So, after the ankle wedge was done, it was a simple task to just slap some paint on to it.
I’ve been toying around with ideas on how to mount this, as I really want most of the things on the droid to be removable, in case of service!
Not fixed the ankle wedge per se, but I’ve fixed the ankle cylinder and the ankle half-moon (The half round part underneath the cylinder that the cylinder rests on.
I drilled a hole from inside the cylinder down into the half-moon, and went as deep as I dared (watch your thoughts, Edwardo), glued 2 long M4 screws into the holes with superglue, cut the heads off with my dremel (wear goggles people!) and finally just secured them together with two bolts.
The cylinder itself sits tight on the ankle, by pressure alone, and if I need to, I can simply add some double stick 3M tape underneath the half-moon to really fix them into place.
Just look how nice it all looks when it’s all in place.
I still haven’t decided how to fix the ankle itself though. I may use magnets, I’ve got a shipment of magnets coming in..
Please note that the leg itself is not painted, but the half-moon is painted satin white. No clear coat, though.
