Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
design review from sponsor
redesigning components
Accomplishments from Previous Week
proof of concept presentation complete
spoke with Isiah Freerksen
suggests Solid Concepts
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
set up an appointment with Solid Concepts for more information on 3D printing
start designing RF coil assembly
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
optic cable is only 200-300 microns thick
can just squeeze with rectangular plate clamp
air puff comes from behind the whiskers angling down
head holder will keep mouse from jumping out of hammock
can't strap down body to keep it from moving since it will panic
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
sticktion - hard to make small incremental adjustment
possibly embed nylon nuts to prevent wear-down of fastners
only print one part in high resolution and medium resolution on projet printer or increase clearance for dimension printer
address 3D printing clearance problem
go to sponsor with fully functional part
find a machine shop to machine a part in delrin for comparison
get quotes
Risks and Areas of Concern
fatigue life of nylon screws
machining issues with design for delrin
cost of machining and time much higher than cost of 3D printing
Schedule
meet with Solid Concepts
start designing RF assembly
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$323.23 Spent
$6,176.77 Remaining
