Goal: 

• Claire will design the head model for marketting (this is for in-class work; out-of-class work will be dedicated to MATLAB and testing still)

• Samantha will manufacture the head model with the laser cutter

What was actually accomplished?

• Designed the head model in Fusion360

• Samantha bought the necessary screws and couplings nut to assemble the spacer effect

• Samantha + Mr. Rojas laser-cut the acryllic base for the design and experimented with various hole sizes for the screws

  • Also explored possible options of laminating or etching a design into the base

• Claire +  Mr. Rojas laser cut the various files on folder / paper material for protyping reasons

Problems Run Into:

• Possible areas of concern:

  • Screws we bought are too long (3 in.): Might stick out of the head model 

  • Thickness of the material: Might be too thin and won't achieve the 3d effect the team is going for with this design

  • dowel-hole placement that was automaticallyu generated by the slicer might be too close to edges (resulting in breakage / incomplete holes)

  • The offset for the hole insert and the acryllic material is not aligned / scaled correctly

Goal for next week

• Materialize the final design with all available materials
