Worked on initial CAD for the Right Ascension Axis.
I created a simple aluminum extrusion frame to get a super simple base design created. The aluminum extrusions are currently 10cm long, and I made a simple estimate for the length of the steel rods to be at 8cm for fitting the pulley spacings correctly.
One major achievement, was I found an incredibly good place to put the stepper motor. I placed it inbetween the four 80 tooth gear, perfectly inbetween without contacting any surface. This also allows me to slide it back and forth, to adjust tension for that specific belt loop. For the other loops, I will try to come up with a simple tensioning method, as well as bearings for the next work session.
Thank you.
