controller i built for my bedroom lighting. I added an external relay to switch power to the strip when it's not lit. This saves 21w from just powering the ws2811 ic embedded on every LED.

Major overhaul of the coat. reducing the number of batteries and controllers

opened it up and moved the hood line from the right breast to the rear pocket so i can run a bundle to the battery and controller on a hip pouch

The goal is to reduce the load on my shoulders. this thing is already heavy

and there we go
the final fencing for quick alignment and zeroing.

i had a bit of a screwup when the bracket lifted following the final tab cut. maybe I'll just take them down to 0.25mm instead of a full cut so i just have to do a small snip with flush cutters.

milling the holes for registering double sided jobs. 327 holes in total. 300 for the grid, 8 for pinning to the base surface, and the rest for adding fencing.

the idea for the sheets of paper was so i didn't gouge the fresh surface i just spent days tuning and surfacing. pristine.
