Here we go.
Been working on my ipod dock this week. I've been doing little bits before going to work. Little bits of progress that aren't worth posting about, but are time consuming nonetheless.
Here is the door, with the guide in place and sanded down a bit.

Made a bracket to mount the servo;

Ha didn't see that one comin, did ya!

Here it is all clamped up

Now the last step, glue on the piece for the armature mount.

I did this last because I wanted to test out the servo first and determine the best postion for the mount.

Now I have to wait till tomorrow for the glue to dry (dammit) then do some sanding, and cult some felt to line that uchannel with, but other than that, the ipod door is done!

Can't wait to see the door in action, you have done a very nice job with it.

So is the goal on this project to make everything completely bomb-proof? If so, you're off to a great start! I've always wanted to use servos in a case, just never had the inclination or the money. Looking good!

Here is a short, crummy video of the door in action;



I know, it's just full of action and suspense. But hey, it's shot in HD
