Continuity and Mimas's mast tower comparison

Posted in Roadmap by Giorgio on 18 September 2023

After a week of testing, the mast tower v.1 was ready! I tested two versions of the head (with a slight variation in weight - the final version is the white one) and verified the precision of the 3D-printed gearbox: despite a backlash of < 0.5 cm, it performs smoothly and is visually precise. This is something that must be improved in v.2, possibly reducing the backlash to < 0.2 cm or lower. I also compared the mast tower of Continuity with Mimas' one: the difference is really impressive, but despite being shorter, Continuity's mast tower is much more capable! It will be equipped with a higher resolution camera (compared to Mimas' camera), laser distance sensors and other instruments!
