Description
This is an Art Deco Style FM Radio Project which uses an Arduino as its brain. This design is a copy of a fantastic Art Deco Radio, the 1936 AWA Radiolette. No matter how hard I tried, I didn't manage to discover who the designer of this fantastic radio was.
I have published a detailed video on my YouTube channel about this project and how I built it.

3D printed Parts:
Wood Filament â–¶ http://educ8s.tv/part/WoodFilament
I printed all the parts with regular PLA to test if everything fits and the enclosure look great.
Then I printed the enclosure using Wood Filament.
