OK ladies and germs, here we go....
Not much of an update today, but I promised I'd get something out this week.
This piece has been kicking my butt all week.
Hopefully you can kinda see where I'm going with this. I have to sand down all the
bondo in between all the fins, for one. The problem is, it's very difficult to do by hand.
I used a dremel with this attachment,
But that left a rough finish. Btw I know that's not the designed use for that attachment,
but it actually worked really great for that. I still use it, but only to take the bondo
down a little, not all the way.
I have come up with a potential solution to this problem, a simple block of wood,
sanded to the size to get in between the fins.
Here's the other problem area.
I am trying to get a smooth transition between the plastic cover for the front header,
and the rest of the cover. This really is the area I am having the most trouble with. I
can't quite figure out how to attain the look I'm going for.
I'm thinkin I will just take a break from this part and work on a different area for a
while....
Here is the front of the minicase. The plastic there is cut off the front bezel from the
second case.
Here is the piece I am thinking I will attach here.
I know it seems a bit odd, or backwards to attach the bottom piece here. My reasoning
for that is twofold; one, I it will make the plastic level with the front of the Koolance
unit. Two, it is longer, so it comes down to about where I want it. One other thing (ok
so it's threefold) is this gap will be a great spot to mount this remote control reciever
that came with my Hauppauge tv tuner.
One other thing, got a surprise in the mail today, the data cable I ordered. It's a usb to
serial cable. I have to give a quick shout out to bestlinknetware.com. I searched and
searched for this cable, and I would find a 12" one for $13, but the wouldn't work.
Then I would find a 6' cable for $30 plus. That wouldn't work either lol. Plus, they were
all blue. Yeah, so, anyway..... But this site had this cable, in black, 40" long, and for 8
bucks. Oh hell yeah. And it got here really quick, I was surprised! [/schelling].
This cable is for my servo controller, when it comes on Monday.
So that's all for today. I was hoping to show some more definitive progress, sorry guys.
