Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Testing current prototype
Working on final tweaks to achieve fill consistency
Accomplishments from Previous Week
3D printed and assembled latest prototype
Presented proof of concept
Goals for Next Week
Test prototype with different viscosity fill conditions (TEAM 5/5/16)
Tweak design changes and 3D print/assemble Mk. 5 filling rack prototype
Risks and Areas of Concern
Increased fluid viscosity might stop the capillary tubes from filling completely.
Breaking another 3D printer.
Information Required
The effect of the filling angle on more viscous fluids.
The sponsor’s thoughts on the current design.
Schedule
Meeting with sponsor to test the Mark 4 with more viscous fluids. (05/05/2016)
Design the Mark 5 based upon outcome of sponsor meeting. (05/05/2015)
Submit the Mark 5 to the printer. (05/06/2016)
Budget
$90 spent, $1910 remaining
Progress on Report and Webpage
High resolution CAD images were added to the media and front page.
The first draft of the report was written and submitted for feedback.
Feedback has been received for first draft of the report and edits are in progress in preparation for the next draft.
