<p>Thanks to the documentation of my instructor Pablo Nuñez and the Jake Read repository, I begin to design the machine. In this case we are going to create a machine with two X and Y axes, like a plotter, in which the end effector can be something to paint.</p>
<p>Jake's modules are easy to manufacture because you only need three parts of the structure cut with the laser and assembled with small 3D printed parts. In Kerala they designed some legs, so that the module can be supported. In our case, this is the layout of the machine.</p>

<h1>Future of the machine ...</h1>
<p>The machine was manufactured and configured in less than a week. It is something incredible, given the situation. 😊</p>
<p>But if we had more time, I would like to improve the end-effector. I would use a rack and pinion to raise and lower the marker and that would not mark the page, when it makes the trajectory in the air. I would also like to try using other tools, apart from the marker. Same as using a litter box and moving the sand with an awl, or marking the modeling clay.</p>

<p>Also, I have <b>ordered</b> all the necessary pieces to create Jake's modules this <b>summer</b> 🌞, in order to know and discover how these modules work and not stay with the desire to assemble them. </p>
