Applications and Implications
This week we will explain the final project, work plan and tools that we will be using in the coming weeks
What will it do?
I thought carefully about what can be done to be a final project, and I came up with a business idea that merges between the plant and the modern living that we live in, which has reduced the green area in our lives, and it is a hanging plant masterpiece that does not need to be taken care of, as it cares for itself as it gives an aesthetic appearance and psychological comfort to the person who Look up to her.
Who's done what beforehand?
I love plants so I wanted my final project to be related to plants and how they have a positive impact on our lives so I did a lot of research work to see if someone implemented something similar to the idea of my final project and I found a set of the following images as they are similar to my project in terms of comment only
What will you design?
I will design many things(2d)(3d), the wooden frame to the water tank and the vase and The PCB board that will work the brain
What materials and components will be used?
- My Electronic board
- LED Strip
- Acquarium Water Pump
- Acrylic
- Plywood for wooden structure
- 3D Printing Filament (PLA)
- Soil Moisture Detector Sensor
Where will come from?
The material is in the laboratory. And things that are not there I will buy it from the market
How mach will they cost?
| Name | Cost |
|---|---|
| Atmega328P | 2$ |
| LED Strip | $4.99 |
| Acquarium Water Pump | $21.99 |
| Acrylic 3mm | 25$ |
| Plywood for wooden structure | 10$ |
| 3D Printing Filament (PLA) | 15$ |
| Soil Moisture Detector Sensor | 12$ |
| total (PLA) | 90.98$ |
What parts and systems will be made?
I will build the structure and the casing, the lighting system and the PCB board,If I have time, I will build the water tank with the 3D printer
What processes will be used?
- 3D printing
- 2D and 3D design
- CNC Machining
- Input and Output Devices
- Laser cutting and 3D printing
- Electronics Design & Production
- embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming
I will apply what I learned from this course of manufacturing skills
What questions need to be answered?
Will I be able to finish the work on the final project as planned before the deadline? Also, the fablab is closed for a long time because of the quarantine.so I will do all my best to finish it on time and with the best quality.
How will it be evaluated?
- Beautiful appearance
- His ability to self-irrigate
- Give a signal when the tank is close to running out of water
The criteria that define the evaluation of my project are
Project plan
- The idea.
- Developing 2D & 3D designs, specifying materials and manufacturing mechanism.
- Preparing and cutting the wood design on CNC, then painting with the appropriate color.
- Prepare the vase design and print it on the printer.
- Preparing and cutting the laser design for the project cover and water tank industry.
- Project board design, manufacture and welding process.
- Writing the code to control the project.
