Step 2: Lift
Pls. Note: I didn't have the time to count the pieces on the lift. If anyone can pls count the pieses on this ( rods, connectors, others ), that would be great! Comment the pieses so then I can update! Also this has been tested and it works!
Step 3: Finished!
Notes on the machine:
- Project Elapse took exactly 2 weeks to do ( December 6-20)
- You will have to manualy load it up because it might not make it to the pickup part
- If the lift loader (on the chain) breaks off, reattatch it.
Hope you enjoyed! Comment if you have questions or comments on this project! Until next time folks!
