Stoplight Done (Week of 2/6)

As I said last week I finished the stoplight and added the final few touches.

One of those was replacing the old parts from the stoplight. The acrylic holder and switch holder cap. So I reprinted the switch holder cap earlier in the week. I got a timelapse video of the print as well.

After that, the stoplight was taken down from the stand and set on the table so I could get to work rewiring it for the acrylic holder.

The old acrylic holder didn't look too good because it had sporadic holes and was cut in an out-of-place color with the stoplight.

I had to do some rewiring anyway so everything came out.

I got to work on making the new acrylic holder with proper slots and holes for the relay and PCB. It took several iterations but in the end, I got a good-looking final product.

After mounting everything in correctly I ran some tests to make sure that the stoplight would still run before I put it back on the stand and it worked.

Complete and operational stoplight

This stoplight is now completely working with the final touches added. Now I just have to present it.
