 Mechanical Components

The mechanical parts of the drift robotic arm are fabricated using 3D printer. The time
taken to fabricate the parts is calculated using the Cura Software.

Cura Settings:

1) Material: High Quality Economy Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS)

2) Price : RM 63/ kg = RM 0.063/ g
3) Diameter : 1.75mm +- 0.03mm
4) Infill Density : 20%
5) Profile : Fast
6) Generate Support : Yes
