WEEK 5 

W05/2026

NIVAN - 

MONDAY - 3D Printed the right side components along with the mounting plate and FFF rails

TUESDAY - Began the assembly of the rails. While assembling the rails we were able to catalog all the items we had at the moment and what we still needed to obtain.

WEDNESDAY - Required additional Snap Rings to finish rails so we requested Mr.Rojas make 6 more. In the mean while we tested the builds we already have, One rail, which had all it's snap Rings, was able to bend and rise perfectly fine. The second railing however. kept getting loose due to the missing snap Rings.

THURSDAY - Obtained additional Snap Rings and finished the second railing. Now that the second railing has all of it's snap rings it worked just as well as it's counterpart. We also analyzed the mounting plate to see whether it needed to be modified or reprinted. We have decided to try and modify the STL file and then reprint,

FRIDAY -  Obtained majority of ordered components. Obtained Wires, Bluetooth Module, Arduino, Motor Driver, Stepper Motor. All that remains is the power supply and limit switches. We opened everything to ensure everything was intact, cataloged the parts and began to review and test them to see if they were functional.

HEATHER- 

MONDAY -  When I started assembling the scissor arms last week I found that we didn't have all of the components printed, so today we sent over the files that we needed to be printed. 

TUESDAY - Got the rest of the components, finished the arms of the lift. another small problem we came across was that we didn't make enough snap rings 

WEDNESDAY - Asked Rojas to make more snap rings 

THURSDAY - Got the snap rings and completely finished the arms, started to look at what types of screws we need to assemble the base with the side panels 

FRIDAY - Got some of the components necessary for our project, still waiting on some more components 

JULIO - 

MONDAY - Analyzed the components to ensure the groups standards.

TUESDAY - Meade sure that all the prints were the proper size and would operate with each other

WEDNESDAY - Looked to see if we forgot to print anything

THURSDAY - Helped find measurements, and concepts for the modified mounting plate.

FRIDAY - Absent

Future Plans:

As a group we all have our own individual roles such as Nivan as developer, Heather as head of modeling, and Julio as historian and designer. However, all of us have the responsibility to ensure progress as stated below is completed so that we are on the right track and can create an acceptable product

Week 6:

• Complete testing of physical components 

• Finish remaking the mounting plate design

• Have the finished mounting plate printed

• Start work on electrical components

  • If components are not fully tested take them home over the weekend to test

  • (Optional: Paint components to have a consistent color scheme)

Week 7:

• Complete the building of the physical scissor lift 

• Test Bluetooth module capabilities

• Test Basic Voice Control app capabilitie

• Work on the development of the final app 

• Continue testing final build 

• Test to see if the final design works ordinarily before adding Bluetooth and Voice Control features
