Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-design Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom

Abstract

  1. Paragraph description of the OSAT - why is it Appropriate? What need does it fulfil? Are there case studies you have found of a technology being used successfully?
  2. Picture of completed print using
    File:Name-of-your-image.png

Bill of Materials

  1. PLC Plastic 32 grams
  2. Screws
  3. File:DoorFastener.stl
  4. File:DoorHinge.stl

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
  2. PLC Plastic
  3. Mounting Screws

Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT

  • If you used special skill – link to relevant wikipedia or wikiversity articles/courses

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

  1. Load the files in Openscad
    • Will have to edit these one at a time
  2. Change the parameters to what will suit your needs
    hinge_scale: changes the size of your door hinge
    (minimum accepted value is 1, creating a door hinge with dimensions 0.236" x 0.4409" or 6mm x 11.2mm)
    screw_radius: radius for the screws for your door
    ensure that the screw sizes are smaller than your hinge dimensions
    door_pin: the pin radius for your connector (needs to be same for both files!)
    door_width: the hinge width (recommended to be same for both files for efficient operations)
  1. Include assembly time estimate
  2. Including drawings or pictures of the device at stage of assembly at minimum.

  1. Consider video if appropriate
Example video summary of textbook
Error in widget YouTube: Unable to load template 'wiki:YouTube'

Common Problems and Solutions

  • Include common mistakes/problems to avoid in building your OSAT and how to overcome them

Cost savings

  • If your solution is not a low cost one then it is not really appropriate.
  1. Estimate your costs
  2. Find a commercial equivalent
  3. Calculate $ savings and % savings

References

  • The sources of information (e.g. engineering handbooks, journal articles, government documents, webpages, books, magazine articles etc.). References should use the <ref> </ref> and <references/> tags and can be in any format but should include all the information necessary for someone else to find the same information you did. For example: [1]
  1. web page: Department of Energy (DOE) Landscaping and Energy Efficiency, DOE/GO-10095 (1995) Available: http://www.eren.doe.gov/erec/factsheets/landscape.html

Based on the developmental needs addressed (e.g. food, heat, electricity, clean water, health care, etc.) be sure to label your device in the proper categories e.g. use [[Category:Water]]. Be sure to categorize your device so that it will be easy to find – for example “Low voltage connection basics” is categorized in [[Category:How tos]] [[Category:Electricity]] [[Category:Electric lighting]].
