For this project we divided the machine in: housing, guides, core. I participated in the design process of the model. Later I will focus on programming the UI.

Guides

Bearings were downloaded from thingiverse. One thing we noticed, was guides were not uniform. We used a heat gun to expand the bearings and managed to insert them.

Finally, we assembled everything and tested. Bearing had little movement, so grease was added to improve smoothness.
