==Abstract==
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.

Practical business administration experience including financial analysis, accounting, business analytics, and marketing. Received problem-solving and innovation training by interning with multiple companies, fluent in reading, writing and speaking English and Spanish.

Reflective paragraph on your participation in the Open Source movement:

Open Source Movement: I believe the open source movement is a revolution of designers and entrepreneurs who have decided to make their designs available for the public. These designs may be modified, improved and even changed completely with the purpose of sharing knowledge, improving current practices and making the world a better place. The only condition is to give proper credit to the designer, follow the proper licencing procedures and you're good to go! I have participated in the Open Source Movement by printing other people's design in my Jelly Box 3D printer, which I got from publications made in Thingiverse.com. I am very excited to be a part of the Open Source Movement by uploading my designs with a licence that lets other people use them and hopefully improve them!

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#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!

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?!
