did a lot of rapid prototyping between yesterday night and today to turn all the accessories for the FPV camera gadget I built around this time last year into a fully wearable kit / functional cybergoth-y outfit.

this has been a lot of learning and playing around with the MOLLE / PALS webbing system. There's a bunch of different ways things can be designed to go together here and I'm still getting my head around how to design for it but it's quite fun.

The dual 9V battery holder is working great (first time printing ASA as well, seems like an ideal material for these) and although the LED badge holder had a design flaw it turns out just cutting it in half made it perfectly usable and secure 😁

The FPV display is *okay* as it is right now but requires removing the back panel by removing screws (which requires bending the carrier to access), which is very unelegant. I would've liked to use MOLLE sticks here but I didn't find a nice way to get printable loops in the right spot or attach fabric straps without interfering with the internals for now...

todo for tomorrow is making two bases (MOLLE loop and wrist strap) for the new camera gadget design, which now features a sliding dovetail attachment to easily move the electronics between different bases.

@s_ol this is amazing work. would be very interested if you are aware of any resources for beginners or helpful tips. I would love to make my own slings in a similar form factor.

@inscript oh should've maybe clarified, the sling was a 5-15€ aliexpress purchase 😅
I don't think it would take very much to reproduce it though!

I saw that the webshop I bought some materials from has been putting up videos about the basic sowing and construction techniques ok their youtube:

I haven't tried much of it yet though, so far pretty much all the sowing I've done has been strictly about finishing webbing to make some harnesses and just general straps. You can already do a lot of fun stuff with just that though, and I was thinking about pitching a workshop about it for the next chaos congress maybe :)
