ThinBot -- Work in progress 2-9-2012
Feb. 10th, 2012 06:52 amSmall amounts of progress. I've begun machining the ports into the box that will hold the Arduino Mega 2560 controller and touchscreen (photos of that when its done).
I also did assembled and leak-tested the chiller/nozzle. Alas, the compression surfaces around the O-rings were too small to seal properly and it dripped, so I had to go to the alternate plan (the original plan, actually; the o-rings were a long shot) of using silicone aquarium sealant.
( lots of sealant under the cut )
