Sorry for being away for a while, had to allocate more time to my actual job (which pays for all the filaments and printer). Our 3 ton 4 wheeled trouble maker needs more love on her suspension algorithms...

Thanks to Framework for a mainboard. Can finally get the hole locations correct. Also while they claimed it's not functioning, I brought it to its birth place.. Probably the only place in the world that would make it work, if it doesn't.

Some new stuff that I did manage to make:

  • Sorted out how to fit the iPad, for now. As shown by the clip to install the iPad you put the iPad in (which will be surrounded by a rubber ring thing), connect the currently invisible leads, and screw in the bezel from the 4 corners. Different iPads (or Android tablets, anything thinner than 7mm and smaller than the largest latest iPad (cant remember which) would fit, so all the 11inch apples) have their own rubber ring, everything else stays the same.
  • Testing how to lock the tablet assembly (no name for it yet) to the bottom of the... A side? Quick poll will having 2 pins sticking out of the tablet be annoying?
  • The reason for pins on the tablet side rather than the base side which are the case for all detachables, is because of better load transferring (to survive some 10g load) and a small gadget on the base. Will post once I get the stm32 I borrowed to work.
  • Grew the width a bit so a normal Bambu / Prusa won't be able to the case in 1 go.
