working on STL cog 13 for spooler. trying to get freecad to do the gear teeth for me...

Working through Part Library. There is still a lot to detail to finish and double check on Visuals in the working doc as well.

still trying to figure out ideal fan CAD.

meeting prep.

Working on Fan in FreeCAD and experimenting with primitive parts and different methods of building similar shapes on file size convinced me much of it was a waste of time. More advanced build methods require more experience and knowledge of the app, but are generally faster. As long as the number of pieces is similar in the end the file size will be about the same as well.

I ended up with a very crude representation of a fan compared to methods for making props I've seen on youtube I don't think build time or file size is worth it.

File:LFX Fan 12 or 24V simple.fcstd

I am also apparently still confused about levels of file simplification and will review the doc again.

A final push to finish the Filament Maker to a prototype state is needed so I plan to put in extra hours this week during the heat wave here. CAD, Indexes, and BOM's need to be synced and purchasing links verified throughout.

I think I'll start at the top of part library and work through any red links that matter. Some like the sheet of phenolic material don't, but the DIY washers from it do.

Experimenting with CAD files and primitives verse sketches and capabilities.

Continuing remaining small part CAD files for Electronics Module. I think I understand the file simplification enough now so I uploaded a simplified version of the wire connector in the part library.

File:LFX wire connectors simple.fcstd

Working on simple fan representation as well, it is proving difficult to do with only primitives. So I am exploring options in FreeCAD.

worked on wiring layout in working doc and considering how to minimally draw or identify wiring in assembly.

I also found some other confusion between extruder spooler parts. I noticed the VRM before, but there is also a 12V PSU different from the 24V in the extruder.

I'm thinking the best strategy is to work through and verify all individual parts before working on assemblies so that no errors are propagated further than necessary.

I think following July 11 Refined Process slide should be followed in order for all parts before we focus on assemblies.

Found more errors/missing data.

I looked over progress on several CAD files, the part library, and working doc. I found some interesting examples of work in the CAD files.

Read/Wrote some communications on network and email.

I reviewed the File Simplification process since I had not read all the way through the completed doc and I definitely needed to do so before attempting any assembly and wiring. It is somewhat like I thought. Primitive shapes are smaller. I am curious about any differences for methods of adding, subtracting, unions, boolean ops, versus sketch pads/pockets. The process for managing files and assemblies, positioned files etc. is more complex than I thought.

editing wiki parts library.

uploaded images of CAD files. I'm thinking since we are linking to the CAD files we should capture screen shots and use those not external photos.

Doing more CAD work on Switch.

Thinking about wiring paths, but that isn't easy to add until doing a module assembly.

meeting Prep

More CAD files. I see there was some confusion on the VRM for extruder vs. spooler so I think I'll pick up the other VRM for the spooler.

I created images for the parts from FreeCAD view because those are the parts we are linking to and so as not to use external copyrighted images.

I'm back from unexpected travels last week. I have a lot of catch-up to do & still have some files to submit from last weekend when the wiki was down...
