Batman lights - first lot (part 11)

Another day in the workshop.

Finished KEITH and ERIK ready to pack for postage tomorrow.

Batman lights - second lot (part 6)

This evening printed more bat templates - I'm going batty.

Al's Kitchen

ALDI cast iron pot of chicken curry on simmer.

Another couple of Batman orders!

Also working on a larger Batman Limited Edition (LE) USB version that will have a flat PowerBank at the back with a likely price increase of $20 to cover the PowerBank cost.

The default offer will be with 3 x AA battery box.

Get the mowing done

With more rain on the way first job on the list this morning was to get the mowing done. Grass has grown to that point where poo bombs are too hard to spot from a safe distance (in particular when it's raining) before going out there to collect.

Batman lights - first lot (part 10)

Doing the final assembly on KIETH and ERIC so both of those will be finished in the first morning session - tomorrow. While doing the above also nudging PJ along so he is now ready for the lighting stage.
And...while doing all the above also prepping TAG, one of the bats from the second lot.
The last photo shows how I measure to mark and drill the staple pilot holes.

I will finish off these two guys in the morning, another pair out the door.

Batman light - hybrid version

I've mentioned a few times this is a complicated build process with a level of risk (one mistake stuffed it) and each time I make one I mull over possible refinements - can I do this bit a different way to make the next stage easier etc.

The other thing to consider is that currently RGB LED strips lights (both Battery and USB)

Well...I've come up with a new version that combines the Battery version with the USB version to create a new hybrid battery version - confused ???

This is the Battery version – RGB LED strip light powered by a battery box with 3 x AA batteries. To balance the light there’s another battery box on the left with 3 spare batteries. The build process is quite tricky and it took me a while to work out how to fit in the 3 x AA battery boxes on either side.
