The 3D model is updated

The rig needed a bit more power and so we bought some more appropriately sized motors. And as such the 3D model had to be revised. There have also been a few other adjustments, one being that the arm holding the camera is now hinged on both sides by the addition of a ball bearing oposite of the upper motor.

We couldn't find any premade models of the new motors we bought so we made some sketches ourselves. The result is not incredibly photo-realistic, but at least the measurements are in order.

Here is a quick render and a few images:



Current version of the rig


And a render in exlploded view

And this is how it looks when working with it in SolidWorks

And for comparison this is the actual rig in it's current unpolished state
