Week of 9/22 - 9/26

This week, I was finally able to use the 3d printer, and so I could print my box again. This time, the holes lined up perfectly, so I had no trouble attaching the test PCB to the box. I also posted the attachments on the board to see how they aligned with the gaps I created.

When I tested them, I noticed that the holes were slightly misaligned with where the wires would go, because I had forgotten to account for the small gap between the PCB and the walls of the box. This won't really matter in the end, though, because wires can bend, and I don't feel like printing a whole other box just to move the gaps over by a tiny amount.

I also printed out this star-looking thing for my friend, and I had to work with meshes in Fusion so I could fix something with the file I downloaded. This gave me some experience in it since I hadn't had much before.

Later in the week, while I was still waiting for my PCB, I decided to be a good Samaritan and help Jaspreet hang up the signs. Some of the places where they had to go were pretty high up, and she is too short, so I helped.

While I was waiting, I also worked on the CAD certification because I was just waiting, and I needed something to do. I finished the first module and did the challenge and the quiz.

I also fixed Mr. L's trash can. The gears were misaligned, so the lid wouldn't go down no matter what, so I had to take out the gear system that connected the two flaps and manually realigned the gears, but now it works.
