The Kraftplex Body, The 3D Design & The Circuits

1) Prepare your files

In this document you will learn about preparing the necessary files to laser cut and assemble, in order to start building your robots. Some of the steps or programs used can be changed, i.e. you can model from any program as long as you extract .dxf files of the pieces you will manufacture. You can access the execution of the steps from the video index. Click here for a for extensive course in prototyping with Fusion 360.

2) Learn how to use the Laser Cutter

In this document you will learn how to use the laser cutter. This document will show how to manufacture the Lemon robots using Adobe Illustrator for preparing the files and an Epilog laser cutter for manufacturing.

3) Learn how to set up the electronics!

This document will show how to setup the electronics of the Lemon robots. Each section will go over both how and why each part is used. Some of the parts or wiring that are given as examples in this guide may not be exact to yours, like how you may have chose a different brand of voltage regulator than the one used in the guide or the ports you may have used for your wiring. As long the components are listed with a * those parts of the circuits are interchangeable.

4) Learn about Python!
