Week 9 Pre-Lab

The plan of attack for lab this week is to completely mount the dynamo to the bicycle. This will involve finishing the dynamo and using metal plate for mounting.

Week 9 Pre-lecture

There is not much to update on as we get down into our final weeks of the term. We are struggling to get everything assembled as we are waiting on key deliverables from different group members. As soon as these deliverables are made, everything can fall into place.

Nearly Done

We are nearly done with the full assembly of our project. We are ordering some metal bars to attach or dynamo to our bike and we have only one part left to 3D print. After that, we will be completely focused on assembly so we can begin testing.

Ribs

All of the ribs have been printed and reamed. The gear shafts all spin smoothly in their slots. We are finishing up the mounting components and then we will be able to test the entire project.

Pre Week 8 Lecture

We are starting to get down to our final remaining weeks in this course and in this term. Everything is finally falling into place now. We are very excited to begin testing our product.

Pickup of phone mount

We picked up the phone mount that we will be using in our project, yesterday. It fits well on our bike and can hold an array of different cell phones.

3D Printed Parts

The 3D printed parts are slowly being printed. They are now the correct size and match our design.

Week 7 Lab

After week 7 lab, we have all designs completed. We are now completely focused on manufacturing and assembly.

Pre Lab Week 7

We were able to submit our rough draft of our final report before lab this week. We feel that our report was fairly well put together so we hope to see a good grade coming back for that.

The 2nd round of 3D printing was started today. I will be checking in on that throughout the week, hopefully we can get those parts turned around rather quickly, without flaws.

Rough Draft of Design Proposal

We are starting our rough draft of the design proposal today.
