Evertyime I think I'm done, I visualize the next iteration. Sigh...

5mm thick leaves mean almost everything hanging off the Pi Zero is flush. Also, the first of these thick leaves was built with the exact Zero dimensions. Let's just say, a $350 3D PRI ter just won't handle that. I upsized the perimeter by 1mm while keeping the pegs. Did I forget to mention I designed a 2mm radius peg instead of 2mm diameter? That was AFTER upsizing the perimeter. FML.

Had some artifact I just cut off and filled with superglue. Here are the first 2 successful leaves (1 still has the glue filler drying.). The 3rd 1 is getting printed in preparation for February 29th. ;-)

Cutting dovetails in a modelling program can get confusing, but I think I'll be done with the case in a couple days, and fully able to concentrate on the power issue. I'm sure glad I could implement WiFi, even as slow as it is.

Also, I found some plexiglass so maybe I can just make braces to slip them in and make a see thru case. This will depend on getting the initial case done.

This is one thing I can take away from this contest: It's easy to get lost in the weeds, sometimes you just have to make a release and stick with it.
