The first batch of electronics arrived. I picked them by best guessing the stuff seen in the video from ‘Tested’. I decided to go with the SG90 servos as they are dirt cheap compared to the digital metal gear servos. The only problem so far is that I don’t have any clue how to code […]
A first sketch of the Z axis is done. Currently I am not happy with how the servo is mounted to the carbon rod and the top linkage between the servo and the head cap. This is all subject to change. After building the head piece I decided to have another look at the video […]
After the initial proof-of-concept-I-am-not-totally-incapable I restarted the mechanics from scratch trying not to clutter my build history and sketch folder inside Fusion360. I enlarged the gap in the center of the two axes so that a 4mm carbon fibre rod can move smoothly. I decided to use such a carbon fibre rod because my Z […]
