Merzal#1414 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago (edited) We started by generating hundreds of AI concepts until we found one we liked which we posted onto YouTube to see how many likes it gets compared to the others, this one got the most likes so we decided it's the one we will build.  We modelled the Front Panel. Video (1) (4).mp4 We were planning to buy and use a full colour Mimaki printer https://www.mimakiaus.com.au/product/3d/ which can create amazing things, we were super excited for this printer but after talking to their representatives we under stood it wasn't for us, especially for the cost associated with it. The material is far too brittle to be used as a computer panel, the build space is TINY for the price of the machine, we would have to create the panel in pieces. We want a sturdy computer that can keep intact through international delivery as we send out these computers to people world wide. We decided to buy a Carvera https://global.makera.com/products/carvera?srsltid=AfmBOorH9Q1QYMJKkXAmdKOTgXwbC2OylMzNeinObBJrBArEahD1EFpt so we can create sturdy panels out of alloy, copper, wood and other materials along with a 4 colour 3D printer, H2d bamboo labs https://au.store.bambulab.com/products/h2d?id=580955377904132100&skr=yes&srsltid=AfmBOopXgHsY4fQmGK5FBrsVAD7GdTn5Rm_zAFEOUVlCNGPzlgYKopZTz8A to add to our 3D printer stack. We're now conducting test prints and colouring some parts of the panel with the 4 colour printer as a base, we will hand paint the panel afterwards and make sure the red window behind her is see through to show lights. We will continue to drop updates on this blog post as comments, let us know what you think! Edited 2 hours ago by Merzal#1414 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
