haha not leaving yourself alot of time to finalise a design
as usual working your way through your weekends and after hours
You should put on the top of it, ENVY CABLE BY ENYVOUS CUSTOMS
instead of just enyvous customs
Ahaha, whats a weekend??!!
Weekends are the only time I get to make progress on things! I dont actually get alot of free time during week days due to back to back calls and call outs.
Actually going to indent the 'envyous customs' text I think as it looks more clean and flush. Will see what I come up with today!
The main case is finished, just a few additions left.
So how long does it take to make?
Just the case using the 3D printer on good settings takes about an hour and 15mins for the full case. Or 40ish mins per half. Sounds like a long time, but thats because when set to fine settings, it comes out very smooth and finishes well.
Soldering up the PCB boards takes about an hour as well. Then theres testing to do ontop of that to ensure each one is working correctly.
All in all, about 2hours per cable to make and test.
So alot of hours go into them currently!. Realistically, I could only make a few a day like that with current work load. I only intend to make about a dozen with the 3D printer while I finalize discussions with the manufacturer.
Time requirements should drastically drop as the manufacture will make the cases, make the PCB's, solder the PCB's and I will assemble here. The cases made by the manufacturer will be silky smooth and should be able to get various colours made up.
Only thing Ill need to do is attach the main OBD plug, flash the microcontroller and test each one!. This means I will have more time working on software!
