Solid modelling computer aided design: played an essential role in giving us the tool and space to create 3D models of the parts to be printed and used in our prototype.
Different functions of the application were utilised to effectively and efficiently design our parts while determining the possible flaws along the way.
2) Working Of 3D Printer
Allows us to bring our designs into life!
Consideration for the model’s size, support for hanging bits and amount of filling it requires was taken to prepare it for printing.
Learned to operate and navigate the interface of the 3D printer
Some of us learned how to change the filament B)
3) Coding With Arduino
4) EasyEDA – Designing of PCB
Others
1) Operation Of Aluminum Cutter
Use the stopper to keep aluminum rod in place.
Grip the handle and bring down the blade at a constant speed until it cuts through.
Safety: Remove power source before removing the aluminum rod & wear goggles!
2) Soldering
Clean soldering iron by melting a little solder and wiping it on copper sponge
Arrange and secure male pins onto PCB board
Use solder iron to slightly melt the male pins before melting the solder on it to form a small dome shape
Repeat!
Safety: Turn on ventilation hood & make sure not to touch hot part of solder iron
3) Troubleshooting Circuits
Test and secure components before usage to avoid shorting of circuits!
Draw circuit diagrams and take note of each step for future reference
Use proper connectors to avoid wrong connection and destruction of components!
4) Risk Assessment
Includes:
Hazard identification: What are hazards to the work activity? Burn, cut etc
Risk Evaluation: Use 5×5 risk matrix table to evaluate with severity x likelihood
Risk Control: Includes PPT, checking on equipment, or removing powersource
