Taking things a bit slower today and spending a bit more time checking and reviewing each step before proceeding.
Thankfully, after yesterday's crash, it looks like there isn't any major lasting damage, and after dialing everything back in, there appears to be repeatability, though only time will tell.
I got the wonderful opportunity to hone my deburring skills on a very complex part that had many small "fun-to-remove" burrs. I say this sarcastically because anyone in the machining industry knows how time-consuming and painful it can sometimes be with more complicated pieces.
I've got a possible deburring tool idea in my mind that may speed the process up, though I'm not sure how viable it is to make. The basic idea is a small steel tube, cut at an angle, so you've got a pointed tip at one end you would then pinch to get a corner shape at the end. My idea is that you could use this to scrape the tight corners where the edges meet up to another face and clear both faces it comes in contact with, rather than having to lightly go back and forth on either side with an Exacto knife.
