Document your completed soldering work by uploading clear, well-lit photographs of all internal components to your Useless Box ePort page. Ensure each image accurately displays the quality and completeness of your solder joints, and that all connections are visible for review.

Upload clear images from the slicer and from the printer of your completed test print to your Useless Box ePort page. Make sure each image is properly labeled to indicate its purpose, such as showing print quality, assembly fit, or any issues encountered. This documentation will help demonstrate your progress and support your final project evaluation.

1. Upload SolidWorks renderings of your Useless Box’s outer enclosure to your ePort page. These images should clearly show the overall design and dimensions of the box.
2.Include a sequence of images or an animation demonstrating the movement of the outer box, specifically how the lid opens to access and deactivate the switch. This visual evidence should make it clear how the mechanical action is achieved.
Component Panel
Includes holes for heat set inserts to go in allowing for the components to be screwed into place.
Box Cover
Holes to line up with component panel, and an opening on the rear for access to the batteries. Hinged door ontop for arm to extend out from.
Swinging Arm
Assembly of right and left sides, Originally designed with a pin connecting the two sides once on the motor. Designed to rotate out of the box to turn the switch off.
Boat Pendant
Hand designed mini sailboat fitted ontop of the toggle switch to add a little flavor to the box.
Working with a partner, use SolidWorks to design the 4 internal components of the useless box. Your designs should clearly illustrate how each part moves or interacts with other parts, especially those that require mechanical motion. Once your models are complete, upload images of your parts to your ePortfolio under the section labeled "Class Projects > Useless Box." Be sure to highlight and explain the movement mechanisms in your documentation as well as who designed the part.
Motor Model
Modeled off of the physical motor that was measured with a caliper to be used in the 3D model.
Limit Switch
Modeled off of the physical limit switch measured with a caliper to be used in the 3D model.
Battery Housing
Modeled off of the physical battery housing, measuered with a caliper to be used in the 3D model.
Toggle Switch
Modeled off of the physical toggle switch, measuered with a claiper too be used in the 3D model.
(100 pts) Once you have completed building and printing your Useless Box, present its functionality to the class by demonstrating how it operates. Record a video showcasing the box in action, highlighting its mechanical and electrical features. Upload this video to your ePort for review. Be sure to clearly explain the process, including any challenges you encountered and how you resolved them. Your submission should reflect both your technical skills and your ability to communicate your project’s results effectively.
(100 pts) During your demonstration, present the drawing package you created for your Useless Box project, as displayed on your ePortfolio. Ensure that your drawing package includes all required components as outlined in the assignment instructions.
Using information learned fromt the Advance Drawings tutorial, create a drawing package
