To Do :
Discuss with BREAD the type of board we’ll be using for the project.
Determine the type of guide we should use for the filament in the rewind unit.
Explore options for holding the roll while the filament is being coiled.
Decide on the motors we’ll need for the filament rewind process.
Figure out how we can ensure that the filament well go into the filament guide.
Concerns :
n/a
Log 2 :
I was able to discuss with Bread about the board we would be using for the rewind unit. We also explored options to hold the filament in place. I also added some research into this for the filament measurement portion.
We did some collaboration on the motors to prototype with. I didn’t finish finding a guide.
To Do :
Determine the type of guide we should use for the filament in the rewind unit.
Determine a camera and mirrors used for measuring filament
Determine a better option for a spool holder
Make a shell around the camera to hold it in place for measuring the filament diameter.
Log 3 :
States :
Off : completely no motion in the machine, normally no filament in also.
Start : Status where filament is just loading into the rewind unit
Load : constant movement based off desired speed, length, etc.
Last week acomplished :
Found a camera and mirrors
Did some research on spool holder
Found a shell for a camera that we could
Did research on a guide idea
Next week to Acomplish :
Talk with team about the camera and mirror
Talk with team about the spool holder
Talk with team about the spool holder
Prepare for CDR and Enterprise Day
Concerns :
Finding time between 4 exams, CDR, and Enterprise day
