Roller Chain Modeling Challenge
Time - 4 Class Periods
Challenge Objective - 3D model a roller chain link of your own design and print a series of five links without print supports. When completed, the link should move as a roller-type chain.
Criteria
Must be designed in SolidWorks
Prepared in a slicer for additive manufacturing
3D printed in PLA filament
An individual link cannot take up more space than 20mm²
Test prints (no more than two links) are required before full prints (no more than 5 links)
No slicer-generated supports allowed
Presentation - Place on the Additive Manufacturing page.
(20%) Display challenge instructions (this document) for the viewer to understand the challenge.
(40%) Images and GIFs of modeling/design methods (showing yellow preview) of the link and assembled chain (SW and 3D printing)
(20%) ePort Posts - Images of the notebook designs, GIFs of modeling designs (in SolidWorks), slicer images and additional information
(20%) Final Design - a full print moving the links in your hands (as a GIF)
