    ... i meant... you know, after they laser the etching on the si waffers, the core s are cut and then a small machine makes the connections from the cpu to the pins... it's like so tedious.. but that's a robot... and there are hundreds of connections... so, my joke... this level of patience could be used to re-wire a cpu i didn't mean to offend, if i did..sorry ... ... ... and the "seriously,this is..." = the mod is looking great!

    After working on the Aluminum Bezel I ran into a little snag.



    The 3mm LEDs I ordered have this little lip on the bottom that makes them 3.4mm so the lips on each LED overlap.



    Well here is the answer to the question how to get rid of the lip.



    After a few quick clips the lips gone.



    Now the LEDs fit snuggly with no overlap.



    Here's a preview of what the front will look like with the LEDs in place.

    Now I've gotta get them soldered into the PCB.

    Yah,
    I've got a bit of wiring to do, as well as a bit of fab work to complete.

    Thanks guys for all the positive replies!

    I got cracking Sunday on Drilling all 340 holes out of the PCB...Wasn't to bad just turned on the drill press and got in the "ZONE". an Hour or so later it was done.



    I also finished the Utility Arm Carrier (the utility arms are the 2 Blue arms on the Front of R2 just below the dome). This carrier is important because it gives me somewhere to mount the Util. Arms that I'm making (really thinking about making them servo controlled so they can move in and out), and It pushes the front skin out in the correct shape. Right now with out the carrier the front of R2 has a big dent (flat spot) in it when I pull the front skins tight.




    I draw out the shapes that I need on a large sheet of 1/4 PVC plastic.



    Next I cut out each shape with a band saw.


    Then we move over to the Vise for some clean up with the dremal, a File and the power sander.



    I'm gluing the pieces together with Gorilla Glue and some small metal pins (aka Brads, with the hole they go into oversized). It's an odd shape (curved) so I'm just using masking tape to hold it in place till the glue dries.


    Once the Glue dries I pull the tape off and it's perfect!




    With the carrier glued up and Dry, I just had to sit my Prototype Utility arm in place (and the cutout from the skins so you can see what it's going to look like).



    Now I just have to mount this to the frame, and get my front skins glued on.

    I know it doesn't look like much but It's the lynch pin I haven't had time to make for the last 3 months....Now that I've got it made the main body is almost ready for paint. The next hurdle is the rear Access panel...So I can get to the Batteries and the PC Parts.

    That's all for now!
