I am very good at creating and thinking of ideas to make. One area of growth is to improve my coding skills. I would like to do clear documentation with nice photos. I also want to have by step-by-step completed page. Lastly, I would like to complete my posts on time and stay ahead so I don't accidentally miss one.

Eleanor and I designed a flower with an LED and a resistor for each of the seven leaves. I will remember to plan out my board after doing the schematic in a organized way.

Many people suggested that I could laser cut the cross pattern. Most other people voted on the alien design because it had more shape and texture. The last part of the feedback is that people wanted me to add lights. 

I think that this is a good design because it is simple yet very intricate, and I believe it will be a really cool design to come to life. Something that I have trouble creating is the front with the 3d printer since I want to make the colors very vivid (hot pink, electric blue).

I have done the cover and decided to do the front like a pineapple texture which would be 3d printed. The sides would also be 3d printed, leaving the back wooden with a hole to switch the speaker on and off.

My idea was that the front would feature a pineapple texture, the sides would be 3D printed, and the back would be made of wood. I dont need design modifications

I had to re-solder my circuit because I believe it got fried and it wasn't working.  I didn't understand what a capacitor did, but now I know it stores and releases electrical energy in an electric field.

I worked with Levi to make this circuit board. The original idea was to try and complete a full circuit that would power the speakers. I am very happy with the product, and I think I executed the idea well.

I think I had to work on was my base circuit because at first it didn't work because it was fried, but once I got a new re-soldered one, the circuit worked. I am very happy with my product and how it turned out. I worked with Eleanor to make a flower.

I am done with the front of the speaker, and that has been 3D printed. I lasercut the backside of the wood and completed the circuit, but there is something wrong with the main board I have to adjust. I need to complete the 3d printed sides, assemble the front with speakers, and finally complete my digital project. 

My goals for the Amplifier was to have a good sounding speaker with a basic, but interesting design. I think I executed well because I got a clean 3d printed design with and wooden back. Thinking about the work you created, what are you most satisfied with this semester?

I am most satisfied on my 3d printed color changing front on the speaker, because it adds and interesting touch, and the modeling was very difficult. I would change the hole sizes on the Rhino model to fit correctly the first time instead of having to correct it mid way through. I learned how to 3d print and use modeling skills to create a design on a computer from just a sketch.
