Modifications to the track (mechanics)


Here is the modification to the track I made, based on the advice that Marianella and Yasu gave us on presentation day. Now the model is more accurate and works more like a printer as aimed.

Modelling the internals

I switched around the internals a little. Just a small revision, so everything works better and there is enough clearance. The green square represents the PCB. It wouldn't be that large but I left it big just in case.

Case Design

The proposed case is made from clear perspex and glossy ABS plastic. I modelled the case by extruding a 4mm profile. We wish for the case to be both wall mounted and free standing.

PCB

This is the PCB it looks pretty dodge but I hope it expressed the idea well enough. The base of the plastic is there so that water does not get in. and there is a top cover also. This area has also got space for the rest of the electronic equipment. The idea behind it is to control the fish like a printer head is controlled.
