Half the brain's done. Baseplate was a 40-hour print. Top case was a 60-hour print. Hinges and plates were probably 20 hours combined. It's modular now; I need to do it all over again for the other half of the brain. Switching to those crimp d-subs was a galaxy brain move that I wish I'd thought of six months ago. Still took the better part of two days to connectorize. There's about 120 connections inside there. For some dumb reason SolidWorks refuses to output a PDF or EXS in anything resembling actual size. This is a problem as I print my paper dolls and rubber cement them to the 18x24" cutting boards that I'm using as side panels. I need to land three sensors in the entirely-too-packed tool changer, which means I'm going to have to model more of the tool changer. I also discovered that I didn't fully understand the way tool changes happen on the accessory spindle (it's been at a friend's house for a year while he gets around to making me an adapter) so I'm going to have to land another solenoid, too, as well as do some high-pressure shenanigans. Right now I have an extra three relay controls landing on my low-pressure 12-solenoid Festo valve manifold but I'm going to need an extra high-pressure valve. With any luck I can do a little rework on the adorable little breakout box I made to fit on the back (I have a pair of high-pressure solenoids fed from a GX12-4 and I can swap it out with a GX12-6) but shit's starting to get tight in there. Especially as I now need to put three 25-pin d-subs, a 15-pin d-sub, a six-terminal 3-way high voltage switch and three extra hall effect sensors up in there. "watchmaking." I also just committed to a year of radio advertising 'cuz it turns out when you're a DJ you get a good rate. Apparently no other DJ ever thought to look into this. With any luck, this will incentivize the station to answer me when I ask "so I need to do this on my website can you give me an answer please" because I'm four emails into them and the next thing I'ma do is call. Walking is hard. COVID really takes it out of me. Last Skinny Puppy show ever next Tuesday.
