Close to Fabrication

Yesterday, I alternated between programming and 3-D modeling. I've assembled most of the components for the pulley supports. It has taken probably 8 hours in total to build this 3-D model. I ended up recreating the assembly this morning because some of the constraints I created on the previous assembly prevented me from moving the pieces around.

In some ways, this looks pretty similar to the mode I drew in SketchUp almost two months ago; however, this model has 3-D models of actual parts that I will purchase this week and the dimensions are exact.

I still need to create a design for the housing that covers the encoder, but that is a job for this afternoon/evening.
