On Wednesday, November 17th, in class, we decided that we need more aluminum in order to continue our machining. We figured out the exact dimension that we need so that we could purchase at Alro's.
On Thursday, November 18th, we went to the Alro's and bought two 6160 Aluminum parts that we will use to make our machine. During our regular lecture time, we were able to use the shop and we cut out small parts from the aluminum parts that we have bought to make several needed chunks.
On Friday, November 19th, we were able to use the shop from 4 ~ 6 and we managed to get our rack screwed into our solid metal piece. There were some risks in chance of drilling through the rack with the mill but with the maximum precision, we were able to be successful.
On Monday, November 22nd, it was the due date for our three completed parts of our machine and we showed it to Mark. We received 17/20 on our drawings. We decided to meet back at the shop from 6:30 ~ 8:30 in order to keep working on our machine. During our shop time, we used milling to drill all the holes into our motor mounts and the rotating mounts and we were able to screw in our parts together.
On Tuesday, November 23rd, we decided to meet from 4 to 6 in order for the due date the next day to show Mark our final MCM (MS8). We checked back on our parts and looked carefully at the things that we have might have missed in our final MCM and polished our work so that we felt comfortable to show Mark the next day.
On Wednesday, November 24th, it was the due date for our final MCM as an MS8 with all of our rest of the engineering parts completed. During class time, Mark met with us and we recieved 58/60 on our MS8.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!
