Good night tonight. First off, I saw that Monkyman on astromech had posted a couple new models, including one for the Rear Logic Display frame, which I was just in the process of ordering. So I wound up printing it instead. Came out nice. Then I broke out my PC board for the RLD and started in to soldering as much stuff as I could without the LEDs which are still on a slow boat from China. It's been a while since I wielded a soldering iron, but I gotta say I'm pleased with the result:
Will be nice once the chips and LEDs show up so I can actually fire this sucker up and test it out. In the meantime, I can do the other boards as much as I can while I wait. Also, while I was soldering, I also printed out the RLD frame, which came out quite nice.
So off home with my new part and out with the file on the inner dome until I had a nice fit.
Still ordering the holoprojectors from Monkyman, so hopefully they'll show up soon and I can finish with the holes and secure the dome for good. Which reminds me, gotta do that radar eye lens...
