Gadget Reflections:
Nick's Gadget
My gadget came out way better than I had anticipated. The measurements for the most part are correct and the phone charger fits snugly inside. The printing quality came out very good for a smaller sized part, even though there are still some minor flaws. If I were to go back and redesign the part I would create smaller dimensions for the charger plug section and would decrease the gap used to get the cord in the gadget itself.
Marlon's Gadget:
My gadget didn't come out as I wanted it to be. Although it looked accurate to my original design, it was too big to place on my phone charger, and it was very easy for it to fall off.
Charlie's Gadget
My gadget still has problems relating to size and brittleness. This print was probably the right size concerning the circular clip side, but it was too thin in the lengthwise parts and the length itself could have been shortened. A redesign would probably include thicker parts in all areas, plus maybe shorter length.

Overall, we think that team Kangas and team International had the best designs with the 3D printed models. Their designs were actually functional compared to the other groups and had enough durability to properly function without breaking. The other groups either had designs that were too small and/or not properly functional.

What do you think the hardest part of these past 4 weeks (besides class time!)?
ReplyDeletePersonally I found that efficient communication between teammates and making sure everything is on the blog were difficult.
DeleteWhat was your approach going from design to manufacturing phases in trying to produce the best result? Like what steps did you have to make in order to yield what you desired? What difficulties did you face?
ReplyDeleteWhy did you all decide to do different designs for your device?
ReplyDeletewhich one you think is the best design? and why?
ReplyDeleteNick's gadget is the best out of the 3 gadget designs because the phone charger fits well with the gadget and the measurements are very accurate. -Marlon
DeleteIn Nick's design, what "minor flaws" did the design have?
ReplyDeleteDo you think there be a charger that would not fit inside your design? due to being too big?
ReplyDeleteWould this be a portable device that can stay attached to the charger cable even when it is not plugged into the wall?
ReplyDeleteHow long did your designs take to print?
