Preparation
- Prepare all required tools (complete documentation of tools used - Chris F at Factor e Farm can do this) and workspace
- Include scalability considerations and workflow for 1 machine, then 4 machines, then continuous production (100 machines)
- Purchase stock metal and other components (several full, well-organized pages are needed here; older pages should be mined for this)
- Stock steel (pictures from first build are desirable here)
- CEB Hydrauilics Order (complete lists already documented on wiki, need to be organized on this new page)
- Controller (v0.1 should be documented; v0.2 by Dorkmo, and v0.3 by Blair of Detroit Fab Lab should be added)
- Prepare all consumables
- Purchase outstanding itens
- 2 more main cylinders
- Power Beyond Fittings for tractor valves
Cut All Metal (Abrasive, Torch, Cold Cut, Ironworker, Bandsaw, Plasma Cutter, Oxy Torch)
Cut 10 pieces of 7/16"x6" heavy u-channel (this link should be filled with (1) a technical drawing from a library of any professional CAD package); (2) a real picture of the material, (3) a real picture or video of someone cutting it (all of: abrasive, cold cut, band, plasma, or oxy torch)
