Ben

ASAP



Chenlong

ASAP


Near term


* new glass etch - print Dr. Frost - verify - make sure it works on our own for PLA on normal glass

- The best recipe we have is:
- 1. clean slide with ethanol (200 proof is what we used)
- 2. soak in neat  [3-92-aminoethylamino)propyl]trimethoxysilane for 15 min.
- 3. rinse with toluene
- 4. let dry under ambient conditions over night

Emily

ASAP


Near term

  • start background on Automated microscope stage literature review - fill in spec sheet comparison chart with costs and do a lit. search on the instrumentation -- look for things like applications, etc.
  • Create Spec sheet for the line of MOST OS automated microscope stage
  • meet with Dr. Heiden's group, C404 noon

Jason

  • Build the commercial recyclebot and test with packet of pellets -write a short protocol on how to use it with links to its website -- example: [1]
  • Then test 100% PLA from the open bag
  • Look up properties of the PLA for all bags and post here with references PLA for 3-D printing:MOST
  • Mass a collection of 10 mech test strips let me know the value
  • Make 10 samples of filament of ~0.5kg each from 1 to 100% c-PLA
  • Learn 3D printing from Ben
  • Make 10 samples for each filament fraction mech test strips
  • Learn mech testing from Bas
  • Pull the 100 samples
  • Make one pretty graph - submit for prize

Jerry

Fast little stuff

  • after getting Ti from Pat lay Ti metal by hand during a silicone print
  • talk to silabond see if they have anything useful



MAIN RepRap paper topic target

  • help Chenlong get stage printer going - for platform --then start clicking off sub projects with the stage

  • MOST 3D platform - write up BOM, instructions
    • low cost metal printing-2 papers - rapid prototyping (democratization of 3d metal) and the reprap journal (how to copied from appropedia - non wood bot)
    • All materials printer - 3 part turret PLOS One

    • Methods paper on evaluating 3D printer materials - Nature/ Nature Materials
    • antigravity printing - space fabrication - top space journal?
    • zero waste laser/LED curing - Journal of cleaner production - can also take LCA route with David S.
    • surface finish printing - need killer app for this - then target the app
    • orthotics - with scanner - medical journal w. Mark
    • Nature -- as a OS 3-D scientific platform: shaker, orbital shaker, mini shake table, particle size sorter, chem reactions, auto pippetter
    • Effect of environment on print quality with exotic media
    • Silabond experiments
  • linear actuator stage w/game control - microscope -Science
  • Printing for Paul

  • pushme pullyou servo
  • glass fiber, sugar
  • WQI
  • work with portage
  • metal welder printer
  • possible PV characterization with Barbara
