      Slats and Hemis…   what a project! Spent way too long on those, but hey, progress is progress. My A2L is humming along with some wet PETG, but I’ve made the switch to PLA+ and wrapped up all the Hemis and Slats. They turned out sharp and clean. Finished the Eye Stalk too, but it’s still waiting to be mounted. I used a nifty Adafruit LED puck for some added flair. Now, time to brush up on my soldering skills, which should be interesting considering how little space there is for connections these days.   The Eye Stalk threaded onto the lamp rod like a champ, but the arms are a mystery. They’re larger in diameter but still threaded. I might have to dive into the original build diary to figure out what Elembivos used. If all else fails, a wood dowel might just do the trick.   Now, let’s talk about the gun. It’s been a royal pain, failing on two printers in what feels like a million orientations. Even when I add supports, everything goes wrong. My daughter wants a claw instead if the gun doesn’t pan out, which may be the way to go since she’ll be driving this project. Plan C is to see if I can print the Gatlin gun and hope for the best.   I’ve put some light coats of Antique Brass on the Dome and Shoulders, but the Georgia heat is wreaking havoc. The paint dries before it even hits the plastic! Late-night or early-morning painting it is. I still need to cut out the base for my trike and make the skirt from wood. I see people knocking out skirts in a day, but that’s not my speed. The oxygen tank helps, but working with it on is like trying to juggle while standing on your head.   I plan to follow a tutorial that seems straightforward: cut the top ring, suspend it with 2x2s, and cut the pieces to fit. I don’t mind glassing the inside as long as it holds up.   I’ll post updates on the puck once I’m back in the basement and garage!   Got the lazy susan figured out...thanks to Mike Aubert.  Motorized dome and stalk will have to wait until after Dragoncon.  I've seen different manual options in the forums, but if someone has their favorite, let me know.   Id like to somehow connect side to side function and stalk up and down in a single controll.  butimes slipping by and I only have less than 3 weeks.   Since its probably my last big thing I do with my daughter I really to make sure its usable.    Word of advice, Dont let cancer take your family moments away too soon.  I'm not supposed to be any of this.   I'm pushing hard and regretting it every night but its worth it to see her smile like a goober.  Even when I stop talking we'll still be thumb wrestling.  Their attention and last memories are worth way more than your comfort.

      Comic Con Wales - Monopoly

      By bappi · Posted

      Wales Comicon was a blast even if it was only us 3 daleks, I even managed to get Peter Capaldi to sign Dalek Dave. Penny Howarth and Lynne Walters were back this year and came over for a good chat with me still hasnt started his web page but hopefully it will be started this year, Lynne also promised to bring me an original piece from the props he made and collected over the years wont say what it is tho so will be a suprise if he remembers. I showed them my upgrades and got good feedback so hoping the next time i see them Dalek Dave will have forward motion. Here are the photos I managed to take during the weekend.
