  • Universal Power Switch

  • For the first X-PC, I reused the original laptop power switch PCB. This worked but it required quite a bit of effort to make it fit and I also had to design and 3D print a button to make it usable. For the X-PC 2 I didn't want to have to redesign...
  • Part 3: Building and matching the antenna

  • The first step in building the antenna is to wrap the wire around the guide. I used 0.25 mm thick enameled wire for this and then glued it together with some nail polish. The nail polish will stick together the wires and make it possible to later remove...
  • Part 8: Getting there

  • I was finally able to get my hands on some 2mm thick acrylic and test the production process of the antenna I thought. Let's start with the 2mm thick acrylic frontplate. This looks AWESOME! (Since I was at it I alsso modded the screen for a darker look). ...
  • First working prototype

  • Background Having looked around the web a bit for options for upgrading to vinyl cutting, I wasn't impressed. The general idea is to buy a cutter (e.g. Graphtec CB09) and fit it to the hotend assembly, but almost all designs were entirely rigid,...
  • PCB 2nd iteration works

  • I received the shipment of revised PCBs from PCBWay a few days ago. I immediately populated one completely and tested it. I wanted to have one copy of the board that populated everything, including things that I don't plan to actually use myself. I'm...
  • Jumping Fritzing

  • There hasn't been much activity here, mostly because I didn't really know where to take this project. I don't want it to become my second job, designing, supporting and selling a shiny product, ready to use for people who don't want to contribute anything...
  • PCB and keywell build out

  • Today I'm moving forward with assembly now that I have the custom PCBs in hand and have already 3D printed a full set of parts. I soldered all of the pin header sets onto the PCB. These are now ready to accept DuPont connections running wires out to...
