Overview of Status of Analysis, Design, Fabrication, Tests, etc.
Tested additional heating methods, needle gun, tumbling, baking
Decided to focus on heating as main method of resin removal
Accomplishments from Previous Week
Determined that heat treatment was the optimal method for resin removal.
Determined to incorporate compressed air after each heat + scrape pass
Goals for Next Week (list names after each item). Use specific and measurable objectives.
Purchase programmed linear rails
Finalize heating method
Conduct temperature specific tests to determine optimum temperature range
Look into 3d printing silicone like mat with dimples (according to hole alignment on print platform)
Sponsor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Obtained 25 dirty print trays (for the worst case print job)
Instructor Comments from Last Meeting and Actions Taken to Address these Comments (indicate date of comments and if via email or in person)
Ask Chris Cassidy for USB microscope (Chris advised it wasn't worth finding the drivers for it because the technology is quite outdated)
Solidify definition on clean and unclean (3D Systems will provide us the defined plates as soon as their printer is available)
Test freezing method to see effects on the resin (froze the printing trays in the fridge)
