Week 4
This week we started printing our structures out. We printed a holder for the dish which will fit onto the bottom. (As seen in figures 1 and 2), and a holder for the external magnet as seen in figure 3. We had a chance to test the dish holder and it fit perfectly. We are still waiting for the magnet holder to print.

In addition, we added a new option to the software. The option to graphically set the circular path that the magnet will go on by just clicking a point. We are still working out the bugs on this feature though.
We were also able to get the stepper motor to run at it's highest speed, we now just need to work on sending commands from the python code.
We were informed that we may have to switch to a smaller dish. We are going to make a few gel samples and test it to see how the magnet reacts in each dish.
