Welcome to the Rockbox Technical Forums!
Here: http://lyre.sourceforge.net/Currently I am trying to build my own 3D printer based on RepRap, to be able to print a plastic enclosure for the Mini2440 board.And about portable device, Opendous is still working on it and have good advances: http://code.google.com/p/opendous/wiki/LPC313x_DIP_Board
have you considerd just making a clay or wood negativeand vacuforming a case for it?then sending it ff to a CNC place to have it made in metaland then finialy made into an injection mold?

Would be easy for me if I could read and see pictures, example of such works...
OK .... I've been using Rockbox for a few years and never saw this topic till today ... this looks fantastic.. I'm amazed ....i have two questions1: can somebody give me a summary of where this project is?? has it gotten to a point where its just about ordering hardware and putting it together or still in heavy development??
Ok Wow .... your doing wonderful work .... how long before you have a wiki up on how someone with only a little build experience can do this....When will there be a test on the ATA interface??Also is the any thought of designing it with a passive RCA output for home stereo?

The software driver for it should be easy. I'm not sure what a line output entails, since I don't know much about analog design. If it is just a question of a suitable connector, that can be arranged.Otherwise the major pieces of work missing are USB to enable data transfer and a suitable enclosure.
what about a battery management control chip?

casainho, what media is your Reprap using? It looks like hot glue with air pockets. It does look interesting.
