Design Project Parts Fabrication Update

Getting your parts

Jackie Paradise will be out tomorrow (Monday 12/09/13). The parts that have been fabricated will be available in Perry 311 from 10AM - 4PM tomorrow.

Laser Cut Parts

All parts that were submitted to be laser cut (as of 12/04/13) have been processed.

3D Printed Parts

The images below show the parts that have been printed. Some of these were printed over the weekend and will need to be placed in the cleaning tank to remove the support material and will not be available until sometime on Tuesday.

The 3D printer in Plastics is going to be unavailable for the next couple of days, because it needs to be used to generate parts for a final course project for one of the Plastics Engineering design courses. If you have parts that you need, I will try my best to get them printed, but I can make no promises at this point...





Part Rework

It is inevitable that some of the parts that you have requested will not fit quite right. Your first course of action is to see if you can rework any of the parts by hand - for instance, filing a part down if the fit is too tight, or wrapping tape around a part if the fit is too loose.

If there is a critical part that you need to fabricated please submit it too me and I will see if it is possible. It is very likely that I will be able to get some more parts laser cut, but the same cannot be said for 3D printed parts.
