Big Mack Speech Device Replica

thingiverse

This is a work in progress replica of the Big Mack speech device. It is one large easy to press button that can play back messages recorded by the user or their care giver. I will try to create a tutorial on how to build it once the design is finalized but I can list the parts needed below as the electronics are pretty simple although it does require some soldering. I will also attach the Fusion files so it is easy to download and make your own modifications to the design. Feel free to remix/improve however you see fit. A lot of the smaller hardware is available at Ace Hardware or similar if you have one in your area.
