Mechanical & Machine Design
Introduction
The topic of this assignment is "Machines that Make". In particular, for this week, we have to design a machine that can create something, including both the mechanism and the automation designs. As any other project, we started from brainstorming phase.(all the ideas which we came up with could be found at Anke's page). We choose the Camera Slider idea, because all members of are group is interested in making photos, but never wanted to spend that much money on it.
Before starting to build our machine we brainstormed and sketched ideas how to construct the machine. We decided to build three axes into the machine:
- One axis moved the camera sideways
- Rotation axis
- Tilt axis
Design
Since I really enjoyed 3D Printing week, I decided to focus on making 3D printed "connectors". I did the design of it in Autodesk Fusion 360:
Then all the details were printed with Ultimaker 3 (0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height).
