We were the second last group to present today. When we were presenting, the sun came out. We tried moving the projector to the left of the atrium but the sun was Too Strong. Empowered with Lina’s umbrella, we had to undertake some drastic slide shade protection measures so everyone can see the work of art, that is our slides. Presenting Teamwork 1 & 2:
I’ld like to think that our project was quite well-received! Hopefully, we are pretty on track and will be bumped up to a green-orange later HAHAHA.
After the progress meeting, we went back to the MnT lab, just like the lab rats we are and continued with our Making, Tinkering and Grinding.
We are proud to present some updates on our clamping system!
As discussed yesterday, we had designed a nice grip for the thick metal tubings. Today, we managed to refine and 3d-print a grip to fit really well, as seen below:
Furthermore, we flattened the base of our clamp system so it can be rested flush with the floor. We did this by widening a small hole in the aluminium profile so that the M5 screw can be flush with the surface of the aluminium profile, so that it no longer protrudes out of the surface of the aluminium profile like an awkward pimple on an awkward thirteen year old in the prime of puberty. Okay that was too specific a description. Anyways, modifications to the individual clamping points can be done more easily with this standardized height.
