Wouhhhpf! Looks Good To Me 😁👍 

Me In The Recent Past, thank you for not immediately dismissing the idea of getting an LCD back into this project again. There was an LCD when I first started designing Tetent, which got removed due to the layout. Then it came back again in the transition between Tetwin and Tetrinsic but was ultimately lost. Until now. If I can get everything to fit geometrically, this will fufill all requirements I set out to accomplish when starting #Tetent [gd0090].

It's quite interesting how most of Tetent's complexity has been absorbed into Tetrinsic. I can imagine some alternate dimension where TTGo or Waveshare made this thing instead and creating Tetent would've been super easy and barely an inconvinience. Unfortunately, Tetrinsic isn't some off-the-shelf part that exists here.

I've actually been thinking of using something like black or copper ball chain, but now seeing the stainless steel variant in this render, I'm more than fine with sticking with it. Speaking of the render, the white part is just a standalone enclosure "serving suggestion".

This is what the top-down path of the planning sketch looks like:

The concerns I have is that the total length is now 50mm and the distance between the bottom edge of the screen and the bottom edge is around 10mm. Both concerns stem from #Tetent Timespy [gd0136]. I also expect that I'd need to cover the screen with a protector to prevent damage during use.

Oh and I've only got 5.6mm of thickness for this singular load cell. It does look like I've got a decent amount of length to implement it (<32mm), as well as a generous amount of space for the PCB. 

Exciting. I think I can delete the belt version from the Fusion360 file and go all-in on this new version.

This is the first texture I had in mind, but thought it looked desaturated.
This is a glitter infused green liquid.
I think this is a macro shot of something green. It's the shade of green I had in mind when looking for the glitter liquid above. I like how it's got a bit of a Windows/Zune/Xbox 360 vibe.
