Slots, slots, and more slots!

I made the test slots short so I could see how they are fitting and not waste filament. I tested the slots with the HeaderHole8.stl file.
  • TestFingerboardSlot1_Short.stl: I think the rails pieces are just ok, but the outer edges are a bit too narrow.
  • TestFingerboardSlot2_Short.stl: Still a bit snug, but it can fit together. I think if I tried sliding in a whole strip though, it would snap. Also, when I try to get headerhole8 out, it’s very stuck. Maybe try 1 mm wider for next time.
  • TestFingerboardSlot3_Short.stl: I had to reprint the Hole8 in regular pla because the last one was just so stuck that it wouldn’t come out. This one fits in no problem, but there is still a bit of space. I think 0.5mm tighter. Also the edge of the surface is not quite flush, so I need to make the header part a little bit deeper.
  •  TestFingerboardSlot4_Short.stl: Once again it is so tight that the header piece got stuck. But it still looks like there is space between the edges on top. I think, go back to the widths from slot3, then add a slight extrusion to the edges on the top. Going to have to re-print header8 again because it’s so stuck.
  • TestFingerboardSlot5_Short.stl: I now know the hole that I made for the paperclip is way too small. I’ll see what can be done about that. In terms of the edge being flush, I overdid it slightly. I think bring it back by 0.2mm. In terms of how it’s fitting width wise, this may be as close as I’m going to get. When I slide my finger along the edge, I can’t tell that there is spaces because it is that close. For the next test, I’m going to tighten the rales by 0.1mm on both sides. And tighten the top extrusions by 0.1mm too.    
  • TestFingerboardSlot6_Short.stl: Ok, this is the one. There are little mistakes in the print that make it sit a little crooked in the slot, but I think if I make it any smaller, if there are those mistakes in the future, it won’t fit. Going to try to print the header again, but with a bigger hole just to check that before I go for the day.

    Welcome to the TRAVIS blog!

    ​If you would like to see a summary of my work, please click here.  

    This blog is where I post updates on TRAVIS I & II as I continue developing them.
    TRAVIS I is an augmented violin that uses two Softpot sensors on the fingerboard to control sound fx, and two FSR's to bang presets.
    ​
    My wired prototype, uses an Arduino Lilypad USB. It was made by myself, and under the supervision of Dr. Bob Pritchard. 

    The wireless version uses an Arduino MKR1000. There was a group of engineering students who collaborated with SUBCLASS. Their names are Jin Han, Esther Mutinda, Carol Fu, and Lily Shao. For their own capstone they are utilized the same MKR1000 for the RUBS (Responsive User Bodysuit).  They named their capstone, WiRED (Wireless RUBS Environment Development). I have been modifying their work for my own purposes, as well as collaborating by making pieces with RUBS. 
    Bob Pritchard continues the RUBS project with TASTE. 

    TRAVIS II is was made in collaboration with Lora Oehlberg and luthier, Aaron Pratte. 

    It has four touch sensors​ made from conductive 3D print PLA and a voltage running down the strings. It also has four round FSRs clamped to the body. 

    You can find a videos and performances here. 

    A summary of my wifi connection troubleshooting can be found here.
