Building a Pwdr Model 0.1
Building a model 0.1 Pwdr machine is pretty easy. Gather all the materials you need (there is a Bill of Materials at the bottom of this page) and start building! Below, you'll find instructions for the assembly of the chassis, XY gantry and pistons. Use the electrical scheme on GitHub to create the electronics the schematics on this page only give you a rough overview. The tools you need to build a Pwdr machine are a set of hex keys and screwdrivers, soldering iron and a pair of pliers. Currently not included in the Bill of Materials are the cables, I assume you have some cables in your workshop or else will find some cables that fit.
