The Intelligence - Day 35.5 - mini update

was in the mood and had some energy left to do some modding this evening so I did a few quick odds and ends that needed doing...

If you recall, I mentioned I cut this opening too short when I cut it originally, so I marked off the are that needed to go and threw it on the scroll saw



this piece is going to become the trim piece for the switch panel. The other day I used a file to rough-round the corners, so today I did a little sanding with 400 to start smoothing it out. I have to get some higher grits to give it a decent finish. I have to do that before I cut its center away, leaving a 1/4" trim piece ( basically shaped like this []) with very little structural integrity.

needed to trim away some of the rear vent trim. you might remember the attempt at an elaborate jig from a while back, this time I said screw it and just went commando, er I mean, free-hand

not too bad but a little ugly

first round of rough filing made it look better.

I will file it some more, then sand it all down, then bond the ring closed. Once thats done I will have to cut away various bits to make way for a couple items on the back of the case that encroach the ring face (ie the power connector, the lid trim, etc) If it turns into phail I will simply trim off the ring altogether and just have a straight tube, the only problem then will be how to mount it to the case. I dont wan to have to permanently bond this to the case. Its still a work in progress I guess


Anyway, thanks for watching
