mechanical design

make a machine, including the end effector, build the passive parts and operate it manually

For the next two weeks I will be making a machine with my team composed by Ilias, André and Óscar.
We decided to build a camera time-lapse slider. All the documentation and images of the process will be posted in the link below, in the group documnetation page. This week we really worked as a team, in which everyone of us would contribute with what they were more proficient with acording to everyones abilities.

My contribution this week has been helping to sketh the first prototypes of our machine, later we decided the components and strategies together. Then I proceeded in testing and finding out the parameters for the plexiglass in the laser cutter. After that I cut all the pieces for the camera-slider that Ilias had designed and proceeded to assemble them.
A few images of what we have so far below. See full documentation here.
