Our next step was to actually print out our motion module. To do this we had to put all of the pieces into a drawing consolidate it so it would print out well. We tried to do this but the laser cutter was having some problems and we had to wait a long time before we got to cut out our pieces.
Having printed out our next step was to put it all together. It was all going pretty smooth until we took one of the wrong pieces of rod which is apparently smaller than the ones we are actually using and as we tried to fit all the pieces in... they were way too loose. So we proceeded to get extremely frustrated and redid all of the dimensioning for a much smaller hole. As we were waiting for our turn on the laser cutter we cut out pieces from the correct rod and found that, hey it actually fits.... all of that re-dimensioning for nothing.
Here is our fully put together motion module. Simple and working.
One iteration that we might have to do is make our tight fit parts tighter because some of the parts and slipping now. We shall see how it looks tomorrow!
