On our Tinkercad design we included five main components; a fan, the first chamber, a vent, a filter, and the second chamber. the purpose of the fan is to bring all of the carbon dioxide around into the first chamber. Once the carbon dioxide is in the first chamber it then goes through a filter which separates the carbon dioxide. Next all of the excess molecules exit through the vent in the first chamber. After being filtered, the carbon dioxide is then in the second chamber which is meant to store it until it is ready to be collected.
First Design:
The first design had a honeycomb filter and no fan to bring air into the chamber.
Second Design:
This design had an slated air vent that would stay together when 3D printed. Also, we added a fan that would help to suck in the CO2 for it to be processed.
When Darin printed out the second design, the fan and filter were not able to print our because they were suspended in air. After seeing the issue with this we reformatted the tinkercad to be separate parts it was able to be printed by the 3D printer.
Final Design: While the set up of the CO2 capturing device is still the same, the components have been split up to make it easier to print.
