Updating the PTS Motor Control Looks (PID)
Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2020 7:58 pm
Did a little updating on the PID control box, adding jacks for the wire connections to make it easier to modify for custom installations on cable lengths and just generally making it a more professional looking product.
It's not a high-volume product so I never really took the time to make it more than what it is, it did n't need to look "pretty" just function. I picked up a 3D printer and decided a good project for me to learn on was a redesign of the end panels for the PID.
I'm pretty happy with the outcome since I had zero experience in 3d drawing let alone 3d printing. Not totally happy with my top surface layer texture and I need to work on finding the right setup combinations to lay a nicer surface finish. But, it sure beats the way I was doing the labels with a silver paint pen
