Worklog Dolphin Boy 2.0!

I've been working on this for a commission for a while now and this is what I've got done. I'd like to enter this into the competition. More info on the work soon.

Damn, this looks like it'll be awesome!

Good work, the case looks like a real dmg. Also nice soldering too

 

[watsug]

You can almost send it to a manufacturing facility now with the cnc trimming and printed cases. Will follow this for sure

Why have you cut the heatsink in that way? What is the purpose of that S-like shape?

 

[Air Conditioner]

it's not actually an S shape, I've bent the fins left and right alternating so the cool air moving cools the fins more effectively (credit to Ashen)

Nice cube there, going for a real benheck feel with that last image there

Soldering looks nice and clean.

Is the case the size of a DMG as well?

Thanks! I owe a lot of the cleanness to some awesome advice from Megalomaniac and a flux+ denatured alcohol combo

I actually don't have one around to check. It should be but it wasn't my intention. I sized it based around 6 18650s and a GC mobo. ~180mm X ~60mm X ~25mm

If anyone could help, it'd be appreciated. I've got a WASP wired up and I've tested all the connections and the dip switches are set to NTCS but for some reason, upon start up the blue LED blinks like normal and Swiss shows up as the playable game but when I select Swiss, it just does a loop of of the startup animation, each time the blue LED blinks like normal.

Looking at your older pictures, is Lid switch connected together?

 

[Air Conditioner]

Yeah I've got pin 23 bridged to ground on the GC board.

It looks like it might be a voltage problem? I wired up some different regulators and now it won't turn on when the fans connected. And when the fan is disconnected, it does a similar boot loop but now it doesn't even get to the start up and it has a small blue flash before looping. I'll try sanding the edges more as well.

EDIT: been at this for days.... Turns out my 3.3v wire wasn't thick enough. No words can describe the facepalm of completely rewiring a WKF, memory card, and regulators to come to this conclusion

More progress pics.

 

[Noah]

Holy shit man, that's some nice work!

Cool prints. How did you fuse them together, ABS slurry made with acetone? I'm currently trying to un-pickle a jar to make some but I'd rather probably do it another way if possible.

 

[Air Conditioner]

super glue and sanding.

 

[Aurelio]

Awsome work!
