‎​I went to do the wiring and learned I am missing yet another thing I need: a crumpet. Oops. Next time, I need to make sure that I am actuallly prepared on the first day; I think I skimmed the Printables page and got all the things I knew I didn’t have without properly watching the video documentation the whole way through.

Other than that, I found a remixed model that is slimmer and positions the Arduino such that the USB cable doesn’t need to be permanently connected. I loathe permanent wires on electronics, so a few hours later I had a new chassis.

I briefly considered an accent color for the base but I wasn’t a big fan. I think this might just be a bad shade of yellow.

Once it was all printed I moved the joysticks over. One of the printed tops was too close to the chassis and was preventing it from returning to center, but luckily I just had to unscrew and reposition it.

Anyway, I’ll continue this another time! All of the gear should be here by Tuesday, which will give me some time to finish the Maitsu build that I’ve been juggling with this project!
