time about 450 hours, maybe a bit more. Money, £410 but now I need to spend another 60-70 for a new screen

Phil W · 5 Dec 2010 at 12:51

Get everything working and then install a second screen last minute? Wouldn't be anywhere near as special as it could be with a fully working screen

Really looking the business mate!

Building Candy · 12 Dec 2010 at 18:13

more leg

The little shock absorbers were made from 4 pieces, the cylinder with a U shaped piece on each end. I have now remade using 2 pieces, from one piece of bar.

glad all this is done

Had a bit of a set back, been working on getting the oled screen in place in the head and I think I must have danaged the ribbon cable on the botom of the screen as its started to fail. lines of the display are dropping out, no chance of sending it back as ive modified it somewhat now. So i've either got to spend ANOTHER £70 or forget the whole head thing, im scared even if I get another I might screw that up too

Is there no chance you could fix the ribbon cable? Or maybe someone on here who is into electronics could help you out.

Don't lose the screen from the project though, it looked amazing.

Building Candy · 14 Dec 2010 at 22:57

ribbon cable has aparently got a tiny circuit on it, its this that might be damaged, I have another unit on is way.

Feet

these were a pain but finally I have a set of 4

again I wasnt happy with the 1st back of the foot I made so using that as a template I made 2 new ones out of a single piece of delrin. Also the little pistons were ally rod with a styrene U shape. I have now remade both side using a solid piece for each half of the piston.

all together now

Same again here, using the styrene as a prototype I machined a new set using delrin.
