      Dalek Two Zero

      Making some double wide chonkier wooden Daleks. 
      With the next 50, I'll have 300 ready to hand out next month. 
      I'm planning to make at least 50 more too, then I'll have given 1,000 away!

      I have started building a mobile 92.5% scale dalek that will fit nicely through my doorways.
      Chassis is now finished and is quite drivable. I have used parts from a small mobility scooter and built the frame mostly from steel tubing.
      The skirt section is almost now mostly assembled from plywood and ready for filler and paint. I have made the hemispheres from clear plastic Christmas balls coated from the inside with heavy rubber based paint for a bit more strength. I have successfully reduced the size of the spheres on my lathe using a 3D printed holder and a parting tool. The finished hemispheres will then being glued over 3D printed mountings.
      Putting the project away for a while now but hope to have the upper sections built later this year.

      you would think it be easy to change the colour of the slats and replace the bolts with my camera look alike. Alas when i put the bolts in (stubs) I gorilla glued them into the wooden slats, trying to knock one out and it split the slat 😞   So I decided to 3D print them as they will look much better, unfortunately my build the dimension vary a little bit (not by much) around the slat area which means iI have to design my own slats to fit. printed my first slat, done it so it take coach bolts with a square nut at the top of the bolt, that way when I tighten them up I only need to tighten the nut inside the shoulders as they can't rotate in the slat.   I was pondering with the idea of reverting to a standard potentiometer for my Linear Actuator position feedback but decided to redesign the the holder for my linear variable resistor by mounting it on veroboard and screwing it to the holder. it has worked out very well indeed as it gets rid of the cables at one end which kept getting broken off. Also going by what @Lee Adams did with his Linear Actuator I decided to rotate it 90 degrees so it does go down so deep and everything seems to have worked out very well.    Linear variable resistor is fixed to linear actuator so if remove Eye stalk no need to recalibrate.    screwed on tight and soldered on so very rigid.    new 3d printed slat with coach bolt in.    showing square recess to stop bolt rotating.   Also over the weekend I have reshaped the shoulders giving more room inside and trimmed excess wood around the gun boxes on the inside so now reasonably flush. things I have been meaning to do for ages. also filled in some cracks and recesses that have appeared and sanded down and repainted. I am going to apply topcoat to the inside of the shoulders to tidy it up a bit and get rid of the roughness caused by the fiberglass repair I had to make before.   Very exited for comic con this year and i want Daniel to enjoy it as much as possible so need to get Dalek Dan up to scratch.   As far as the new gun is, I have ordered some more of the LED strip and asked the seller not to to cut my order short this time by a few centimeters as I need multiples of 50cm for each rod. I told him I need 50cm from wire link to wire link in the strip as that is where I need to cut it so all the LEDS align when folded back on itself. We shall see when it arrives 😉 Just wondering what to do about joining 2 digital outputs ( one from each EDP32) to the input of a mosfet driver if it is OK ? As long as one is always tri state then I think it should be fine and if switching control then tri-state active output first and then tell other ESP32 to use its output.. This is so the LEDs in the eye can be controlled either by the ESP32-cam board in the eye itself or directly by the dome controller.

      I don't recall anyone making a 60% scale model before. It's going to look great.

      Nothing appears to me amiss server side or with your account. I haven't seen anything like this before or had any other reports of it happening. It 'feels' like the page isn't completing when it is loaded. I would recommend signing out of the Forum and clearing your browser cache before signing in again.
