To keep you updated, a bigger update this time :D I've been busy with the radar skew button, designing the housing for the ministick and such.
1 Complete assembled in the stick.
2 Exploded view 01
3 Exploded view 02
4 Time to build some test parts in the stereolithografie machine.
(This time in the machine with the transparant resin).
5 The completed parts, the stick and the rubber are allready spraypainted
in this picture.
6 Offcourse to test the rubber we have to make a silicon mould of the stereolithografie part, so it's time to prepare this part for mould building.
7 Completed a simple casing to cast the silicon.
8 Casting the composite silicon with the silicon dispenser machine.
9 After the silicon is hardened, we can open the mould with an operating knife, the wave patterns and the metal rods are there to insure a good alignment of the mould layers.
10 After the mould is heated to 70 degrees celsius we can cast the composite polyurethane rubber into the silicon mould in the vacuum chamber, we are looking through a 6 cm thick glass in this picture.
11 And after hardening in the oven for an hour at 70 degrees celsius we can demould the casting and cut off the casting tree.
Here you can see a complete assembled "Radar skew"
12 Another view, this time with the button rotated to the upper left corner, the rubber seems to do it's job :)
Thanks for watching, see you :joystick:
