9/12: I went to the Fablab on my personal time because I wanted to progress on my project. First of all I printed the bearing supports. I then had to break the old ones because I wasn't able to pull out the bearings. Once the printing was over, I put the bearings in and helped me with the vice. I had to print again one support because one of them broke when I tried to insert the bearing.

Once I had the four pieces done I worked on the axis. I had a 30cm steel shaft so I needed to cut it in half. I used a metal saw to trim it and then I filed the edges.

12/12: I worked on the construction of the arm. First, I cut in plywood the parts I modeled. Then, I started to assemble. I fixed the bearing supports on the structure as well as the axis support. I needed glue to fix the bearing to the shaft. I was able to build the first and second parts but didn't have time to build the third part nor the claw. I don't know if I'll be able to do it.
