DEVLOG #3

I almost printed this with one pretty big problem…

Today I finished the rotating platform for the robot arm, and I also made a little servo horn fitting gauge.

I added the holes for the cross servo horn, then made the wall that will hold the shoulder servo.

The wall looked a little thin, so I added two triangular supports behind it.

They connect the wall to the platform and should stop it from bending under the weight of the arm.

Right before printing, I realized the servo bolts had nothing to tighten into inside the hollow base.

So I’m getting an M2 bolt-and-nut kit. The bolts will pass through the printed base and servo ears, then the nuts will hold everything from underneath.

Next, I’m printing the fixed base and rotating platform.

Then I’ll install both servos and check if everything fits, feels strong, and rotates without rubbing.

Do you think the wall and triangular supports look strong enough, or should I make them thicker before printing, or do you guys have any other suggestions or feedback?

BUILDING THE BASE
⠀
Alright, quick update again haha.
⠀
The first servo fit gauge was too loose, so I measured the servo again and made a new one with a 23.4 × 12.4 mm opening. This one fit much better.
⠀
After I finished that, I measured the mounting holes and figured out the correct position for the servo shaft.
⠀
Then, I started designing the actual base. I made the circular housing, added the servo opening and mounting holes, built a 30 mm support wall, and added a notch for the servo wire. - (PLEASE let me know if you have any suggestions)
⠀
The fixed part of the base is basically finished.
⠀
NEXT: Designing the rotating platform.

I’m starting to work on my SG90 robot arm! Honestly, coming into this project, I was a bit skeptical on how I would even start. But now that I did, I found that it wasn’t so hard! For this session, I technically worked for an hour, but I guess I forgot to take a time-lapse of it. I worked on getting all the materials, getting servo measurements, setting everything up, and finally modeling and printing a fit gauge to test if the measurements for the servo fit ok to continue. On to the base!  (Next session) In the next session, I’ll continue to get into things more, and probably start modeling the base. See you next time!!

Today I finished Ueno Bot, my first Slack bot. I built it with JavaScript, Node.js, and Slack Bolt using Socket Mode. It currently has five commands:/oliverueno-ping/oliverueno-help/oliverueno-catfact/oliverueno-joke/oliverueno-statusThe hardest part was deploying it and setting up the Slack tokens without putting them on GitHub. I deployed it on Render and tested it in #bot-spam. The ping command responded in 3 ms, and the other commands worked too. I also connected the project to Hackatime and linked the GitHub repository. I might add more useful or funny commands later.

I Rebuilt My Portfolio. My old portfolio worked, but it did not show much about me or what I actually contributed to my projects. So I rebuilt it with a simpler dashboard-style design using plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.The new version highlights my achievements, selected projects, working stack, and interests outside coding. I also added project detail popups and a seamless scrolling project section. The hardest part was making the project animation work on every screen size. On wide displays, it would sometimes run out of cards and leave an empty space. It now measures the screen and creates enough cards to loop smoothly. Check it out at oliverueno.site . Feedback is always appreciated!

Hi! I’m working on ProjectPacket, a simple tool that helps freelancers collect everything they need from clients without chasing them through email. They can create a checklist for things like logos, copy, photos, links, brand colors, and approvals, then send the client one upload link. I’ve got the main flow working now, including creating packets, submitting files, tracking what is missing, and reviewing items. Right now I’m improving the design and making the client upload page feel clearer and more trustworthy, especially on mobile. Some parts are still rough, but it is starting to feel like a real product.
