Hello again, I have some progress. Firstly, I realized that the support arm was in the wrong place, shouldn't be in the centre bottom, so I shifted it to the side. Secondly, I think I've finished up the inside shell.
And so, here's what it looks like assembled:
And Open
I've had an annoying time resizing the inner shell over and over just so it can fit inside the outer and move freely and not look like such a HUGE gap. I'm down to just over 1 mm gap which is not bad, but it's very tight between the contours and the inside shell. Good news is the wall thickness checks went just fine so this might be able to be printed in metal when the time comes.
I think it's time for me to order a test print to see how they fit together and have some time to think out the linkage part. I'll throw it into my next order from shapeways, but that means I won't be able to progress for a number of weeks, sigh, production time is a pain.... Anyways, here's the shapeways generic renders.
