So today I went down to the local harbor freight and picked up some goodies.

I bought one of the steel carts. I will use this to build iteration 3 of the machine with the linear actuator for the trap door. As of today I have all the parts needed to build version 3 including the relay board to control the linear actuator. Using the steal cart really is going to make it easier to move around and show off. It was not fun moving it last time to bring it to the local mini maker fair.

I got a hole cut in the top tray of the cart. Took about 5 minuets with an angle grinder.

I plan to get the 3d printer mounted tomorrow or on Tuesday along with the trap door and actuator.

The new trap door will be made with 2 pieces of plywood and use a pice of squishy foam between them to allow for some leeway in tollerences.

Expect an update video in the next few days and some really good documentation and build of materials information.
