Blog #13 11/30/2016

Hi,
This week we got our Bill of Materials approved by Eric and have ordered the PLA filament from Amazon for under $100. The filament should arrive today and be sufficient for 30 castings of our U-bracket which Jezreel has volunteered to 3D print for us with his printer throughout winter break. We will be printing them at 70% ink-fill (heeding Michael Kemp’s advice, who suggested 70% is approximately the same as 100% ink-fill). After we print the first one, we will be comparing it with the previously printed 100% ink-filled one to see differences. Since it was Thanksgiving weekend, we did not burden ourselves with too many tasks. However, we were working on presentation #3 and starting our final report. For the first draft of our final report that is due this Friday 12/2/2016, we will be working on it throughout this week so that we have less to do for the final draft of the final report. For the coming weeks, we will be working on the final report and planning for the beginning of next semester.
