I know it's been awhile since the last video I made on this project. Sometimes you start a project with so much energy and then just get bogged down with life and other projects till your enthusiasm just wanes. I spent quite a bit of time trying to design a really fancy 3D printed case for the VacPen that I could see the feature creep starting to loom so I decided to just go simple and functional so I could wrap this project up and use it. So this version is more a prototype than a finished commercial looking device. The case could use some screws, integrated pcb mounting to utilize the onboard touch sensing pad and most importantly a better battery enclosure method. But I just wanted something done now to help assemble pcbs that will arrive very soon so let's wrap this project up and leave improvements for version 2.0!
