CAD Modelling + More Research on Parts
This devlog is being created unfortunately a significant time after recording (maybe a day and night cause I thought the recording was lost then I was busy the entire day :C)
But basically I began with more research; I’m aiming to submit my project ASAP so I can quickly get the funding to build it, even if not fully complete! (All on my general recordings sheet, where I write down all of my ideas/general summaries/to-do lists corresponding to my project progress!)
The CAD began as well; I needed to take some measurements of the LEDs. I landed on a 5’‘x5’’ design before ultimately switching to a 6’‘x6’’ (for easier divisibility, and to make an awesome MEGA CUBE!!!)
I began with mapping out a 3x3 cube and extruding by 0.2 inches on both sides, before ultimately filleting each side by 0.2 so that each cube would have this kinda cool elevated design! I then started cutting out inserts for the LEDs and filleting the insides (to easily insert the LEDs)… but then I realized I did the conversions wrong (Imperial units am I right 💀) soo had to redo all of that… then researched 3D printing on JLCPCB… I’d need to choose a fast delivery option to get it in time :( I really hope I do! But I need to add supports ASAP, and lock in to ship as soon as able… thank you for reading and any feedback/tips are greatly appreciated!!
