Skip to the next page for 2.1 stuffs. The other ball drops ;) This is just a prototype of the upcoming kit from Haruman. I'm putting it together to see what needs tweaking. Started by gluing the base together: Put the head together too (and test fitted the Pin2DMD): some base paint: Mounted the head frame cross beam: Some more paint, and test mounted the exhaust fan: quick Carbon fiber wrap on the front (I'll trim it off the sides after I whip up some artsies) Just trying to figure out the internal layout: After I figure out where everything is going to go, I'll drill the holes for the power supply intake, speakers, etc |

Looks great so far. Why is the back so tall? I thought people used one monitor for the back and the DMD (top 1/2 for the back screen and bottom 1/2 for a fake DMD). I haven't been following pin builds in a while though... |

Nice! Given the kits are cut on a machine, would a couple tabs of finger joint for the 90 corners of the lower box be worth doing? |

Ginger 1.0 had the DMD's played over top of the backglass image on the same screen. This head is for a "real" DMD , it goes better with a bigger base. Ideally they'll be a third head with speakers too, but nothing is set in stone. I didnt want to buy another monitor for a prototype build, so its got a tall DMD head :) --- Quote from: Laythe on August 26, 2018, 05:09:22 pm ---Nice!

Sure - apologies, I don't mean to sound like I'm trying to tell Haruman how to do his job or anything. I'm sure he will know the pros and cons. I thought it might make assembly easier if they had a few tabs, and that the prototype phase might be the time to say so. If it's already been considered and is hard to mass produce a consistent fit, I totally understand. That's such a charming form factor. Gingerballs was awesome, and I'm glad more people will have a chance to try something like it. |
