Budget Cost

Material
Description
Cost:
DC Motor
The Dc motor(Direct Current) is a motor that moves to one side, depending how you connect it. This motors are more difficult to control that the servo or step motors, but it has more torque(straight)
200 used each
Arduino
Arduino is a programmable target that has a microcontroller and other electronic components that makes you easy the control the components (sensors, motors, displays etc) of your projects.
350 each
Transistors
Transistors are an electronic components that function as amplification or as electronic switch.
25 each
Aluminum Profile
This profile of aluminum is very light, and beauty, but has a great coast
250 each meter
Aluminum Tube
This tube, are made to be modificated in the “lathe”, you can create a lot of pieces with this material using a “lathe”
 260 each meter
Iron Angle
This material is cheap and heavy, but functions very good to make resistand structures
 40 each meter
Servo Motor
This motors are like the Dc motors, but has an extra transition that control all the movements of them, those motors are the most famous used in robotics projects.
200 each
H Bridge
This H bridge is a electronic component that helps you to change the direction of the motors(Dc, servos and step motors).
 30 each
Serigraphy mesh
Those mesh are used for printing process of serigraphy
200- 300 depending, each
Wood
The wood we use in the project is for fabricate the serigraphy mesh
50 each meter
Serigraphy paint
This paint is special made for serigraphy paint
120 liter
Endless screw
This screw is long, and at the top, it doesn’t have a “head”, those screws are used to move things to the sides
150 each meter
Step- Motor
This motors are the most exacts in control, you can move it 360 grades. This motors don’t have much torque, but are very useful in projects that needs exact movements.
200 each


Resume Second Partial


In this second stage, we made the structure and some of the electronics components of the project, including the H bridge and the mesh motor movement. Another progress that we have is the chronometer and the joint of the other mechanics parts for the structure.  

One of the principal changes that we made is the fact that we modified the structure design, previously the structure had a very complex design, because we realized that it needed so many motors and so many engine work to do a low-comfortable machine that only allowed one print per time. So, for this reason we made a more simplistic design that allows two prints per time with a more efficient mechanism and more friendly operation.


The progress is good until now, because we only have one process left to do, a process which we name “The pre- drying stage”. Later we will implement the control system which is already designed.
