Portable and Efficient
Small PCBs ~ Big Solutions
Great for fast prototyping and workshops. Aligned with Fab Academy prototyping paradigm and to avoid "breadboarding"!

Design Ideas / Premises

1. Just for PCB's;
2. XY precision;
3. Zcut with calibrated through hand-controlled bolt;
4. safe Z activated with solenoid;

Machine Design and Building Process

1. Tasks:
   1. Machine Body and XY actuators - Filipe Silvestre
   2. Spindle with Integrated Z actuator (through Solenoid) - André Rocha
   3. Machine Assembly - João Ribeiro
   4. Electronics - Filipa Silva


2. Sketches


3. 3D design


1. CAD


2. OnShape



4. Electronics


1. Ramps 1.4 from a regular 3D printer
2. 12V 5A Power Supply
3. Nema 14 Stepper Motors
4. Endstops with mechanical switchs



5. Achievements:
   
   
   1. Great Skecth for machine design, very practical and easy to assemble
   
   
   
   2. Fast production with laser cutter, assembly and manual motion
   
   
   
   
   3. Automatic Motion
