2. Computer Aided design

This week I have also been a bit behind schedule because of a family emergency but trying hard to catch up. Do to circumstances I have been away from home and therefore not been in the FabLab in Akureyri this week. But I have managed to make changes to my website without Árni looking over my sholder so that is something. I have been looking at some 2D and 3D programs. Inkscape, SketchUp, Freecad and Fusion 360.

Model a possible final Project, compress your images and videos, and post a description with your design files on your class page.

This is the first part of the enclosure, front, back and bottom.

This is the back where the power connects. There will be a switch and a fuse built into that unit also.

This is the front. There will be a display showing volts and amps. A potentiometer for adjusting voltage, couple of 4mm bananaplugs for + and -. And there will be a USB connection for charging. I´m looking at 1xUSB-A and 2xUSB-C.
