I started modeling a screen holder that I could mount to the top of a tagger or accessory rail. The unit had a 30° angle on each side, but I want to make that adjustable. The other side will have an infrared receiver.
The screen half of the module was nearly complete. I buckled down and created geometry that would follow the device's angle perfectly. When I finished, I realized that all the trigonometry I used was significantly more difficult than reusing the hull() function that I had used for the exterior. I will go back and make it hollow more elegantly.
I took a second pass at hollowing out the interior by using the hull() function, and it worked smoothly. I added some bolt stalks to mount it to the bottom, which I still have to model, and printed a copy with a 30° angle. I needed to tidy up the screen footprint and clean up some code, but it mostly worked.
I ironed out some of the messy details of the screen holder model and then started on the bottom. I started with a flat bottom that had eight holes in four sizes. The different diameters were the same as the bolts used to connect with extruded aluminum bars.
I devised, revised, and printed a pair of straps that connect the screen unit to the outside of a pipe. I have attached the 3D-printed components and taken a rotating shot of the tagger.
We discussed Independence Day from 1996. There were plenty of good things to say about the movie, and plenty of criticisms. We welcomed Sabrina, who was promoting charities through live streaming.
