This is a 3D Printable Solar Powered Flashlight designed for low-income communities that have access to 3D Printers, Solar Panels and batteries. The main idea is to provide them with an easy to print design big enough to hold a circuit board, on/off button, led and input inside. The flashlight will be powered by a battery that was previously powered with solar energy, therefore it wouldn't be as expensive as buying batteries once they run out or as unsustainable as using the power grid to recharge them. This designed was a result of the OSAT project for the 3D printing class in the engineering department of Principia College directed by Dr. Marie Farson. The design includes a flashlight body and a lid, which have been carefully designed taking into account filament shrinking, so they can fit together. | |||

OSAT Project - Solar Powered Flashlight
This is a 3D Printable Solar Powered Flashlight designed for low-income communities that have access to 3D Printers, Solar Panels and batteries. The main idea is to provide them with an easy to print design big enough to hold a circuit board, on/off button, led and input inside. The flashlight will be powered by a battery that was previously powered with solar energy, therefore it wouldn't be as expensive as buying batteries once they run out or as unsustainable as using the power grid to recharge them. This designed was a result of the OSAT project for the 3D printing class in the engineering department of Principia College directed by Dr. Marie Farson. The design includes a flashlight body and a lid, which have been carefully designed taking into account filament shrinking, so they can fit together.
This product was designed in FreeCAD, and there are two components: The flashlight and the lid. Both have independent STL, FreeCAD and GCODE files that are provided below.

OSH Science Project
This is a Waterproof Raspberry Pi 2B + Raspberry Pi Noir camera v2 Case designed for Dr. Scott Eckert in the biology department of Principia College during the 3D printing Lab class directed by Dr. Marie Farson. The purpose of this Waterproof case is to take pictures of Rattle Snakes allocated on campus for research purposes. This case has a waterproof entrance for cables, specifically for an external battery so the Raspberry Pi 2B and camera can be powered. The idea is to upload software to the Raspberry Pi that will take a picture every 5-10 minutes and capture the behaviors inside the Rattle Snake's dens providing data for Dr. Eckert's research.
This product was designed in FreeCAD, and there are two components: The box and the lid. Both have independent STL, FreeCAD and GCODE files that are provided below.

Design#1: Duo-Whistle
This duo ring whistle is specifically made for Umpires and Referees! It was designed by jipvanleeuwenstein in Oct 12, 2014 and the G-Code was pulled out from Thingiverse.com and sliced with Ultimaker Cura V.4.1. It works pretty well and it is very loud!
Layer Height: 0.3mm| Infill: 60%| Orientation: Horizontal| Travel speed: 120mm/s| Extrusion speed: 44mm/s| Print temp: 210 Celcius| Skirt/Brim/Raft: Skirt| Number of shells: 6| Fan speed: 100%|

Design#2: Superman Logo
This duo Superman logo was designed by ErgoProxy on Jul 4, 2013 and taken from the movie "Man of Steel" (2013). The G-Code was pulled out from Thingiverse.com and sliced with Ultimaker Cura V.4.1. It looks pretty solid! and it is very cool!

Design#3: 3D Wallet
This 3D printed wallet is a great design by Amplivibe posted Jul 26, 2013 and the G-Code was pulled out from Thingiverse.com and sliced with Ultimaker Cura V.4.1. I still haven't figure out how to fold it, I am afraid to break it! But if it did, I would love to use it as my personal wallet!

Design#4: NASA LOGO
This NASA logo was designed by f16v1per May 25, 2014 and the G-Code was pulled out from Thingiverse.com and sliced with Ultimaker Cura V.4.1. I always loved the idea of exploring space and why not start with a great NASA LOGO to decorate my room?!
