May 16th: Sketching

Got in a rough idea of what I want the Camcorder to look like. It is based off the Sony Handy Cam that I have at home.

Time Spent (Sketching) ~ 1 hour

May 17th: First CAD & Print

Today I was just creating the Basic CAD model for the camera. I plan on making a full CAD when I figure out what parts I'll use. I already have a screen and raspi 4 at home so I have some basic dimensions for that.

Time Spent (CAD and printing) ~ 2.5 hours

May 18th: Updating CAD

Didn't do too much today, just focused on updating the CAD model based on how the first CAD printed. Found some issues with clearance and fitting the Raspi in the actual shell. I revamp the inside to have a notch for the raspi and enough room for wires, buttons, proto boards, etc. Anyways, I still need to work on the actual pull out screen part and battery comparment.

Time Spent (CAD) ~ 1 hour

May 25th: Arm In CAD

Today I wanted to get the arm part with the hinge modeled in Fusion. This was my first time modeling a hinge and using the join feature in fusion. I went off a hinge desgin based Maker's Muse's snap hinge in his video Incredibly Handy 3D Printed Hinges!. I got the hinge to work with a bit of struggle at first, but overall I'm happy with the model. I plan on ptinting out the model one more time to figure out sizing but the only thing left is to find where I'll put the power supply in the case.
