Hardware Realization

THE BODY

I found Acrylic + laser cutting to be quite a powerful combination . I prepared .svg files ( using inkscape ) for the body parts of the machine and got it laser cut from outside.

The acrylic was 8 mm in thickness .

I didn't put holes for the motors initially . I drilled it myself to allow manipulation of the position of the motors.

I cut angle brackets from aluminium and used unbrako screws to hold it all together .
