Abstract

  1. This object was created using FreeCAD for the use of the Principia College Science Department. Its initial use is for their optics lab. One of their power strips is connected to various sensitive light equipment. If they are turned on while the lights are on
  2. Picture of completed print using

Source Files / Bill of Materials

  1. Fortunately, no bill of materials is required for this print. There is no additional hardware- the hinge is the only mechanical part and is printed as one piece.
  2. [STLs/Open Source Software Source Files can be found at this link]

Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT

  1. Jellybox or similar RepRap 3-D printer

Technical Specifications and Assembly Instructions

  1. Measure size of power strip switch. This should be done with high-accuracy calipers to ensure proper use.
  2. The size of the switch should match the inside perimeter of the FreeCAD file - adjust for use.
  3. Ensure height of cover will fit your switch (should be fairly universal)
  4. Print out at .1 or .2 mm layer height for best precision and hinge-usage.
  5. Place over switch, secure with epoxy or glue if necessary.
  6. ESTIMATED PRINT TIME: 5 minutes
  7. ASSEMBLY TIME: printed-as-one-piece, potential assembly if adhering with epoxy.

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]].
