Form refinement

I have refined the form by making it more usable with its backing system as well as considering how the clock will hang. I edited the original “legs” produced by fusion 360 so that they now have a bit that the backing plate can clip onto as well as spokes for the Neopixel strip to wrap around and stick onto. I discussed with Emma how to go about this and she said just to edit the illustrator file with the pen tool. Her diagrams are below.

new leg with no text and spoke for LED.

We can see in the image above, the new spokes are placed too far right meaning that the neopixel strip does not connect. The are also too long (30mm) I think 20mm will be plenty of room.

Final leg vector

Above is the final leg part of the design. I have moved the spoke in further to around 15cm from y axis so that the neopixel strip fits around the form. I also have decreased the depth of the spoke so it only goes down 20mm.
