  Order Everything

  Omc-Stepperonline: pretty straight forward just sign up, and order.

  Maedler: is a site where we order many mechanical parts. These parts are universal and available on many sites. https://www.mcmaster.com/

  Bearings: maybe it's locally available otherwise many sites are available for orderings these bearings, same goes for Timinig Belt, Pulleys, Retaining rings square axle, Circulair axle, end stops, MDF Plate.

  Sheet Metal: https://metalscut4u.com/carbon-steel, https://www.247tailorsteel.com/nl, https://csmfab.net/

  Bucket

  The Bucket is pretty straightforward, you get a wooden plank 18mm thick. you cut the required pieces out of it to make the field. We used a total piece of 344X122cm. And had something to spare. You need to be a little creative on the holes not everything is done for.

  This undercarriage looks pretty cool. It was drenched with linseed oil. It had no time to dry.

  LRAM (Linear Rotational Axle Mechanism)

  We thought about a rack and pinion system. Electromagnet system, only they're really expensive.

  So we settled for something more simple.

  One part is a linear belt system where a slider is dragged linearly over an axis. there's a bearing clamped into the slider. Which allows for free rotation whilst the linear movement.

  The inside was the first circular with a feather key inside it. The other part would slide through. The problem we ran into was that the friction was too high. So we used a rectangular aluminum extrusion with the same mechanical principle in mind, only a different shape to translate the force to.
