Made the y-axis

Made the frame out of 2020 extrusions and some corner brackets
Dual steppers for the y-axis
Added double shear for the idlers and motor
Made mounts for everything
Designed belt tensioners on the idler side

The y-axis is basically finished, might need some minor tweaks later though

Research

There are a few goals I want to achieve with this machine.

-Adjustable 50kV positive voltage potential (At the moment, 50kV seems to be a solid amount but I might increase it to 100kV later down the line)
-Sharp tungsten electrodes with adequate grounding for high amounts of discharge
-Ozone ventilation (the machine produces a lot of ozone)
-Neon bulbs (i would like to use gas filled bulbs as indicator lights etc and also larger gas tubes)
-Modular toolheads in order to change discharge shape
-Water electrolysis (oxygen production) to fuel the discharge possibly
-Audio modulation in order to make the machine play music with the plasma

I would like it to be a nice proof of concept to demonstrate that corona discharge engraving (which has not been done before) is a viable alternative to other methods such as lasers and hot wires.
