This is an Art Deco Style FM Radio Project I am building right now. It is not finished yet, but it will be completed in a few days. This design is a copy of a fantastic Art Deco Radio, the 1936 AWA Radiolette. You can see a photo of it attached here. 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. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kP_S3LuZBGA

3D printed Parts:
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. I used the following two filaments:
