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.)
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.
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.
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 backโฆ are the screws going to run into each other in the middle?
do you like reading a listing full of "the wall plug can break off the main body of the charger exposing the internal wires" and "the power bank may overheat and catch fire" for Comsol and Keji products?
@buzzyrobin because of how they process knowledge, the robots don't know that unless they're presented with a great many specific examples of it. honestly they're pretty crummy robots, it's kind of pathetic that they're inevitably going to defeat us
congratulations. thanks to the cool tech zone forums, i have now involuntarily dredged up a bunch of php security muscle memory; i hope you're all proud of yourselves.
(Joking aside: it's lovely; big props to @ec0 for this forum signature)
