Accomplishments<\/b><\/p>\n

With the arrival of the ordered parts, I switched gears to 3D printing the STL files we had on hand. As the original XY robot was designed for drawing images converted to GCODE, it was necessary to create a mount that would hold a standard plastic cup rather than a pen or pencil. I quickly ordered some PETG plastic filament at the recommendation of my roommate who owns his own 3D printer, and got to printing the parts. As a bonus, PETG is recyclable!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

By inspecting the stl file for the<\/span>\u00a0pen mount, I could determine the screw hole diameters and width between them, so that I could replicate the screw holes in a new mount. I created a rough cone component that captured the general shape of a standard plastic cup, and performed a join cut to create the opening in the part. After some additional cleanup and adding some structural support, I was left with the final part. The cup should be held above the table by around ~10mm, but if too high or too low, it should be easy to move the screw holes and adjust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Progress<\/b><\/p>\n

With all of the parts printed, assembly will properly begin next week. I intend to follow the original guide and ensure that it works before replacing parts with ou<\/span>r custom pieces. Once this is done, I will look into generating GCODE that tells the XY robot to move the holder to a specific location.<\/span><\/p>\n
