Progress Report
07/07/11 : worked on organizing wiki information so that information doesn't get lost and is readily available. spindle designs are done for the most part, bearings should be adequate at P5 specification and will run 4000 rpm with grease lubricant or 6000 with oil
Unanswered Questions
- source for Resin Epoxy
current tasks
- CAD model machine frame
- test molding of Epoxy/Granite
Funding Situation
07/07/11 : Dunwoody College of Technology has expressed interest in funding a first prototype, they would pay for materials and costume tooling, but would own the first model when completed. I (Shonda) believe its a good idea if money, rather then time, is an issue because a lot of the kinks of the design can be worked out in the first prototype and the second machine will be that much faster and slightly cheaper to produce.
Timeline
- probably 2 weeks to a month of design time, if its only me, before I have a finished design to build.
