A project log for 8 Leaf Pi Zero Bramble

Modular design, small footprint Pi Zero Supercomputer

Yesterday was my birthday (& Thomas Edison, one of the original prolific makers). Since I spent it working in the day and trashing my Bramble rail system on the Davinci Junior in the evening, the Potts, inc CEO took me to Spa World today.

Getting my luxuriate on, yo!

Oh, I did visualize some spacing issues I hadnt thought of. Like with the latest rail design there is a stopper so the leaves dont fall out the back. Well that stopper makes the leaves hang out instead of just the pull tabs.

Also, that rail that got messed up: i must have left an errant line in my sketchup model because the XYZ version of slicer just mangled the output on the screen. Interestingly enough when it was still an stl it looked fine! Oh well, I needed to do another redesign of the leaf anyway. I'll incorporate it into the rebuild of the rail. The laminate version is still the most stable printout.

UPDATE 11 MINUTES LATER

You know, it just occurred to me: I could make these REALLY modular by vertically mirroring the rails, and putting keys on the sides, similar to a breadboard... As small as these things are you could get a pretty dense bramble!
