Mechanical Design For Makers | Zero To Maker Workshop

🔗 *The full guide* : _https://core-electronics.com.au/courses/zero-to-maker-workshop/#12-mechanical-design_

There are 2 ways to avoid making bad mechanical design choices. 1 you create a mathematical model and run computer simulations to determine what the most optimal choice is, or 2 you make a design choice, realise it's a bad choice, and learn not to do it in the future. For us makers, that latter option is the usual path, and in this chapter, we try and speed up the process by going over the design choices we have made in our projects.
