These following weeks will be focused on figuring bugs regarding 3D printer usage. The prints came out messed up, as some planar features that weren't existent were suddenly inserted and hollowed out parts were not hollowed out.
Our group learned that we would no longer be able to use Prof Viswanathan's printer due to the required print time. However we will still have 3 ready models in addition to however many more we would be able to spend using our leftover funds on 3D hubs.
This week is our final meeting for the project term, and I have successfully completed my tasks as part of the Cabin Design team. We will now spend the next week preparing for Maker Faire.
After not getting conclusive answers from Professors Youssefi and Bowley regarding the issues about our CAD model, I decided to outsource some assistance from 3D hubs. 3D Hubs was able to print out the cabin and resolve the SolidWorks file for less than half the projected cost of other companies and services.
