Update on this, we got the new facade up!
We’ll be holding our grand opening next Saturday, November 9th 2024, at 5pm
This was @Metal_Janet’s baby so hopefully she’ll be along when things settle down to share her part of it.
My part was redesigning the doors so they functioned properly. It uhh took a few revisions. I ended up using the shape of 32 pitch gears from mcmaster and printing it with a 0.2 nozzle in petg.
The different colors are different offsets, and it took a bit of tweaking to get it all happy, I also had to carve away the gears on the ends of the racks to get them to open smoother,
After building the doors had a bit too much travel so I put down some scotch tape (to prevent the glue from sticking to the doors) and filled the ends with hot glue to act as rubber end stops.
Other than that I’ve also been busy making mini figures for the audience, see this thread if you want to get involved.
