50% powered up! Accessories are up, now just fiddling with firmware and config file.
Next step, use the cardboard as templates to cut vinyl foam core with a hobby knife, use black duct tape or gaffers tape to join the edges, looks almost like some high tech carbon or something if you cut the tape nicely to fit. Vinyl foam core is usually prototyping material but it’s good for light weight easy to make fairly durable permanent case. It will take scratches on the surface, it’s fairly soft, but it is surprisingly tough to break (versus dent and bend fairly easily, firm press of a screw driver head will leave an imprint). It will protect your electronics better than cardboard while being super easy to score deeply and snap clean sections to make rectilinear forms quickly. Great for mounting fans directly to, it self threads from screws and dampens vibrations.
Thanks for the pro tip,I didn’t know where to go next on the case. Now I do
@kenneth_rooks did you get the heated bed working?
@kenneth_rooks I have a good supply of cardboard for stuff like first prototypes, there is simply no rational to use something more expensive than free cardboard for a first prototype to get things working, its modifiable on the fly into the exact size needed, to use as a template. Cutting something you paid for is a lot easier with a template that you know functions, I highly approve of cardboard!
@Jeremiah_Coley going to fire it up today after configuring the config file and firmware.
It’s wired up already
@kenneth_rooks right on, I’m rooting for you.
Noice!!!
