<\/a><\/p>\nEven though it\u2019s summer and not many students are frequenting the MakerSpace, we are certainly busy.\u00a0 Josh (one of our students) designed a yo-yo from scratch.\u00a0 We have yet to attach string to see how well it works:<\/p>\n
Chris recently designed a 3D printed engine mount for an RC airplane that he is building (from scratch).\u00a0 Dusty is building his own RC controlled model car, so he designed this strut system with Creo and printed it using our newest 3D printer:<\/p>\n Our latest challenge will be designing and printing a replacement coffee mug cap for our Dean!\u00a0 This will be a difficult project that involves a sliding\/locking opening for dispensing the liquid.\u00a0 We will also research the possibility of printing with food-grade plastics, as ABS is not rated for this use.\u00a0 Here is the part that we will reproduce:<\/p>\n Another exciting announcement is that we are on Service Request (the yellow smiley face icon on your desktop)!\u00a0 You can now request objects to be 3D printed by submitting them on the \u201c3D printer\u201d tab.\u00a0 We can print objects from www.thingiverse.com<\/a>, objects that you bring in that need reproduced, or via photos.\u00a0 Just fill-out the form and submit your request.<\/p>\n There is the possibility of offering basic CAD design and 3D printing lessons over the summer.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more information!<\/p>\n http:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2014\/05\/gallery-pouring-soda-with-your-brain-and-more-maker-faire-2014-wonders\/<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stay tuned for exciting happenings at the Wayne College Makerspace!<\/p>\n Tom<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello everyone, Things are slowing down at the Wayne College MakerSpace, being the start of summer.\u00a0 Engineering students enjoyed their second model rocket launch day during Finals Week.\u00a0 Although I wasn\u2019t present to witness the event, Jonny\u2019s unique design (the \u201copening flower pedal\u201d technique) allowed the rocket to descend gently without a parachute.\u00a0 Congratulations for such an inventive solution! The new MakerBot has been repaired thanks to Dusty who installed a replacement extruder.\u00a0 We now have a printer that handles PLA plastic allowing for larger, more reliable, and more complicated prints.
