Objectives
The COSMOS cluster 2 first project is the clock project. Which tries to teach basic engineering skills through software like Fusion, Auto CAD, and Working Model 2D. Respectably, each software provides graphic design and analyzation skills. For example Fusion is used to create, design, and model the clock. Following, AutoCAD was used to edit DXF files and separate layers to outlines and etchings. We then send it to the laser cutter to finish creating the clocks. Lastly we created a video in working model 3D. This simulates how the clock works before laser cutting.
Challenge
Some challenges I faced is being new to coding and designing. I have never worked with these software and materials so it was hard for me to understand what to do and where to go, I asked many questions about how to navigate the software. But once I understood how to navigate the software and workshop, I was able to complete my pendulum clock with only one hiccup.
When gluing the resin onto the long shaft, I left about 1/4 inch of space between the end of the shaft and the resin. This caused a screw to not sit at the correct position. Ultimately my pendulum was off center and fell multiple times.
The Fix
To fix this I had to create a new resin shaft with the new knowledge I obtained. I made sure the resin was flush with the edge of the shaft to ensure the screw will be in the correct position.
Outcomes
Outcomes
Give a summary of the most important outcomes, This may include a picture of your design and a summary of your analysis. A side-by-side comparison of a movie of your Working Model 2D simulation and your actual clock would be good to include here.
Some of the most important outcomes were during the designing phase in Fusion Autodesk and AutoCad. During this process, many mistakes were made helping me understand more about each software as this is the first time I have used it.
