Tilt Table with Motorized Stand

thingiverse

Tilt Table with Sliders, Stop Blocks and Motorized Stand. Includes MATLAB code for clockwise tilt pattern for any given number of cycles. The large Tilt Table is hand operated due to its massive size and weight, it's also made from two layers of high-quality acrylic. The red magnetic sliders have their north poles facing outwards while the blue magnetic sliders have their south poles facing outwards.

A 3d printer is used to make the "Spacer". Other required parts for full use of the motorized stand are a computer with MATLAB, an Arduino, a servo motor shield for Arduino (optional), two 180 degree rotation metal gear servos, thirty-six screws and corresponding nuts, six D shafts, at least fourteen set screw shaft collars, four set crew motor hubs, and a drill and screw driver will be required for assembly. Other required parts for the magnetic sliders are eight neodymium magnets per slider, two washers needed for each non-magnetic slider to weight them properly, one plastic dowel rod per slider, and four plastic dowel rods per stop block. Sliders may require sanding for better performance. Two sets of servo gears need to be cut as well as two servo shaft connectors, the required number and length of spacers varies, the number of sliders and stop blocks depends on personal requirements. The 15x9 Tilt Table is the smaller tilt table that mounts onto the motorized stand, holes will need to be drilled with a countersink to properly mount. The code for running the motorized stand, "TiltCode_N_Cycles", controls the servos so that the table tilts in a clockwise pattern of down, left, up, right for any given number of cycles followed by a final downwards movement to complete each maze.
