Assignment 9: Mechanical design
After unsuccessful attempts  to construct the machine part using cardboard, we desided to implement the machine using plywood.
I generated the parts for the frame and stage with an Inkscape extension Lasercutbox, and modified the generated parts to have holes for the guide shafts and stepper motor.




The parts were clued with Titebond, and the results is a very solid construction.


The two frames were screwed in 90 degree angle to have X- and Y-movement. At about this time we desided to make an automated guitar, thus the pick at the end of the Y-arm.
