Explore the process of building a TBot cartesian motion platform in this 27-minute video tutorial. Follow along as the instructor machines parts and assembles a parallel cartesian mechanism, offering a more complex alternative to v-wheels and extrusions. Learn about milling techniques, drilling with carbide 2.5mm drills, and full profile threadmilling. Discover the components used, including MGN12 linear rails, GT2 steel-reinforced belt, and Anaheim Automation DC brushless servo motors. Gain insights into base plate machining, parallelism adjustment, motor plate creation, and isogrid design. Observe the assembly process, examine intricate details, and learn from mistakes and defects encountered during the build. Perfect for those interested in advanced motion platforms and precision machining techniques.
