YXiPad

Wanted to create a replica of the AxiDraw (shop.evilmadscientist.com/productsmenu/846#), and found this thingiverse.com/thing:1517211 as inspiration. Not meant to be used as a drawing robot, but as an XY touch pen working on an iPad controlled with image recognition and logic through Rpi with RPi-camera. Could probably look better using Linear bearings (LM10UU), but wanted to use the materials I had available. PS: Ongoing project, heading for vacation now, no updates for some weeks. PS2: Some pictures might not match last design files as going through several design iterations.
