Surgical mask adjusters

With so many essential workers needing to wear masks all day long, the stress on the ears can be very painful day after day. We used our 3D printers to make print surgical mask adjusters using an open source design.

**Last count we have made over 150 adjusters.

Senior Keychains

With going to remote learning the rest of the year, we wanted to try and do something for our seniors. This is a time lapse video of what goes in to engraving that many keychains.

Emergency Button Cover

Problem: There is an emergency shut off button in the old wood shop right by the laser. The purpose of the button was a quick way to kill electricity to the room in cases of an emergency. While we still want to have access to the button in cases of emergency, we also would like to prevent inadvertent power shut off that could lose student work and/or cause damage to the computers and machines in the room.

Design and create a box that will cover the button, but still gain access to the button.

Solution: Using CAD Conor designed a box with a front cover that can be easily lifted to access the button. Original trial cuts using cardboard showed students they had an interference fit with the front door which made opening it quickly impossible. Conor recalculated the appropriate tolerances and modified his design. We cut each of the final pieces out of red transparent acrylic, assembled and attached to the wall.

Trophy Project

Status: In Progress

Problem: The trophy cases at the HS are overflowing and have no room for new trophies as well as trophies in the cases are so packed that reading them is not easy. In an effort to maximize space as well as create spaces to showcase student work at the high school, the athletic department wants to create two large plaques showcasing all of Bellbrook league championship trophies for men and women sports. Parts from the trophies taken from the cases will be re-purposed as well.

Solution: Two 2' x 4' pieces of wood were stained and grid out for well over 100 1" x 3" plates as well as one larger plate at the top. High strength 3 mm magnets will be embedded into the plaque to secure the plates to the plaque.

Makayla and Marco cataloged all 172 trophies by year, sport, and gender. They will then laser engrave that information onto the individual plates and attach to the plaques.

Goal: Finish 1 plaque before Christmas break. Finish 2nd by end of January.
