Volumio Music Box - DIY Project

See Instructions and links to the components in the PDF Assembly instructions!

I wanted to build a small, kid-proof sound box that could store my old iTunes tracks and audiobooks, while also giving me the option to use streaming services like YouTube Music, Bandcamp, Spotify, and more.
After some research, I discovered Volumio. 
Volumio is a lightweight, Linux-based music player system that runs on devices like the Raspberry Pi. It allows you to play local music files, stream from services like Spotify or internet radio, and control everything via a web interface or touchscreen.

Based on this, I decided to build my own system.
The result is a compact, fully 3D-printed box that houses a Raspberry Pi, a sound driver, a speaker, a touchscreen display, and a rotary knob for control.
It works very well. The sound quality is good for its size and speaker, though not exceptional due to the compact form factor.

This guide provides an overview of the required hardware components, the 3D printing files, and a brief introduction to setting up Volumio.

Please note: setting up Volumio is easy but with additional services (such as YouTube Music or Bandcamp) can be a bit challenging. I won’t be able to provide detailed support for that part, but there is a large and active Volumio community that can help.


Difficulty: Not difficult I would say but you need to have some expertise in handling electronics and setting up software. The mechanical part is easy
