manufacturing is great content bc u can just post comical amounts of otherwise boring parts and people go mad for it

buzzyrobin,
@buzzyrobin@chaos.social avatar

@jacqueline wait until they see the order that just dispatched from that uk company

@jacqueline [mentally inserts enamel-scratched-by-metal sounds] sure

adjusting some clearances for a better fit

alright, finally updated my dev unit with the newer case revision, to match the updated production PCBs

(Printed in translucent PLA, with some honeycomb infill and some carefully-reoriented rectilinear top and bottom layers; done while I wait for the real polycarbonate cases to show up.)

Back side, diagonal patterns, with a battery and battery retainer (of sorts) kinda visible through it.

On a related note: it feels really good to get the FreeCAD port (the source of truth going forward, shifting over from @ErinRose's excellent efforts in Fusion) done with reference PCBs, fittings, and fixings, with the technical drawings (to make sure the tolerances are dialled in) the only important part still in flight.

As the previous pic, but with the front case-half removed, showing the faceplate PCB, a bit of the main PCB underneath, and the 6mm standoffs separating them.
As the previous pic, but with the faceplate PCB removed, showing the main PCB underneath, the switch on the opposite, more of the SD card cap, and the screws poking through from the back.
As before, but just the outer shell, showing some of the inner details (such as the inner pockets allowing the buttons to be pressed and the switch to slide).

satisfying brain-scratching noodling from the weekend + earlier:

(I am very new at these, and am going to keep devouring whatever reference material and examples I can scrounge. Also, you 1st Angle vs 3rd Angle culture war people need to take a chill pill.)

PS: vaguely similar examples welcome; I've been cribbing from diagrams that come with enclosures people sell, and a bunch of unrelated diagrams for things that are not really this kind of shape.

PPS: fuck ISO and ASME for putting industry communication standards behind paywalls.

PPPS: I am still mildly in disbelief that we Do Real Business Things but have a logo that is wordart.

PPPPS: @ErinRose did the cut-away detail-zoom of the screw hole in this drawing, and also, like, the big Fusion rework of the case model that I've since been recreating in FreeCAD (https://git.sr.ht/~jacqueline/tangara-hw/tree/main/item/case), and I retrospectively feel weird only putting my name in the 'Created By'. I will sort this out.

Fun things about manufacturing physical things: considering all the permutations in variances in tolerance

eg. if the screw-holes are 0.1mm larger than model, and the screws are 0.13mm longer than model, and then repeat this for the front and back… are the screws going to run into each other in the middle?

it’s 100% a psychological thing but i do think music from my tangara sounds better than other sources

i’m pretty happy with my current mouse, but i think i would like it even more if it had an extra button ‘for ai’. please tech companies invent this key innovation

@jacqueline bind the AI to this button

why does find(1) have such weird-looking arguments. why is it different from everything else. what were they doing

buzzyrobin,
@buzzyrobin@chaos.social avatar

@jacqueline now look up ( )s and -or in its man page

do you currently have a job that feels stable / secure, looking forward into the next 5 or so years?

it feels a bit silly to come up with a whole Label System when i currently have a total of two (2) small cartons of production stuff. but seems better to start doing it earlier than i need than later than i need

buzzyrobin,
@buzzyrobin@chaos.social avatar

@jacqueline better now than when you need to figure out why seven tangaras are suddenly having a bad time and you have no idea which bits went into what

for those continuing to play along at home, this is 32 displays. a hair under 250 grams.

easy to store, not very heavy, and a moderate amount of space. a real winner for bulk ordering!

kicking the tyres on sourcehut releases https://codeberg.org/cool-tech-zone/tangara-fw/releases/tag/v0.9.0

they seem fine so far! tho it is a bit awkward that i attached the build artifact by downloading it from a sourcehut build page then reuploading it to codeberg manually. it would be nice to automate this in a way that's also auditable

the polycule has standardised on brother p-touch TZe tape

@jacqueline
couldn't standardise on canon vs nikon.
standardised on something more important.

Mini project! getting out of bed, taking my pills and feeding the cats (not pictured)

buzzyrobin,
@buzzyrobin@chaos.social avatar

@jacqueline oh okay then

Same cats, different arrangement.
wow same. (Bonnie’s face is now visible.)
Jojo, and Annie the nervous white calico in the background, licking her own butt.
