Mechanical Design

Goals

Prior Knowledge

I did not project a timeline, instead working at the pace of the group.

Timeline

• Wednesday-Sunday
  • Plan
  • 3D design holder
  • Design NEMA mount
  • Design clamp
• Monday
  • 3D print holder
• Tuesday
  • General work

Process

Plan

We convened and exchanged ideas for the project, eventually consulting Mr. Dubick and asking if the lab would benefit from anything specific. He suggested an automatic wire bender, which would be doable with a tutorial.

Reflection

I was fortunate that we divided the work well and were able to work on different aspects of the design. I created several CAD designs and preliminary 3D prints, although we all added and refined work. The coding and electrical work was evenly dispersed.
