Hello everyone,<\/p>\n

As we gear-up for printing model rocket designs for the engineering classes next week, the 3D printers have been busy.\u00a0 Dusty is in the process of designing a \u201cparts rinser\u201d based on the Pythagorean Cup that we printed for Dr. Vierheller.\u00a0 There are instruments in the Chemistry Lab that are difficult to clean; they must be rinsed in a solution 30 times.\u00a0 To simply this procedure, this idea was created:<\/p>\n

Basically, as solution enters a container in the lower-left corner, the container slows fills.\u00a0 A vertical tube on the right side of the container also fills.\u00a0 When the solution reaches the top, then container will automatically drain all of its fluid through the vertical tubing.\u00a0 The container then fills again, etc.<\/p>\n

A device like this could cost $400, but Dusty is creating his own design from scratch.\u00a0 It will be a tall object (21\u201d), so we are printing it in 6\u201d sections:<\/p>\n

Stay tuned as we finish this project in the coming week!<\/p>\n

We also finished printing another adjustable wrench, a seven-piece design that requires fitting and gluing.\u00a0 We plan to print a different design that prints the entire wrench, self assembled, in one pass:<\/p>\n

In 3D printing news, a woman in the Netherlands had a condition where her skull is slowly thickening, causing blindness and eventually death.\u00a0 Instead of sculpting a crude replacement skull using medical cement on the operating table, a company called Anatomics made a perfect replacement skull using 3D printing.\u00a0 It\u2019s been three months since the replacement; now the woman can see and her condition is improving!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for further happenings at the Wayne College Makerspace!<\/p>\n
