The past week or so has been a great breakthrough for my project. I have found and ordered most of my parts, completed the necessary drawings to manufacture any necessary parts, and started to cut glass. Knowing that creating the glass encasing is going to be the most tedious aspect of this project, it became…

an update on the progress for the coffee brewer: Have finished discussing what my friend wants from the design cleanable second path for individual cup also (if time) easy to use valves for easier/cleaner setup same or bigger size than his current setup I have started specing out parts and equipment needed wood – homedepot…

At this point I have all of my material purchased and sitting at my house. After taking a look at the amount of carbon fiber that I ordered, I realized I would need quite a lot more to create a decent carbon fiber coffee table. I personally wasn’t very invested in the coffee table idea…

I am still in the part acquisition phase and planning for manufacturing phase of my project. So far I have acquired the tubeset that I will use, and the fitting lugs, I still need drop-outs, braze paste, and paint but those should arrive soon. I plan to begin cutting the tubeset.

I have made some progress taking the pallets apart and laying out the wood slats in a pattern that I like. I have become a bit concerned that the big, solid wood door will make the already small space seem even more confining. My original idea had been to incorporate some stained glass or something…

Additionally, I added another element to the side, which will light up in orange LED. This was done after receiving feedback to include more features to the previously more simple design. I really like…

So far I have about 80% of the project done.  The mirrors work so well when they are turned on and definitely create the desired infinity effect!  The big things I need to figure out are how to 1, get the clock to be more apparent when the LEDs are off, 2, wire the LED…

I haven’t had much time in the past week to work on physically progressing my project much farther. I have put a decent amount of time into trying to source magnets from a cheap and reliable source. In sourcing the magnets, I believe that I can get all of my magnets for under $25 which…

“Ralphie I” was just a simple snap fit box. See: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1384028 “Ralphie II” is a snap fit box with four movable legs. “Ralphie III” will integrate the mechanism that moves the legs. The internal ends of each leg will be modified to incorporate this mechanism. *** Solidworks Ralphie II: Printed Ralphie II: Gold PLA print at…
