index at immutable source commit a584f0932e5e337202a9bf4de502ccac8495705b on 2026-10-22. The published BOM, quantity column, wiring/assembly sequence and four enclosure files cover the critical components and fabrication steps. The repository is GPL-3.0; printable-file reuse should preserve that license and source obligations.
