Simple Piston
For this project you will practice using assemblies and joints.
Go to the Simple Piston Project set of drawings and create each of the parts in Fusion 360.
Assemble them all together into one assembly moves properly.
Create a single pdf with multiple pages with each part presented in isometric and orthographic (with dimensions) and the whole assembly presented in isometric.
Submit this pdf to your ePortfolio.

DES 2065 - Technical Design 2
Intermediate drawing skills
Appropriate isometric and orthographic drawing skills.
If you have completed the Simple Piston Project you have already accomplished the basic level skills in this area of study.
Developing Level - Two Stage Geartrain
For this project you must create a baseplate, Crank, wheel, and at least two stages of gears (4 gears) that provide a 16:1 gear reduction (you choose the direction).
You may use pre built gears, such as from the Robot CAD Library, or you may use custom built gears.
Examples
Proficient Level - Moving Mechanism
For the skilled level of this project you are to create a 2 stage Moving Mechanism (EXAMPLE) it can have 2 Moving Mechanisms put together. For the whole list of Moving Mechanisms you can attempt - go here
Your parts should be 3D printed and be compatible with a DC motor run off a battery pack
Your design can include a reasonable amount of PLA filament as well as:
m3 bolts (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 20mm, and 30mm lengths available)
bearings (6mm ID, 14mm OD) and
DC motor
Motion / Programing
You will need to design in motion using a DC motor (or servo) and 3D print / assemble your Moving Machines Mechanism.
Your design can include a reasonable amount of PLA filament as well as:
m3 bolts (8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 20mm, and 30mm lengths available)
bearings (6mm ID, 14mm OD) and
DC motor with Arduino
Servo with Arduino
Exemplary Level Example - Spider Bot
Create a working model of a Jansen Mechanism walking machine.
...that is the whole assignment...good luck.
