Fig. 1 Karakuri book instructions Fig.2 Side view assembly of two Crank C mechanisms in panda model Fig.3 back view assembly of vertical Crank C mechanism
Followed Karakuri book instructions and template for two crank C mechanisms shown in Fig. 1.
- To prevent mechanical failure and experimental errors, I put toothpicks in the axle shaft to make it stronger and less likely to fail in order to get results similar to ideal MATLAB analysis.
- Uncertainty in human errors and friction are uncertainties that can cause deviation from ideal analysis MATLAB results. Some human errors during assembly process can include:
- Bending of components
- Tearing of components
- improper folding of components
- improper cutting of components
- Materials used to create Panda Paper Model
- Tape
- Toothpicks,
- Cardstock templates from Karakuri Book
- Glue
- Printer paper
