Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Research mostly completed
Initial design solution sketched
Solidworks modeling has begun
Will be a continuous process between brainstorm, sketch, Solidworks, 3D print, and test
First fabrication printed
The transplantation mold for 24hpf with dorsal up
Accomplishments from Previous Week
First design for transplantation mold printed
Tested mold in lab, waiting on feedback
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
CAD for 3D print mold (Connie)
Print molds for both designs, transplantation and 3D printed mold (Connie & Amanda)
Test both designs in lab (Amanda)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Email for a time to set up agarose gel
Try to do the 2nd (side) orientation too
Get measurements of fish using microscope.laser? (for future)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Make sure that the solidified agarose does not stick to mold when removed
Double check resolution of 3D printer is good enough for the fish mold
Focus on something measurable: Can the plate even create a mold? (try different shapes, possibly)
Split individual analysis components: 3D Printing, possible materials, different types of molds,etc.
Comments from Other Students in the Class (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Make more eye contact during presentation
Split talking more evenly
Make sure to explain terminology
Good job on answering any clarifying questions
Clear presentation and concise slides
Risks and Areas of Concern
No major concerns as of now
Resources or Information Required but not Available
Specific fish dimensions (websites may not be super accurate)
May need to get measurements by examination
Plastic toxicity to fish (not much research conducted on this)
May have to experiment with different materials
Schedule
See updated Gantt chart.
Budget (list amount spent and amount remaining)
Amount Spent
First mold for transplantation: $12
Amount Remaining: $1488
Progress on Report and Webpage
Report outline has begun
Internal pages of webpage have been started
