Preparing the project to ship!
i designed the clip for the hot air gun itself. i originally tried to use a .step 3d model of the thing but it was laggy and wouldnt work properly so i decided to just measure it and that turned out to be easier. and i also added a space for a magnet because it uses a reed switch to detect if its docked, and made the part that stops the cable from sliding off a seperate piece to make printing easier and to make it more rigid. ill print everything tmrw morning.
admins: i accidentaly left lapse on for like ~5 ish minutes without me doing anything so feel free to deduct them but pls dont im working for polaris consider it a small gift :)
i designed the thing that goes on the wall and holds the thing, i made it this way so its not stuck to the wall incase i need it somewhere else. i also began on making the attachment that winds the wire and holds the hot air gun itself, next devlog that should be finished, printed the main body and it needed a slight adjustment, now im reprinting it with less infill and walls because it doesnt need that much structural rigidity.
tried to add a power socket but realized its too big, anything smaller wont have an earth connector which is very important in something like this. so next devlog im going to be reverting to the idea of a built in cable
Designing most of the thing in CAD onshape. made the bulk of it, mainly just the hole shell and the way it attaches to it, i still need to add holes for the power cable and the earth plug thingy, and i also need to make a system for it to be able to easily attach and detach on my wall
