*Update*
We Have now made a first rough draft of how the machine will look, all the dimension isnt nailed but the proportions is something we`ve pretty much figured out.
Were have set up an order-list that will be handed to the assisting principle at our school so that she can order the things we need.
The list inlcudes,
Optoisolators, "batteryeliminator" (An adapter), transformer, a Dremel of decent quality, resistors at 330ohms...
and alot of more stuff, these are the ones which i find most interresting (and the only ones I remember:P)....
We will probably be talking to our contact over at SKF Actuators on monday, and we`re crossing our fingers that they will sponsor us with ballscrews and matching nuts
...
We`re also currently hoping to get som "metal-pipes" that would be ideal to act as "linear-shafts" (dunno if this is the correct word), the pipes that the x and z axis will slide on. They have a really nice finish and are light as hell, and theyre unbelievebly hard...
So, as it looks now, monday is the day that will be determining how this project turns out... sort of any how. f we dont get any ballscrews we will be able to order som cheap linear-screws, of course not as good, but decent any how. The "linear-shafts" anyhow is a little bigger challenge. If we dont get them we`re not really shure on what to do, but as we say over here in Sweden (directly translated) "That day, that sorrow".
