Assistive Technology Project

 The first 3D model had been printed, and major design changes are coming.  Over the next month, I will choose switches and tailor the case to the switch.  Top Cover (TC) and Base Plate (BP) TC in ABS and BP in PLA (T1 for Test 1) Note: The compliant mechanism has been removed from this model as the tolerances were too tight. Major redesign to come.  Both ABS and PLA are relatively brittle; redesigns will work around this. 

 Big news: The 3D printer has gone through thorough troubleshooting and has started to print. [base-plate printing (approx. 37 mins total)] After the first model is fully printed, it will be measured for possible microswitch installation.  After re-designing and research are done, microswitches will be ordered, and quality and tolerance testing will begin.
