Dome: complete

So tonight was the night to finish work on the dome. I mounted the lights inside the dome, and got everything together. There's a coupe of little bitty details, but I'm basically rocking.

I made a couple of these as mounts/diffusers for the front and rear PSIs. This one is the rear.

Here you can see the one for the front PSI. The diffuser is hot glued to the MDF ring; the blue tape is holding the PSI in place inside it.

Unfortunately (as you see here) I had accidentally put one of the ring holes right where the rear PSI is,so I had to attach the rear diffuser to the dome instead of the MDF ring. I'm using paint tape here, but that's just a temporary measure until I get some more permanent mount. Like duct tape.

It's all good, though. It came out looking nice:

Here, you can see the rear assembly. From left to right: rear PSI, rear holoprojector, rear logic display, and battery pack velcroed to the MDF ring so I can pop it off when I need to swap out the batteries.

The front assembly:  cable from rear logic display, the front logic displays, the front PSI, and front holoprojector.

And here's a video of it in action:

So, that's the dome. Not sure what's going to be next. I've got the frame coming, and will be getting a set of legs before long. I may just rest until they show up, concentrating on more 3D printing, but I'm nearly there. I might also do the skins, laser cutting them at the maker space. In any case, this is a pretty big milestone considering I only started about six weeks ago. In any case, I'm having a blast.
