Assignment
in this week we are assigned to Make a machine as a group assignment. We agreed to make Kandoora Cutting Machine.Since this is a group assignment, Im assigned to make the head part
What to do
Procedure
We need information about the screws size, how to attach the timing built, profile slot and V wheel size to design the head based on the information collected. I used to visit GrabCad website to download profile t slot and V wheel 3D files
After downloading the required files we move to draw the head based on profile and the v wheel using Autodesk 360 fusion software Note that we need the screws size to make the holes for it. We also to design wire support and holder parts .
We need to move for laser cutting. I used 12mm Acrylic material for the head. To check the diamension of the wheels holes I used to laser cut 3mm acrylic as a test. for wire Holder I used to laser 3 mm MDF.
