Week of 10-17-2018 to 10-24-2018
- Rapid Prototyping is completed at 1/3 scale.
- Main system in CAD is completed, but will need modification due to some issues
- Bracket for electromagnet needs to be made
- Issues: Need a way to compress spring after the system is deployed. After inspecting the prototype, I learned that the rod inside the slider assembly may rotate during brake deployment.
- FEA still needs to be worked on after a solid design is made. The updated model needs to fix the issues listed above.
- Need to decide which material to use. Aluminum will definitely work for Maker Fair, but not sure it will work for the actual design.
- Spring and electromagnet has been chosen, which can be seen in our last weeks posting.
