Been awhile since I've posted or done significant work. I've been distracted by other things for awhile.
I took some time over the last few days to merge Treadwell's revised eyeboxes into the main branch of my project, incorporate the neck piece, and fiddle with the project drawings to make use of the multi-page drawing feature that recently went into Fusion. This is primarily for PDF output. It makes drawings much more manageable. Because of the way exploded views work in Fusion, I haven't yet found a way to integrate my lens subassembly drawing into the main PDF, so that one remains a separate file, which is fine. Two separate drawings is still better than seven.
Most of the drawings are 1:1 scale, or larger. I made the sheets A2 sized to make them a bit less busy.
This is the resulting PDF. If the link doesn't work, the file is in my user gallery.
There is a bit of a glitch with Fusion 360 drawings where a line drawing will show components in the correct position, but a shaded drawing sometimes will show one or more components slightly shifted, or even in entirely the wrong place. This can happen simultaneously, meaning the edges in shaded drawings are in a different position than the colored surfaces. The result looks like this:
Thus, I could only get away with shading a few drawings.
In mostly unrelated news, I was recently given one of these things, pretty much because it resembles an R2 unit. Mine lacks the handle. It's about 4 inches in diameter, and maybe 6 inches tall. I think I will turn it into a miniature droid of my own design, though probably not an R2.
