SpaceCat Update: PowerBox Stack Assembly

Posted by on

Assembled the PowerBox stack this afternoon.

Environmental sensor mounted on side with cable routed under top plate

Sabrent USB hub with 3M mounting squares

Sabrent USB hub mounted to the top plate

Synta dovetail shoe mounted to the top plate

Guide scope test fit before trimming excess screw lengths

I don’t think this is going to work out, though. Seemed like a clever idea, but I didn’t anticipate just how much flexure the 3D printed parts would introduce. It’s not possible to mount the guide scope on the stack without experiencing significant differential flexure.

Going to have to come up with a better solution.
