Clock Regioning Tips
Design Studio
The Design Studio office hours have been modified to end at 8:30pm on M-F.
In the Design Studio there will always be two tutors to help; one in the fabrication area and one in the assembly/Lasercamm area. See the pots by the door to identify who the TA on duty is.
Students are encouraged to help each other with clock fabrication.
Lasercamms
Do not move the UCS on the file you use for the Lasercamm. Instead copy pendulum drawing to a separate file for the analysis.
Do not enter text in the file you use for the Lasercamm; it will cause a warning message to appear
Splines can generally be cut with the latest version of the Lasercamm software, but you may need to explode them.
Many warning generated by the Lasercamm software can be ignored. It is best to use the view function to see if the dmc file will cut properly.
Currently the only way to use the small Lasercamm (number 2) is to create the dmc file on the computer connected to that machine.
Extra Credit Assignments
An extra credit sketching assignment has been posted and is due at the beginning of lecture Tuesday of Week 3 (see Schedule)
Clock extra credit assignments are posted on the Clock Project page on the bottom.
