New Lesson: Making the faceplate move!
Latest lesson: motorizing the helmet, which turned out harder than printing it.
Same as the rest, we're getting organized and turning the series into a proper classroom. If you caught this one already, no worries.
This is the real, unpolished version of a build. We installed the Walsh 3D Servo Pro kit, wired up a CrashWorks control board, learned heat-set inserts, twisted and soldered our own wires, and zeroed the servos. The faceplate actually moved, which was a huge win. But we also hit real problems: heat-set holes that came out too big, the mask colliding with the servo arms, and wire routing and clearance issues we still need to fix before sanding and paint.
That's the honest part of building. You try it, you learn from it, you fix it, and you keep going.
If you were building this, what would make you most nervous, the printing, the wiring, the motors, or the paint? Tell us.
