![]() ![]() But more importantly a new laser head for my K40 arrived. ![]() The first was a cheap ($20) blue tooth smart watch (I'm not sure what I will do with it), and a flow switch. Well today was a banner day! When I got home there were three little yellow envelopes with Chinese characters on them. My wife makes fun of me for all the "Chinese" packages I get in the mail. I am going to connect a usb to serial converter and then use it both power and program the clock. I now need to cut a square hole in the side of the box to accommodate the USB Female B connector. I printed them out with a shell thickness of 2mm and 40% infill. I simply scaled the whole drawing up by 10x, did the "follow me" then scaled back by 0.1 and all was good. So when I first drew them, I had done it scale and had some trouble with missing surfaces. Sketch up has trouble with "follow me" and features smaller than 1mm. I ended up drawing profiles and then using the follow me tool to spin it around a circle. Great program, but the learning curve can take a while til you figure out the best way to do things. It also took me a little bit to re-learn sketch up. To the right you can also see my PrinterBot Simple that I used to make the Delta. Below is an older photo of my bench at home, you can see the Delta in the foreground. I hadn't used the deltabot for while, so it took a day or two to get it dialed back in. So the thought was to do the same thing for the LED diffusers. I had printed out a box on my homemade deltabot using clear PLA and it worked out pretty good. A while back I had made a pretty cool RGB LED color cube, using WS2812B LEDS. If you look at the photos of the face plate there are two holes for LEDs.
