I had some fun today planning how to route a ton of cables through the deck.
First developed deck outline and screw holes to a flat plane with transparent paper
Designed a stencil for routing, of course it is flat now, tested a router extension i made that helps to slide over stencil and helps making sure that the depth is constant.
So far so good.
Lets make it 3D so the stencil follows the deck. A quick hairdryer run and the printed PLA gets soft enough to follow the curvature perfectly. Also I have used truck and bindings holes be able to hold stencil in place for the routing
Looks really good so far.
First hav to finish bottom side with the print and one more layer of CF. Then will cut all the channels for cablings on top. Fun times ahead

I did a test run of the routing adapter. It went really well I must say
Also modeled this little inlet to the enclosure, it will be printed from hard TPU this way I can seal it from the inside of the enclosure, printed just the bottom of the enclosure aswell so i can check alignment
Now onto printing the rest of the routing channel guides and finish all the routing, there will be 10 channels in total.

Bottom skin vacuumed, a few layers of epoxy more and then sanding to los a bit of shine and make it matte.
Next drilling trough the deck and finish all the in deck cabling

Had some extra time today to tackle the issue of rear light.
Routing wasnt that hard with dremel and soldering iron to melt a bit of this rubber going around the deck.
Looking good so far, I will fill and fox it with epoxy once done. Worried a bit regaring the led strip overheating. But. We will see how it goes.
