This is an older log that was saved in draft, publishing it as I want to keep all thoughts on the project transparent. I have since finalized the design and when I get some more time I am going to write the log entry :)

The head also has a design change, for the better I think :) More to come!

===============

A brain pan... the skull, or rather, the inside of the skull. This is a place to fix the optics and some of the PCB boards, including a raspberry pi 3b and a lynxmotion servo controller. It will also house the speech and audio recognition system (represented by the two blank boards).

I did have to do a tiny bit of minor trimming on the raspberry pi slot, along the back corner to allow room for a small smd part. I will adjust the file accordingly so this should not need to be done on future prints.

The idea is to use this as the foundation to attach the other components, IE. the outer shell and servo mounts for the eyebrows. The components are not bolted/glued/mounted into place in these photos, so there is some wobble on the optics. This will be remedied with the addition of a bracket that bolts into the front set of mounting holes.

The bottom, all ports are accessible.

There is no stress on the boards, the two PCB are simply warped from being stored for a long time.

The file for this part will be uploaded, I test fit it for both the Rpi2b and the Rpi3B. Both fit properly.
