The Intelligence - Day 21
cut open the extra power cable I had and it indeed had a black, green, and whit wire. Green appaers to be at the top of triangle like the others, so all is good
might as well get the opening cut for the power
its gonna be a tight fit, I will need to trim the psu blowhole rim (triangular notch) but luckily this piece fit at all, since it wasnt planned for. Thats the piece with all the holes drilled and the low rise black oxide allen screws (6-32) put thru for your viewing pleasure
needed to cut out the area where the white dials will go, used the inner handle bracket (reinforcer) as a template. This cut will also be done in the black acrylic, and I will make two sets of identical 3-dial racks
horizontal cuts done so far (sorry blurry)
cut out complete. the dremel nick will be hidden by the black acrylic bezel I make, but I can also fill it with body filler before I prime the case
hinge action. since the few different types I bought (alu piano, steel square, alu square) dont allow for the case trims, I decided to use the original hinge material, so I needed to cut it down to size
I will figure out how to keep the pin in place, and I will orient them so that the lid doesnt fall off (downward) when the case is opened while upright
set up a fence on the scroll saw (set to 1/4") so I could trim the case feet I bought...
foot 1, all ready...
like butter
did all 4 then filed the cuts to even everything out
these cuts had my right thumb within 1/4" of the moving blade
but the scroll saw is so "tender" of a tool there was no worry or concern
Theres the final feets
I know, I know - as I look at the update I think the same thing as you... "what the f takes so long, why so little work?" Gah, each thing is like a mini project with one mistep being fatal to the whole project. Thats really the story with that. I think those cuts were the final metal cuts, so I can concentrate on finishing up the spot fills, and spot priming, then begin on the full priming and paint
tomr more
thanks
