We 3D printed the bearing that holds the movable parts (the central part on the rail below)

We design and made electronics parts which are needed in automating our printer as shown

The PCB as per below diagram

The h-bridge PCB shown below this is for the drivers for the stepper motor

circuit development shown below.
