Mechanical Design, Machine Design

This week's assignment is to build a machine using digital faprication machines or making the machine using axis modules like MTM so i came up with this idea, making a cnc that grows seeds like the Farmbot.

All the team liked the idea and then we started to disscuss it then assign the tasks for each one in the team. there were two teams, a team responsible for the x,y axis, and a team responsible for the end effector design the first team Asem, Merihan, Hagag was lead by Asem and the second team Me, Seif, Mai was lead by me.

So i started to disscuss the end effector design with my team we needed to design an end effector that drops the seeds and waters them.

So, we came up with this idea: A cone that contains the seeds and with water ring outside of it and a linear actuator inside of it that works as a door and also pushes the seeds inside the soil

o i started to design the cone and the housing, mai started to design the water ring and seif started to design the linear actuator.

i used fusion360 to design the cone, it consists of 50mm cylinder and a cone with 10mm nozzle

Then i started to design the holder which is going to hold the endeffector to the x axis
