worklog Edison Project - #CMTEAM

[daniduarte]

Hello guys. I want to share with you my new project. It's a Scratch build with the steampunk themed inspired by Tomas Edison. I hope you enjoy it and I would like everyone's opinion.

 

 

The pieces that already arrive...

 

A 37-way connector, used in aviation and which I will incorporate into the project. I do not know because I really like the look of this...

 

 

And the computer will stay inside those acrylic domes, making an allusion to the lamp...

 

Positioning the motherboard inside the dome

 

Making the marking of the drilling of the mobo

 

Demarcating the space that the mobo will occupy in the acrylic base

 

Positioning the GSkill SSD to mark the space to be occupied.

 

And positioning the VGA, which will be on the other side of the base

 

 

Here is a video of the presentation of the project (sorry the language of the video, but I did in my native language)

Continuing, I picked up some gears in the junkyard and some cylindrical pieces of nylon to make some gears.

 

I do not like the motherboard connectors because they are always jagged, so I'm taking measurements to make a cover

 

 

 

Improvising an acrylic bender with iron bars, clamp and thermal blower.

 

 

 

 

Trimming the excess

 

 

In the lower corner, the cover hits the capacitors. So I had to make a snap.

 

I thought about reusing old SMD LEDs to create illumination for the motherboard connectors

 

 

 

 

For now, that's it. Here's a video of those steps.

Continuing ...

 

I soldered 3 LEDs in series to put on the cover

 

Testing to see if it's working

 

Making a gutter to accommodate the LEDs and gluing

 

Painting the LEDs in yellow with “stained glass” and testing

 

 

Masking the motherboard to put the gold leaf

 

 

Passing varnish to protect

 

 

Cutting a gear removed from a printer

 

Painting in gold.

 

Applying black vinyl and trimming the LED's

 

 

Glueing the gears

 

Placing the Cover and Testing
