Ella’s Status Report for 3/14

This week I worked a lot more on the CAD and I got the first batch of parts printed, and I also laser cut some other parts. I have the focus mechanism mostly test-fit together which is very exciting, and I have the tilt mechanism done in CAD and I printed some parts for it. The pan mechanism will be a next week issue most likely. Tomorrow I intend to get the motors running again but this time with the mechanism parts attached. We are overall pretty on schedule, but I am feeling slightly nervous about upcoming road blocks that may arise like struggles with getting all the parts to work together as we intended. By the end of this upcoming week I hope to have all the major parts 3D printed / laser cut and the main mechanisms at least dry fit, even if the whole system isn’t all integrated physically together yet.
