Worked on finishing up the cad for the components. I finished up the platform for the card shuffler to sit on and exported the dxf file to laser cut. However, techspark was too crowded this Friday, so I am planning on visiting again tomorrow (Sunday) to cut it and assembled them. The positive side about this delay though, was that I was able to discover that the initial design of the platform had the angle too high and was able to fix it. If we went on with that design, it could have resulted in the cards from the shuffler falling out before they could get shuffled.
With that discovery, to make sure that our design looks good, I decided to assemble the parts in fusion 360 to get the full picture. Since I grabbed parts from the autodesk gallery, some parts are not exactly what they are (like the caster wheels, and the shuffler, which I just replaced with a simple box), but they do a good job of showing us the general sense of where we are going. Now with this as the guideline, I will probably have an easier time assembling the parts together.
When I assemble the parts tomorrow, if it looks like how it is here, then we are good. If not, then we are behind schedule, so I will need to speed things up.
