3D Printing

 I wanted to let you know that the lab's 3D printers, the Prusas and the Flashforge are now available for printing.

Please keep in mind the following specs when running the Prusa printers:

The total print area of the Prusa Mk3 in the Stamford lab:
x-axis (width): 250mm

y-axis (depth): 210mm

z-axis (height): 210mm

Students need to keep the print well-within that range; the print is more likely to fail if they are close to the border. This also means any brim/support material that will be added to the print also needs to be within that 250x210x210 range.

We should discuss the amount of filament that will be used and the cost associated with it.

If you need further information, please let me or Astik Mehta, the new lab manager know.

New Teams

 I'm consolidating into 5 teams instead of 6.

Assignment #4 due 10/23/26

Build a Python Invoicer program that lists 4 items that you want to sell and produce a total.

Do not use the items on the blog. New items must be used.

https://uconnstamfordengr.blogspot.com/p/python-invoicer.html

Also, add a line for sales tax when you total the bill from CT (note sales tax is 6.35%)

Output to a text file using your name e.g. Iacovacci.txt

Send me the code in the body of the email and the text file as attachment  via email john.iacovacci@uconn.edu

Assignment #3 due Friday October 16th

 Create a drawing of a bridge brackets with all measurement.

Use link as framework

Draw on paper and take a picture and send picture via email

https://uconnstamfordengr.blogspot.com/p/brideg-drawing.html

Sketch the Orthogonal Multi-Views (First or Third Angle)

Front View (Elevation): Draw the primary front-facing shape of the component, showing its overall width and height.

Top View (Plan): Position this directly above or below the front view, aligning the edges using light projection lines to show length and width.

Side Views: Place the right or left side view adjacent to the front view to capture thickness, depths, and vertical profiles.

Assignment #2 due Friday October 9th

Using Solidworks build a 3D stl file for a bottom bridge road which the rover will travel over.

Attach the file in an email to me at john.iacovacci@uconn.edu

Use Gemini.google.com to help with any issues.
