10.Mechanical design & machine design

This week we were asked to design and build an automated machine as a team. Teamwork was complicated at the beginning, because knowing that everyone was good, none of them trusted to delegate responsibilities to the others, so the first days were a little tense and difficult to work because there was not much communication, but with time and the need to solve the work, we began to fit in and finally a positive and functional result was achieved. Teamwork can be seen (ponerboton para link)

For my part, I helped in the elaboration of the correct consistency of the ceramic, many tests were carried out until we obtained a material that could pass through the extructor, then through the nozzle and finally that when it came to falling on the bed and piling one layer on top of another this material would not break, dry or drip. This leaves a clean and firm piece for future firing.

I also supported with the cleaning of the parts since when doing tests it was obvious that we would have to clean before trying again, this activity was very tedious since, although the material is noble and could be removed relatively easily we had to wait for the material to dry or leave it to soak and time was the least we had, Therefore, it was necessary to speed up the cleaning process without affecting the parts and recycle most of the material.
