Jean R built Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Update, now the corners of the lower frame's sections are at a decent level, I can now move on and craft the plates of the mid part of the foot, then the knuckles. The plan is to give brushed finish to Leetfoot like Da Module Thingy. If I see the need to give a mirror finish to some parts when test fitting, then I'll polish them, but it's going to have a brushed finish on the majority of the parts.

Jean R built Posted November 9, 2020 Author Share Posted November 9, 2020 Update: Well even the 4 mm Aluminium is thick and strong, here a photo of the first of the mid plates: You may have noticed that I've also bended to shape the mid frame's sections, with Da Anvil and by hand , but you'll be able to see it on You Tube in the third episode of the build log. Honestly in real life the mid frame is smaller than I had imagined it, small but super strong. Tomorrow I'll cut the other plate and refine them both to a decent level.

Jean R built Posted November 19, 2020 Author Share Posted November 19, 2020 Hi all, today I had to craft one of my contraptions , I used a vintage grinder someone gifted me like 20 years ago ( at the time it was already old) and some wood scraps, one was the test for Da Module Thingy's crowns. Right now I'm crafting the knuckles for the fingers, the problem lies in the time to craft them. The project needs 32 knuckles parts in total, there are 2 different types: 16 type A the ones connecting the mid hub to the fingers 16 type B the ones connecting the 2 sections of each finger I have spent about 4 days crafting them, and only 9 are close to completion, so it was taking too much time. Some days ago my brother told me about his Idea to use the grinder to speed up the process, and here we are. It's not a beauty right now but I tested it and it works, in fact it works so well that I thought I should have crafted it earlier. When I have some time I'll mod it and make it cool looking or at least funny or both, and a bit safer . Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean R built Posted November 20, 2020 Author Share Posted November 20, 2020 Yup some jobs are super fast now. But... there is a But ⚠⚠⚠WARNING⚠⚠⚠ Check your belt or your suspenders (I use suspenders so comfy ) and your shoelaces. Find a secure and comfortable location, it's better if you sit down . I present you: Da K.E.G. (Kool Enhanced Grinder) I just couldn't leave it like it was, so here it is in all it's Dandy glory, it's Cool and funny at the same time, this is a recipe for sexy danger Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean R built Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hardware update: I have tested my DIMM slots I don't know exactly why, but after the bios update to be able to use the 3200G, if I put the Ram in DIMM 1 it doesn't boot. Physically the motherboard looks ok, thankfully I found an Amazon deal and now I have 16 Gb of RAM, and it looks Dandy too HyperX Fury 16 Gb CL16 3200 Mhz I know that it's not a powerhouse, but for now I'm super happy and I have doubled the RAM of the little beast.

Jean R built Posted November 25, 2020 Author Share Posted November 25, 2020 Last October I bought my first angle grinder when it was on a flash sale, and now that I have different discs, I got to admit that I'm falling in love At last if all goes well tomorrow I should complete all the knuckles I'll keep you updated.
