This week’s accomplishments
- Ordered parts for the project
- Attend and critiqued the capstone design presentations on 2/19 and 2/21
- Began writing portions of the technical paper for this project. Focused on how to smoothly integrate OctoPrint with the Ender-3 3D printer. Will need to decide if we should lock the z-axis movement of the printer since we will only need movement in the x/y planes to pour the water. However, it may prove to be more complicated to do so.
- Flashed my personal Rpi with OcotoPrint to begin experimenting with the gantry’s movement at home.
Next weeks plan
- Begin constructing and setting up the 3D printer
- Begin experimenting with Ocotprint
- Write the technical report
Status Report: On schedule
