Busy week: R5 motor bracket/3D designing and more….

 A busy week of building, buying, designing etc….

1:
R5’s second new foot motor bracket frame, needed completing: just needs some finishing tweaks, and 3D printed brackets for the channel plate.

2:
Been discussing in group chat about next year’s Star Wars Celebration , attending droid numbers etc.

3:
Been designing up ‘control panels’ for a side project idea. See coming post.

4:
Whilst researching I came across a video about the origins of R2’s PSI lenses. So a search on eBay and I managed to get a bargain for £6.00 GBP. Its a vintage Weston Masters two, photographers light meter.



The lens is bubbled on one side, but i was surprised to see that the honeycomb part was multiple layers of punched/stamped pieces, that were then rivited together.
