Hi!
Did you come here for your daily basis of pictures?
Well, yep, I’ve got some more.
This time, I’ve got two more sneak preview renderings (in HiRes!). Still not finished (real life work is still a lot at the moment), however, looking better each day.
“What’s not finished in this render?” you may ask. Well, the keyboard layout is not yet the finished one, we’re working on it and it will be included as soon as we’re finished with it. The same goes for the printings on the case (SD 1, SD 2, etc. We might use icons for the functions).
Apart from that, it should look very close to the finished model.

While mentioning the finished model: As I told you yesterday, Michael got the FDM case and put together a first test unit. Everything fits! He didn’t have much time so he taped the case and didn’t put a working board inside, however, that will follow soon. Then we can actually show pictures of a working board inside that FDM case! Time to go for a real CNC case!

I also got the mesh of the case today and started to work on them in 3dsmax. Unfortunately real life work got into my way, so I couldn’t finish any photorealistic renderings today, though I’m halfway through, so expect them soon.

Also, I want to take videos of cpasjustes emulators soon, let’s hope I’ll find some time, as I’m pretty busy with my regular work at the moment…

Michael Weston mentioned the FDM case might arrive at his place about Monday, so he can post pictures of the final Pandora case (well, still FDM, not the shiny CNC’ed case, but that will be ordered when everything fits into the FDM case).

That’s it for updates for today, see you soon
