X, Y, and Z: Putting it all together

January 18th, 2010 by Sara Leave a reply »

Once all the stages were assembled, it was time to put them all together.

To install the X/Y stage, we first had to attach the X-stage belt to the pulley and stepper motor, and make sure that it was at a good tension. Once that was done, the rods needed to be threaded through the side of the printer body, then through the bottom of the X-stage, and finally stopping on the other side of the body. Then, finally all the stages were together and we had a fun time playing with the stepper drivers to move each stage and see how all three of them would work together.

Here are some pictures with them all together:
