Week #23 3/9 - 3/14

This week I started by cutting out the new fish feeder box out of acrylic. Once I cut the pieces out of card board I tried assembly them but it was not working. This lead me to think something was wrong but what it actually was was that the pre existing L brackets were not symmetrical which I didn't know since these already existed and I did not make them. Once I talked to a classmate who designed them I found this out and the model I made went together great.

After I assembled what I could with the existing brackets I needed to print some more of the old ones and I printed the new ones that attach the bottom. After printing the brackets I painted the back of some acrylic so that when I engraved the names of everyone who worked on the project it would have more contrast and look better. Now that I have cut out all the side pieces and print out the brackets all that I have left to do is 3D print the mount for the PVC delivery pipe.
