Progress:
Last month, we received and mounted the new acrylic sheet. As requested, the new sheet is smooth for any art that may require a smooth surface (such as pencil sketches) compared to the previous textured sheet. Wiring continues and the code is being written. The linear actuators work and move in sync.
Mounting:
While mounting, we have also designed and printed surface mounts for the table with more stability and support. The design allows for the frame and the middle mount. On top of that, the prints for the linear actuator have been finalized and printed. These parts are now ready to be implemented.
The electrical box has also been mounted. We have planned out where each component (power supplies, circuits, stepper motor, etc.) within the box will be to ensure that they are easily accessible for maintenance. Below is the a diagram of how the circuits will be mounted within the box.
Goals for December:
This month, we plan to complete the table. We have ordered and received all required hardware and electronics. We will complete the wiring and programming processes that we have previously began, as well as zeroing the linear actuators. After the electronics are complete, we will assemble the table for further testing.
