The 3D structure that we developed has five wing like protrusions coming out from the base which hold the ball bearings. The wings are used to press into the tube hence creating the required pressure to move the fluid. Two 3D-printed spring structures were designed with either single-sided or sandwich mountings for five ball bearings. | The 3D structure that we developed has five wing like protrusions coming out from the base which hold the ball bearings.

We use an Arduino Uno to control our pumps. Each pump is connected to the Arduino via the stepper driver.The digital ports are used to send simultanious 1 and zero or HIGH and LOW signals at our own specified time interval to control the pump. | We use an Arduino Uno to control our pumps.

# Top layer : Anything in pressure always pops out of the system. So we need a restriction layer. Our top layer does this trick by having a smaller diameter than the pumping layer. | # Top layer : Anything in pressure always pops out of the system. So we need a restriction layer.
