2/8/2017 Blog #15

Hi,
over the winter break, our team ran into a problem when 3D printing the U-brackets because the hot end of the 3D printer broke. And since Jez (the owner of the printer) was not in town, we delayed fixing it until he returned. Other than that, we also obtained a quote from CoastAluminum for some pieces of aluminum. We then obtained approval from Eric to make the purchase.

When we returned from winter break, we followed up on the quote and the parts we ordered - the shipment will be arriving today the 8th of February. We have also set up a tentative Gantt Chart on the white board in the design center to follow for the next month and a half (since we need to be done by the 22nd of March). Jez and Andrew will also be signing up for a Tig Welding class, February 18 for future production. We also coordinated with the other teams to align dates and necessities.

In the coming weeks, we will be manufacturing the new parts for the 12th scale track and solidifying the dates whilst coordinating with the other sub-teams.
