Laser Cutting the Prototype Enclosure

We spent some time on Monday working with the TA to help us laser cut the layers of acrylic to make our prototype enclosure. You can see pictures of that below.


Here is the green acrylic being laser cut. 


Here is the blue acrylic being laser cut. 


The green acrylic came out beautifully. 


Here is the enclosure being held together with the #8-32 bolts. They are going to the wrong way then the design says but thats just to hold it together right now. This gives a picture of what the final product will look like. 




A close up of how the DB9 serial connectors will feed through the top part of the case. 


The ethernet cables will feed through the slots built in like this. They will be epoxied in place to make sure no water is let in. 

Next part is to epoxy the bottom layers together and find a gasket for it!
