This week we had a guest speaker from Indiana University MakerSpace to introduce us some of their current equipment and products they have made. The MakerSpace of Indiana University is of a more comprehensive setting compared to the 3D printing Lab we have in the business building. But by having 3D printing Lab and C-U FabLab separated, I guess U of I will be able to satisfy larger student demands. Anyway, I am very excited to see the technology I am so interested in gaining more and more attention. After skyping with the guest speaker, every group gave a brief presentation about their semester project. Our group project is to make a adjustable cup-holder, and after listening to my introduction, my classmates generously offered their knowledge and Vishal also suggested us to find something that would adds more value to the final product. I really appreciate everyone’s suggestion.

For our group project, we(Jiaqian Chen & Ran Jin) already ordered a temperature sensor from ebay and the basic/fundamental model is already made in Fusion360. The plan for next week is to change the middle part of the second photo to a adjustable structure, something like a 3D spiral. We are also going to figure out how to adhere the sensor to the entire structure.
