Your right. Unfortunately times short. I’m not sure whether to build a light I may finish or one I wont finish when l get a start. :person_facepalming:
I’m going to try and get one entered this year. Even though I’m not planning on using a mill or lathe, or any precision cutting machines, I think I’m going to end up in the machine made category.
Thanks for joining in the fun. It matters little what you use to build your light. Its just good to challenge yourself with whatever you have and we all enjoy watching the processes we go through.
I’m seriously winging it this time - I’ve spent more time failing on a particular part, it’s not funny…& I have to spend more time posting up the string of failure… :person_facepalming:
Don’t give up so easily. You can still enter and build something new. We have excellent sportsmanship in this “contest”. We help each other if needed. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, or even for spare parts. Several of us have plenty of those too. :person_facepalming:
Not in two months time I still need to finalize my 3d design and budget.
Also I need to check if my design is patent-able and possibly hire a patent attorney to check that it hasn’t been created already.
Once it is patent pending (or I find out it can’t be patented) then I will be able to make forum posts about it
So maybe for next year’s competition it will be ready…
