Project Planning Sheet
Title of Project:
Example: Captain Octopi!
Description of project:
Example:
- I want to build my own lego character that has articulating octopus arms
- I brought in a lego character that i will use as a reference
Outline steps needed to accomplish the above description:
Example:
- I will use the caliper to take outside measurements of the key dimensions:
- Diameter of head : 8mm
- Height of head:
- Diameter of arm joint connection:
- Length of arm joint connection:
- Height of body:
- Width of body:
- Depth of body:
- Recesses depth of arm joint:
- Recess diameter of arm joiunt:
- Recesses depth of feet to connect to lego blocks:
- Recess diameter of feet to connect to lego blocks:
- Arms will be modelled with a 45 degree bend
- Body will be modelled as multiple joined primary shapes : cylinder and rectangles
- I will CAD 2 seperate parts: 1 arm and the body. I want to print 8 identicle arms that will connect to the cylinder of the body
What skills do I have to complete the project and what skills don't I know how to do?
Example:
| What I know | What I dont know | possible actions |
|---|---|---|
| I know how to take all the measurements | I am unsure how to make the arms | learn to make cones. do some research before next session |
| I can make a sketch of my project | How detailed can I make the arms | review fabrication guidlines. ask for guidance |
| I can model the body and all the connections | Not sure how big the arms should be | review design guidlines |
Timeline to accomplish steps outlined above
Example:
- Taking all measurements and produce drawing (ie. rough sketch) do a design review : 2hr (Week 4)
- Create body of Captain octopi and do a CAD review: 2 Hr (Week 5)
- Create the CAD for the arms and do a cad review: 2 Hrs (Week 6)
- Check CAD in slicer software : Check print time meets fabrication requirements finalize submission and submit for fabrication 2 Hrs( Week 7)
- Post process the parts, save any files, group check in review and future thoughts ( Week 8)
