Piezo Mount Finished!

Late Update Today

I know that I said that I would come with updates yesterday but school finished late and I ended up not getting the opportunity to work on the project. Today was however, a different story. I spent some time after school doing some drilling, cutting and a lot of filing. 

I have now completed the piezo mount for the scan head. The aluminium bar in this picture will become the top half of the scan head. On it is a plate held on by two screws. The piezo buzzer is mounted underneath this plate, so that it can be easily changed whenever necessary. 

I planned to have a wider bar for the scan head but it seems as though I missread the dimensions when ordering materials. It will still work though, since all the necessary parts still fit on it. I will however have to change out the three adjustment screws to two rigid standoffs and a a single adjustment screw. this design should retain pretty much the same functionality as the 3 screw one so it’s not a big compromise. 

For the scan head the only things left now is making a tip mount on the piezo and mounting the fine adjustment screw. The later requires a hole with a very specific diameter. Luckily my schools workshop has a small cnc router that could do the job. I have some tinkering time tomorrow, so if I get that router to obey my commands I can probably finnish the mechanical parts of the scan head then.
