Journal Entry #0299

Project: 00001 (CNC Mill)

Designed and printed 00001-019 handle for front panel. Did not need any support material for the small overhangs. Melted M3x4x5 heat set inserts into the back. Cut the front polycarbonate panel to size, and drilled and countersunk holes for the M3x12 flat head screws to sit flush. Installed the sliding front panel door using 6x 00001-018 brackets, with the middle two biased toward the side opposite the handle, to keep supporting the panel while it is open. It is a bit dangerous on the free end when the door is open, and it's kind of a pain on the handle end to line it up when closing the door, so I might add a chamfer to all 4 corners. Also cleaned up some of the electronics yesterday, but forgot to record that.
