This week was a slow week in terms of progress on any projects. Starting off the week, I finished working on my new phone case because my old one was on its last legs. I could've just bought a new case, but I thought it would be more personalized if I made it. I finished the model Friday with all the holes needed, as well as adding a little personal touch to the back. I started printing on Friday as well, but it wasn't done by the time school ended. So, starting Monday, I sanded the case down and test-fitted it. It was mostly fine, but I needed to cut away some filament from the hole for the volume and power buttons so it wasn't always pressed down. After testing fitting it some more, I got a fit I was happy with. I spray-painted the case blue and sprinkled some silver on it as well, giving it a nice star-ish look to it.
I tested out the new PCB I soldered last week, and I completely forgot to solder the capacitor on it, plus it was too big to fit within the Device, so I had to re-size it in CAD. I wasn't able to get much done for the Hunter's Journal due to the shortened week. Thursday was my day to do a cleaning task, and Mr.Christy asked me to cut out some heat-sink things. After that, He also asked me to organize the PVC pipes and clean out that area under one of the big tables. Those tasks took a big chunk of Thursday to complete. I was only able to mill out the re-sized PCB and almost finished soldering it before the bell rang.
I had a little bit of time while the PCB was milling, and started working on my next project. My next project is just going ot be fixing my jukebox I got a while ago, I haven't had the time to fix it up, so I thought I could just do that during the last few weeks of school. I started looking for my jukebox model and what company it's from. It took some time because a lot of companies make Bluetooth jukeboxes, but I found it. I didn't have to read through the online manual I found before the PCB was done, so I plan on giving the jukebox my full attention as soon as I finish the Hunter's Journal, which is soon.
