MACHINE DESIGN

I have been putting in a lot of work on different components of my assembler, including

-Stepper motor build platform
-Servo driven linkage arms
-Linear base gripper
-Gear/worm material cartridge drive system
-PCB multi-stepper control board, employing APA for communication with other control boards

Here is some progress on each:

4 bar mechanism base gripper, 1/8" lasercut acrylic, various scales
