(9/13/2024) This week, I will be collaborating with my team to identify the necessary components for a dryer unit designed for the filament flip-flop system. This unit must function even when the printer is off to maintain the filament’s quality and prevent any printing issues. Additionally, I will be researching the best methods to protect the filament from environmental factors to ensure optimal performance.
Goal: Design and plan the general dryer unit for the filament flip-flop system.
- Research: Investigate dryer units, environmental factors, and best practices for filament storage.
- Component Selection: List necessary components, research suppliers, and compare options.
- Design: Create a detailed design that works even when the printer is off and plan integration.
- Team Collaboration: Meet with the team, assign tasks, and set deadlines.
- Documentation: Document findings, prepare a report, and update the project timeline.
Concerns for the Next Week:
- Component Availability: Ensuring components are available and can be soured in time.
- Design Challenges: Designing a unit that operates independently off the printer.
- Team Coordination: Effective communication with the team with updates and jobs.
- Time Management: Balancing this project with other assignments and meeting with the team when we don’t have much time to do so already.
