– There are ~450 LEDs present in this rig.
– In total there’s about 650GB of footage for this one project.
– Some parts needed to be remade up to 4 times before I was happy with the fit and finish.
– Glass blasting thin aluminium panels is a right pain.
– The motherboard tray uses 6 types of screws. I had to use 6/32 fillister screws in order to get the outer rim thin enough for the reservoir to function properly.
– The main Fusion 360 CAD model for Ensis is currently at version 187.
– I came down to my last 15cm of transparent sleeving. Cutting it close to the wire eh?..
