First off, I started printing more of the battery harness assemblies, got the last 3 done. Since it was open house, I brought the dome and put it up to show off. While the prints were going, I busied myself soldering the front and rear PSIs:
All nice and done. Then I glue-gunned the MDF ring inside the dome, and then added the "pie slices" and the mounting rings for the holoprojectors. Here's one with the projector mounted inside:
(Incidentally, if you've never used a glue gun before, that stuff dries fast. Like in seconds. So it's a race to dab it everywhere then position your part before the stuff hardens.)
I'm going to put some spacers on the back of the mounting rings before attaching the back mounts to them, so they have a little wiggle room for repositioning.Which pretty much leaves the lighting system.
Fortunately, when I got home, I discovered that both my LED controllers and my 5-pin jumper wires showed up. So once work is over tomorrow, I should be able to program my arduino with the R2 sketch and then do the initial smoke test.
If everything works out, I may just have the dome complete by the end of the month. Cool.
