The two components of the fishing rod were the casting mechanism and the box for the electronics housing. The casting mechanism is made up of 1/4" acrylic links connected with 6 mm bearings at the joints. Before the final laser cuts of the acrylic links were made, the prototype was cut out of 1/4" wood. The electronics housing is a jigsaw box of 1/4" wood with 3 of the 4 walls glued to each other to minimize the collapsibility, yet retain the ability to open the box and view the circuit. At the bottom of the electronics housing is a 3D printed attachment out of black PLA with an opening that allows for a weight to be inserted at the front. This piece is screwed into the electronics housing. As a finishing touch, the wood of the electronics housing was painted black to match the color aesthetic of the 3D printed parts. Additionally, two other parts of the assembly were 3D printed. The connector cylinder and the line holder were printed out of black PLA. The line connector was super glued to the output link with the fishing line then ran through the connector and attached to the multiple joint of the output link.
