Motor mounts, and frame progress.

After bringing all the components back to the senior project lab in school, and getting permission from various school officials to work on this project. I laid everything out. I loosely attached all the components to their mounting boards, and semi-permanently drilled drywall screws to attach the mounting boards to the 2x4 frames. This required a great deal of pre-drilling to ensure nothing cracked.

Using scrap 2x4s i machined some blocks to affix the y to the x axis. The

manner in which i assemble everything requires some careful thought. I put this on the back-burner to see if i want to make a solid aluminum plate design instead. You can see how the y axis will rest on the x when complete

These are some motors mounts i machined out of some scrap steel. One side is not flat, so it could be an alignment issue in the future, but it was a good exercise none-the-less.
