What's on the workbench?

[Bricksnbeatles]

It is July and it's looking like nothing on my 2024 vision board is getting done and I started doing something else completely different all together

I recently found some of my goal-lists and project plans from 2017. I think some of them were already a few years at that point. Currently I’m still tackling the wildly overwhelming task of cleaning up my workbench and figuring out what parts I need to order to finish up all of my in-limbo builds. My initial deadline for getting that done was June.

Of last year. Jeeeesus

I think you’re giving me too much credit ‍

Broke apart 4 more wah shells to strip down. Just need to remove the rack gear and the tension straps and then they’ll get hit with the stripper. Eventually gonna need to find access to a sand blaster since the one on campus won’t be an option for me in September. Or I might send them off to be powder coated at some point.

Hit with a stripper, now there’s an turn of events.…

Deleted, I'm not at Robert's house.

So... the gargantuan BMP-noodle boards and enclosures have missed Pi-day 2024...
Does that mean we have to wait till Pi-day 2025 for its release?

This thread is about what's on Robert's Bench — I think you're looking for your thread "What's On Your Workbench?".

Yeah, I clearly need to get more sleep. My bad

Is that going to be available?

 

[jimilee]

That’s the biggest one of those I’ve ever seen.

Is this It? :

@Robert are the big box muffin and big box raincoat gonna share the same enclosure option, or is there a batch of enclosures for the raincoat and a batch for the muffin with different powder colors or screen printing or something to differentiate between em? And I know you probably don’t want to reveal all yet, but what’s the timeline looking like for these? I gotta do some budget planning

Yes.

That's what.

I need to get some ribbon cables and boxes for the Raincoat kits and they'll be ready to go.

Ideally I would like to offer an enclosure option along with the Muffin PCBs but I'm not sure how to handle it graphically/aesthetically since there are so many different varieties of Muffin that could be built with the PCB. Powdercoat with no artwork? Some generic artwork that could apply to any version? Obviously you could just go to the source and have an enclosure made custom but I'd hate to swamp Steve with a bunch of one-off requests.

Artwork contest?
You and Stevie could lay out some parameters (enclosure color, screen print color— or give a few pre-established options that the two of you decide on) and then give X-amount of time to submit a design. Once time is up, put up a voting section, and the winning design is produced.
