Main head assembly begins

A project log for ProtoPnP

The goal: to make a Pick and Place machine that is small on cost but big on ability

Modelling for the pick and place has been finished. The trickiest part has been the main head where the solenoid, hollow shaft stepper, webcam, and syringe extruder all need to fit. This needs to be as tight as possible - any space savings here increase the working area of the pick and place.

All of the parts have also been printed, with some reprints now in progress, and the assembly of the main head has begun. While it has been tough to fit everything together, it is slowly getting there.
