I assembled the LED array, which included a switch and multiple LEDs, and addressed a short circuit issue that caused overheating. Although this mini project did not become the universal amplifier I intended, I may explore the idea further in the future.
I designed a new case for the remote's PCB to accommodate the LED array, focusing tube, and a rechargeable battery mount, but the model was too large for my print bed. After printing part of the front, I found the remote's PCB did not fit properly, so I decided to set the project aside for the day.
I corrected an error in the model that made the PCB socket too narrow and reprinted it in two parts. I adhered the pieces with liquid resin and fused them with a laser before curing. I assembled the LED array, documented the updated schematic with five header leads for troubleshooting, and exposed the power and transistor leads for connection to a microcontroller.
The battery holder on top of my pipe blocked the infrared sensor in the screen mount, complicating the design. To resolve this, I reconfigured the rail to combine it with the battery pack, extending it and adding holes to secure the pipe to the top. I've modeled the Weaver rail version but not the NERF version yet.
I repeated the change to make a battery holder that interfaced between a NERF rail and the chassis tube. I should have done this version first since all the dart guns I will convert were NERF. I printed one copy of the Weaver version, but it failed because I angled it wrong in the slicing software.
Ed and Dash from First Impressions returned to discuss Wicked for Good. After covering the first movie and its soundtrack in earlier shows, we lamented the second installment and discussed what could have been done better. We also pondered crossovers from Batman to Beetlejuice. I rated the movie 3/5 stars for its middling quality, though the costumes were fantastic.
The rest of the summary posts have been arranged by date.
