Week #5 update
No major breakthroughs this week. We finished putting together all the parts, adjusted connections here and there, and fixed whatever was in the wrong position.
As you can see, things are starting to look a little messy.
This is our X carriage with the print nozzle and the proximity sensor. There also must be a fan to cool down the object that is being printed, but it needs some surgery involving a soldering kit and new wires.
These are three endstops: for X, Z and Y movement.
And this is us trying to put together our control board, which consists of an Arduino board, a RAMPS shield and stepper motor drivers.
Next week, hopefully, we will solder all the wires and put together all the electronic components. And maybe even start printing!!!
