Day- 19

June 11th 2015

These past few days have been used in an attempt to create a final configuration of our printrbot to be used for the HDPrime.  Our final product is not as beautiful as we had imagined but it does move in all three directions and functions as we had anticipated.  the pictures below don't even come close to revealing how many zip-ties we used in the re design.  Once the end of the final week started closing in on us we decided to put the coding on the side burner and come up with a physical product.  After sawing off some wooden parts we re-mounted the X-axis bed atop our structure.  The printrboard still lies outside our structure and with all the wires remaining uncovered, plans for modeling a new stage to be made in the fall have been made.

side view: the bed that was originally mounted above the SD card is now placed atop our Y-axis arm allowing the bed to move in all three directions and not just one
