The Hotline from Control

Description

Description ==================== The Hotline from Remedy Entertainments 2019 game "Control". I have included two options for the Base and Handset. One option comes with holes for various electronics, buttons, and switching mechanisms and the other does not and would be good for editing in holes yourself for a different configuration of electronics or for a non-electronic version. File Descriptions ==================== - HotlineBaseTopWithoutHoles - this is the version of the base of the hotline that *does not* have predesigned holes for electronics - HotlineBaseTopWithHoles - this is the version of the base of the hotline that comes predesigned with holes for electronics. It includes a hole in the dial on the front for a 6mm circular tactile button, A hole in the back for an RJ22 jack for phone handset cords, and a hole near the receiver that is meant to trigger a micro NC switch in the base (will detail the electronic I used below) - Handset - this is the version of the Handset that does not come with a hole for a RJ22 jack. It does include space for electronic wiring still - HandsetWithJackHole - this version of the Handset comes predesigned with a hole for a RJ22 jack - HandsetCaps - the caps that go on each end of the handset - Plunger - this part is designed to work with the HotlineBaseTopWithHoles. It goes near the receiver that holds the Handset and it is meant to trigger a micro NC switch in the base when the handset is placed down on it - PlungerBase - this part is attached to the end of the plunger that protrudes into the base. It allows the micro NC switch to be attached to the wall of the inside of the base and still be triggered - BaseBottomWithAccessDoorAssembly - this part goes on the bottom the HotlineBaseTop and includes a frame that the AssemblyDoor snaps into to allow access to the Hollow insides of the base - Hotline All Files Displayed - this file is just for presentation purposes and can be ignored, but could be useful if needing to resize all parts at once Suggested Electronics and Assembly ============================ This was my solution for adding electronics to the Hotline. I tried the design the files to allow enough room for different configurations, but for bigger sound boards and speakers configurations the hollowed-out portion on the inside of the base might need to be bigger.

If you are not using electronics you can omit most of the steps below! ### Note for electronics beginners I will assume here that if you are using electronics you have some basic electronics and soldering knowledge. I do think that this is a beginner-level project, but In these instructions, I won't be explaining everything on a beginner level. If you would like some more in-depth tutorials Adafruit is a great resource to learn 1. Print and finish all models. My finishing process is to remove supports and any large bumps and print lines by sanding and filing, cover the model in spot putty, and sand the model with at least 3 levels of sanding (220, 400, 600 is what I usually do). Prime with sandable filler primer, wet sand with 600 grit sandpaper 2. Fit and Secure RJ22 jacks in place. I used hot glue to secure them from the back 3. Test fit plunger making sure that it can freely travel up and down. If it is getting stuck you might need to take some material off by sanding or filing 4. Test fit circular tactile button in the dial making sure it fits snuggly and does not get pushed down into the hole when being pressed. If this is a bit loose try padding with some electrical tape at installation time or perhaps hot glue, but take care to not impede the function of the button 5. Paint the models. I used Rustoleum Glossy Cherry red, make sure to read the instructions carefully as applying coats too quickly can ruin it (I know because it happened to me). So save yourself some sanding and repainting by following the instructions on the back 6. Solder battery box to the FX board (for help with this board adafruit has a great tutorial on their site [here](https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-audio-fx-sound-board/overview) 7. Solder wires to tactile button leads and place within the hole in dial and secure 8. Solder wires to NC Switch leads, Common goes to ground, NC to the board. This enables the sound effect to trigger when the phone is picked up 9. place the plunger in the receiver and glue the base onto it. The base should fit easily into the inside corner of the base 10. Glue the NC switch to the wall such that the plunger base and push down on the lever when the plunger is moved down. The closer to the tip of the lever the plunger base hits the less pressure will be needed to trigger the button. It is a good idea to test this out before committing to gluing it 11. Solder the button and switch leads to the FX Board and attach the 50mm 2W speaker to one of the amp channels 12. Run the wires up for the other speaker up to the handset. Theoretically, you could solder the wires for the handset speaker from the board to the RJ22 jack and in fact, that is what I had in mind during design, however, I couldn't get that to work. What I ended up doing instead was drilling a hole in the back of the jack running the wires through the center of the coiled handset cord and doing the same for the jack in the handset. If you choose to do this you can disguise the wires with electrical tape near the jacks to make it look more seamless. I also had to file down the top of both ends of the RJ22 connectors to allow room for the wires while still allowing the connector to fit inside the jack 13. Glue the 8Ohm speaker to the inside of one of the handset caps. Run the wires through the hollowed-out tunnel in the handset and attach to the speaker 14. Secure all electronic with ample amounts of hot glue so that they don't move 15. Glue the Handset caps on the handset 16. Glue the bottom on the base 17. Snap the AssemblyDoor into the frame Again this is just the process I followed you may need to alter, add, and omit steps to fit your specific use case! I hope this is helpful and have fun creating!!
