Fabrication
For the last assignment you will be mounting a motor/servo/stepper (one or more) to something as well as mounting something to that motor/servo/stepper. It can be completely DIY, or off-the-shelf components, or a combination of the two.
Everyone will present their project in class.
Fabricate something using primarily two different materials. Let’s say the project is roughly 40% one material, 40% the other. The materials cannot be acrylic or plywood (unless you are gluing up your own plywood). The work should be held together using fasteners of your choosing.
Build an enclosure for an electronics project using any tool(s) or technique(s) you like. Make sure that you can get back inside to make repairs, change batteries, modify, etc. The enclosure should have multiple components: buttons, switches, sliders, connectors, display lights, dials, etc.
Create something using the laser cutter. I’m looking for something more than just a simple 2D cutout or etching.
Make multiples of something, 5 or more. The objects must be a multi-process piece, ie. I don’t want to see 5 things made solely on the laser cutter or 3D printers.
Take note of your order of operations, tools, and techniques used. If you used any type of jig or unique setup, please document (if you built your own DIY jig, absolutely bring it in). Determine whether it is better to build one piece all the way through before starting the next, or perform step one to all pieces, then step 2, then…
