I have been wanting to play with Picroft, but wasn't ready to drop $60+ on the Respeaker v2 until I knew if Mycroft would suit my needs. This is a small printed enclosure that holds a Raspberry Pi 3B, speaker, and a 2 mic array. The mic I used is a bit sensitive to background noise, so I may look into putting a piece of foam into the mic holes on the lid to help with hotword detection.

Printed with Polymaker transparent PETG so the LEDs can shine through.

Use support blockers on the insides of the speaker standoffs or you're going to have a bad time.
