Well.. It’s certainly living up to the name… circle of complications has been a design challenge. We started working last week and felt that we were on a good path of completion and thought today would be about a four hour day. Here’s our day start..
Circle of Complication frame
At the end of a long day, with various design pitfalls along the way and usually a lot of discussion, head scratching and then laughing , we have something that looks a lot like what it should look like.
Circle mostly done
There’s a some detail left to the imagination here. Imagine all the things on the table, not there and instead the nice birch wooden drawing surface in place. The arm is basically complete, all that’s left is to weld the tray on that holds the electronics, battery and the pens. Then to powder coating and then final assembly. The software will still need some work, but mostly to refine and such. There also may be some limit switches mounted on the arm assembly.
