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

CR, I know how long an intricate and small cut like that PSU plug takes. And holy moly does it look good! That touch is a seriously nice add-on. Very small touch and might not be noticeable to the naked eye, but it was/is a GREAT idea!

Do you have an ETA for primer on the whole of the case yet?

Just to let you the wires are not interchangable. In an AC ciruit with 3 pins there is a Hot, neutral and ground. The hot and the neutral can be interchanged even though they will work in both directions. If there is a short in the power supply you can get a nasty shock if the hot and neutral wires are interchanged. Just make sure you got black to black, white to white, and green to green.
