This repository contains the documentation, code and 3D models for creating a do-it-yourself sewing machine using Arduino, some hobyglass and a 3D printer.
The objectives were to understand how the mechanism behind a real sewing machine works, to recreate it using 3D printing and easily available components, and eventually to add smart features to the sewing machine.
The upper mechanism which converts a rotational motion into vertical motion has been tested and works at full speed.
The objective of the project was to recreate a sewing machine using cheap and easy to find materials.
- An Arduino Uno is used for controlling the motors.
- The mechanisms were 3D printed on a Prusa.
- The case has been cut out of hobbyglas and joined together with hot glue.
The Arduino code for the project is very simple since the sewing machine currently doesn't have any additional features besides the core mechanism.
Developed as a final project for the Introduction to Robotics course by Unibuc Robotics.
