Final Design Week
This week, we only worked for three days since 4th of July was a day off.
Monday: Arushi finished drawing our conceptual design, and finalizing it. We also created a spreadsheet for our bill of materials and inventory. We decided to begin printing out our model, so we started with the bottom piece, which takes about 4 hours to print. The printer had issues in terms of the filament not being able to stick to the base of the 3D printer, and so we planned to re-print the next day.
Tuesday: Victor worked on fixing the Prusa 3D printer and TAZ printer, reset the printer's settings twice, while Daniel and Arushi began preparing the presentation for next week, and Ben worked on figuring out how to program the Arduino.
Thursday: We revised the presentation that we will be presenting next week. We were also able to get both 3D printers to work so our production is going to be doubled. Today we printed out the top piece and the side piece. When we first printed out the side piece, the printer stopped printing out the 3rd layer. After 4 tries, the TAZ printer was able to print the side piece. The Prusa printer efficiently printed the bottom piece. Both the top piece and side piece were a success.
