The aim of the design is to resemble the mechanism of a 3D printer with certain parts provided for building. The final simulation will be presented to print a cube shape.
The design consists of three bars with motor inserted in each one as shown. The motor on each bar has its own 1-D motion. There is a thin plate on each motor to connect the bar in order for the 3D motion. On the bar that stands vertically, there is an extruder head.
7 Driving motor bars are used:
-2 on the bottom facing up
-2 on the top facing down
-2 attached on the other top and bottom ones facing front
-1 attached on the driving motor bars that are facing front
4 35-in supporting bars are used
-2 on the front side
-2 on the rear side
4 39-in supporting bars are used:
-2 on the right side
-2 on the left side
1 Extruder head is placed on the motor of the individual driving motor bar.
