Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
finalize design
3D printing redesigned parts
Accomplishments from Previous Week
final design printed and assembled to make sure everything fits
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
submit CAD files to Solid Concepts to print (5/30)
show final prototype design to sponsor
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
want consistent friction
rough surface can result in preload force (spring)
distance jumps from torsion if diameter too small
torsional stiffness of rod will increase with bigger diameter
belville washer
add friction to the top RF mount
smaller the gear, the finer the positioning
schedule time for bumps, may possibly need to reprint
Inklife might have faster turnaround time
purchase PC spool to print with Stratasys in design studio
try printing in parallel
parts can fail if not stiff enough even though higher tensile strength
Risks and Areas of Concern
testing adjustability with polycarbonate pieces
Schedule
send in final CAD models to Solid Concepts for printing
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
$337.35 Spent
$6,162.65 Remaining
