15. Mechanical design

This week I worked on making, alonngside the rest of my classmates, a machine for our mechanical design assingment. The machne is to be a 3d light painting machine which uses long exposure photgraphs.

The part

In order to make our machine, we divided the work between us, with each person making a particular part for the machine. In my case I set out to create the stand that would the phone when taking the photographs.

The first thing we realised when making a stand for the camera was that we where going to need a way to rotate it around the machine in order to be able to be able to capture the whole of the build plate. As such we decided to make a dolly that would spin about the machine.
