Minicade first setup

Last two evenings I spend down in the basement and worked on my minicade. After I put together the first three parts namely the right side, top and bottom, I tipped the wohle thing on its side and put everything in place. I got a good overview if everything fits in as planned. And yessss, it does!

Next thing was to attach the cp in a proper way. I used a small hinge to get the angel. On each inside of the cp I added a metal angle bracket that I had to shorten with a metal saw. Later those brackets will be held in place by some strong neodyne magnets. I hope that 15 cm distance to the screen is enough – but chris99 tested it with 10cm distance without any disturbance. We’ll see…Here’s the cab, completely mounted for the first time. Screws are still lose because I will have to take it apart at least one more time for applying the slot for t-molding.

The marquee and brezel had been made from a 4mm strong plexi that I cut with my old rusty fretsaw, a fine blade and slow revolution speed. For the marquee I will need another one to sandwich the graphic.Tomorrow I will take care of lighting and the marquee….
