TO DO
-
For printbed
- design light box (don't forget cut-through slots for cables)
- laser cut it
-
For extruder + camera Holder
- design it
- 3DP using PLA
-
For z-Frame
-
design a U-shaped holder for z-linear actuator (NEAM 17+leadscrew+ x1 linear rail)
- take into account syringe+needle tip length
- start backwords from the light-box
- design base for z-linear actuator
- this will mounted on the flat side
- possibly add an in termediate plate made form Alu
-
machine the U-shaped holder
- Water jet thick HDPE (2") sheet
- Flat operration using TRAK on the side, where the z-linear actuator will be mounted
- Holes for mounting the z-linear actuator
- Holes for mounting on the HDPE base plate
-
3DP(Eden) base for linear actuator
-
-
For extrusion
- pneumatic
- make PWM operation of electropneumatic regulator
-
For pressure Measurements
- figure out the sensor
-
For computer vision
- calibrate camera
DONE
- fix current microscope stage
- start with the mini linear axes | miniature flexible shaft couplings form SDP SI
- adding linear rails - constraints
- not side rails but lay them flat to maximize load tolerance
- add constraint pins to linear rails
- update CAD model
- order
- make a new microscope stage using your drawing inspired by the confocal's stage
- CAD model
- order
System Components
- Uscope Stage:
- X linear actuator x2:
- Y linear actuator x2:
- Z linear actuator:
