- Started again on the UELVEs_MBC. PVC pipes and bamboo,
with 3D printed nodes, kevlar cloth and FR4 Resin.

- Built 2 versions of sandwich 200 https://reprap.org/wiki/Sandwich200 and riki200 https://reprap.org/wiki/Riki200 with double pulley system, and redesigned a taobao clone to be half-decent. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?177,770083,page=1

Open_Source_Battery_Pack needed way to generate STL files (added). edited STEAM jan2020 page, mentioned TODO items.

UELVEs_MBC 3D geometry drawing and preliminary result, showing how, based on four node locations and assuming the distance between door frame (purple) and door sill (green) is parallel, create a "marker" line half-way between, and work out the angle from which the pipe may be rotated (from its node) such that *both* pipes will touch perfectly on that centre line. by keeping things in 2D, it turns out it simply involves a couple of calls to atan2

UELVEs_MBC video explaining an issue that needs solving with some 3D geometry algorithms. The doorframe, doorsill and the door itself, all those pipes need to be parallel and a set distance from each other. This should be easy to compute with the application of some simple 3D algorithms, if you know what you are doing... I could really use some help here.

test needed for the UELVEs_MBC
Sat Jan 04, 2020
Open_Source_Battery_Pack nearing the point where it can be test-printed. this shows the bus-bars and wires (yellow) which have poron foam behind them to act as springs, creating electrical contact *including* from the lid (purple) to the main holder (green). i also added space to get access to the BMS PCB (red) where you screw down a lid, it was becoming too awkward for assembly.

alrightalright, i hand-drew it in the gimp! :)
Toblerone modifications proposed to D3D Universal which will allow it to span a greater distance without flexing.
