Here is a basic timeline delineating when I plan on accomplishing certain goals. The Laser Cutter will have an aluminum frame that can be disassembled. The Cross Bar will be driven with Timing belts and pulleys attached to stepper motors.
| Week | Milestone | |
| 1/29/2018 | Purchase Steppers, Raspberry PI, Belts, Pulleys | |
| 2/4/2018 | Create Model of the Base, Purchase other materials | |
| 2/10/2018 | Fabricate Base | |
| 2/16/2018 | Preform Calculations of Steps, Motors, Power, Etc | |
| 2/22/2018 | PCB Layout and design. Print PCB | |
| 2/28/2018 | Begin GUI design | |
| 3/6/2018 | GUI design- vector | |
| 3/12/2018 | GUI design- image | |
| 3/18/2018 | Test Functionality of base/ code | |
| 3/24/2018 | Refine System- Base (ADD LASER MAYBE) | |
| 3/30/2018 | Refine System- Code/ Speed | |
| 4/5/2018 | Refine System- Aesthetics | |
| 4/11/2018 | Prepare Presentation |
The timeline is thorough. My only question is whether the mechanical construction of the base can be realistically completed by 2/10. For your next post, it would be great to see the CAD model. I think you're off to a good start.
