The G.E.C.K - Vault Tec component.

Love this, been scouring ebay for one since for a cheap gaming pc for my nephew. Looking forward to seeing the case!
 
I have resorted to buying a WiFi extender with a lan port..

The wifi on it doesn't seem to work fully so I can't download games. It might just be the antenna on it but the extender will give me a physical lan.

Its due for delivery later which sucks, but I should still have time to play with it today.

Plastic is now shipped and should come tomorrow being DHL Express.
 
Ugh. Well the internet here at mum's is bad at the best of times. 40 meg if you are lucky. Just lately though it has been particularly bad. As such I just don't have the patience.



The WIFI extender worked but not in the way I thought. The LAN port is not an output it seems. However, it does work for this. Not LAN, but as an extender. I was correct in saying the antenna was getting a poor signal.

Oh the feet arrived a while back too.




They are just "drift bonnet lifters" or something. Cheap AF (about a fiver) and available in lots of colours and come with all of the bolts needed. They look lovely when fitted.

Oh and I was indeed correct. The plastic *is* coming tomorrow.

I am glad they came early. Mum left for the hospital just after it arrived, giving me time to make some machine noise without consequence :D





I have a spare yellow and a spare blue just in case something horrid happens lol. Thankfully the most risky panels are the small ones with all of the intricate detail. The rest use a 2mm bit which I can't see snapping tbh.

Aaaaaaaand jinxed!
I've got mine roughly trammed in the Y axis, now have to do the X and then I can work out if the gantry is true to the bed....which is definitely not flat.
 
Nah dude you don't get it. A few weeks ago I shoved that bit through acrylic at the max settings. I didn't remember to drop them. It didn't snap. like 700mm a minute madness. I've never snapped a larger bit than 1.5mm tbh. It is the 0.8s that like to snap.

Edit, and you should have heard the racket it made. Sheesh !

Well something went wrong.

The blue piece is completely wrong. I have absolutely no idea why, but yeah it's bin fodder.

Traced it back to a SVG, put it back into Easel and it fits perfectly.

What a bummer lol. Will cut another one tomorrow.
 
So yeah. Here is the blue piece overlaid onto the yellow one.



Yet, with a re-trace of the blue part it looks like this *scratches head*



I have absolutely no idea how that went wrong. Oh well, at least it wasn't a whole piece ruined (just half). It all needs cleaning btw. The mess is powdered cardboard mixed with masking tape adhesive. I don't have my 99% here so I bought some more that should arrive tomorrow.
