The SpinConXD is an open source and community focused project to design and develop a low-cost DJ style controller with a capacitive touch platter. Contributions and feedback can be given on my Discord in the corresponding channel: Odware Designs Discord
(insert picture)
The SpinCon is receiving updates to the touch electrode design and physical revisions based on community feedback, the files will be posted once complete.

I print almost all of my parts at .28mm layer height "Draft" settings in Bambu Slicer, most of these parts are mechanical and aren't benefited by the longer print times and finer details of layer height settings like .08mm. However, for finer detail on exterior parts, especially sloped areas like the wrist rest, it is recommended to print in .08-.12mm layer heights to reduce the visual artifacts that may occur at larger heights.
Part orientations are shown below:
