Making the Base Parts
More construction!
So, at my EAA Chapter's Build Night, I found some triangular pieces of wood already cut in our scrap pile. They were just way too big.
Jake busted out the table saw, and did the honors. No fancy CAD drawings. No meticulously measured dimensions. Everything just sort of eyeballed, and compared to the printer and the electronics board.
I went at it with the belt sander to try and make the surface finish smooth, and less plywood-like. My idea is black lacquer paint to try to match the melamine finish of the OneUp.
I took the wood home, Monday. Our general meeting was Friday (tonight, as I write this), and I wanted to get the painted pieces to Jake then, so he could cut the grooves for Monday's build night.
