Doorstep climber - New Tracks part 2

Image: 
project: 

Learning from our previous mistakes is a big part of rapid prototyping, so once again we went to improve the tracks for our track system.
We didn't change much about the model, although we took extra care on feeding it to the shop-bot computer.

What we did change was the material in which we would carve the model for the mould. This time we used machinable wax.
To get the whole mould in one go we needed to melt down some wax bars, and pour it into a container with the size of the bar that we needed.
