**🧭 Master Control - One Disk To Control it All**

I’m incredibly excited to finally share the Master Control Disk — a project that has taken me months of designing, tweaking, printing, soldering, and refining. It’s easily the most ambitious and satisfying build I’ve ever created.
Smooth lighting, a responsive touchscreen interface, a clean printable shell, and a custom Python program all come together to create a futuristic, functional control surface you can proudly display on your desk.

**✅ Features:**

- 🔵 Dual Addressable LED Rings — vibrant effects, ambient animations, and customizable lighting modes
- 🖥️ Interactive Touchscreen — Waveshare display for menus, widgets, settings, and real-time feedback
- 🐍 Included Python Program — with easy setup script
- 🖨️ Printable 3MF File — parts designed for easy prints and smooth assembly
- 📘 Included Build Guide — wiring, printing, assembly, coding
- 🛠️ Full Parts List — all components required to build the disk from start to finish

**✨ Maker’s Note:**
This project wasn’t simple — you’ll need to learn a bit of electronics, soldering, and programming to bring it to life.
But here’s the fun part: I started this with absolutely no experience in soldering, electronics, or coding, and I still managed to build the entire thing from scratch.
It became one of the most rewarding and genuinely enjoyable learning experiences I’ve had, and I hope it gives you the same sense of challenge, creativity, and accomplishment.

Heads up: this print was made for 256x256 or bigger build plates.

- All the small pieces, including magnets attach to house and house back in pre-printed holes/slots. Use a little of your fabvorite glue to hold them together. 
- The trees can be attached in either direction (you will see there is a long side and short side). They were designed that the long side attaches to the front of the house, but either way works.
- I originally attached small pieces of speaker fabric to the window pains, but realized it is much easier to glue the window pains and front door to the house, THEN add a piece of speaker fabric (or any colored fabric) behind the openings to the inside of the house.  there is less trimming required doing it this way. Just lay the fabric on the inside of the house and drop a small dab of CA glue to the 4 corners. 
- Watch A video by Perry Daniels here: https://youtu.be/xFWc0rc6z2A?si=k8WPE99ABQhDyO57 to assemble the MP3 player for the internals of the radio. It is the video that inspired me to build this. Give him a like and subscribe while you're there! 
- The Amplifier board is designed to sit on the shelf and use a glue gun to hold it in place. Speaker fits snuggly in behind the left window and held in with glue gun. The mp3 board can be glued to the base of the house. Remember to place the mp3 board towards the front of the house to ensure you have enough flexibility in the power cord to run through the hole in the House Back.
