5.3.7 Martian Speedster Week 2

Now that you have finished building your Martian Speedster

Step 1) Decorate your speedster with crayons, colored pencils and pens.  Make sure that your name is still visible on the bottom.

Step 2) While waiting for others to finish up, you need to create a presentation of your speedster. Color your speedster in Inventor to match the way you colored it in real life.

Step 3) Download and open the files for the front wheel, rear wheel and axle and save them to your computer.
                   Front Wheel      Rear Wheel      Axle

If you used one of my designs - Speedster 1     Speedster 2     Speedster 3

Step 4) Watch the video below to see how to do the rest:

5.3.7 Martian Speedster

This is the start of a 3 week project - For Day 1 you need to:

Step 1) Make a copy of 5.3.7 MartianSpeedsterDesignFabrication into your GTT Turn in folder - using the Google Forms version messes up all of the tables and images for some reason, but you will still be able to fill it in and submit it for a grade. 

Step 2) Read the first 4 pages of instructions so you will have an overview of everything we are going to be doing over the next few weeks.

Step 3) Read the first 4 pages a second time, this time confirming the numbers in the Martian Speedster Specifications Sheet as you go. You are just looking at the "required" specifications as you will not know the actual measurements until you actually build it.

Step 4) Research and draw sketches on paper to get ready for the sketching software on your computer.

For Day 2, you need to have completed your 3 drawings:


For Day 3, this is how you put your speedster into Inventor:

This is how you add a printer:

For Day 4, this is how you print out your speedster:

For Day 5, this is how you put your printout onto your speedster:

Are you ready for the wood shop? 

DO NOT CUT within 1/4" of any part of your air hole or either of your axle holes.  This will leave you room to sand down to minimum specifications without as much risk of disabling your own speedster. 

PLEASE THINK THROUGH EACH CUT CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU CUT - YOU CANNOT UNCUT WOOD

                 This is how to use the drill press:

            This is how to use the Dremel Scroll Saw:

1.5.9 Habitat Project

Over the next few days, You will be using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2018 to create a 12 foot by 18 foot structure and will fill it with your furniture and those created by other students as an assembly to represent what your furnished habitat will look like on Mars. You will then create a paper drawing of the best two angles of your entire assembled habitat and the three students that design the best habitats by the start of class on Friday will be allowed to 3d print a scale model of their design.

If you created an .IAM file, please create a folder, put all of your parts into it and upload the folder with all of your parts and assembly to the correct period below. If you created an .IPT file please just upload it for others to use.

Period 1 Mars Furniture - Habitat Scoring

Period 2 Mars Furniture - Habitat Scoring

Period 3 Mars Furniture - Habitat Scoring

Period 7 Mars Furniture - Habitat Scoring

You will submit your .dwg file to Canvas before Friday for your paperwork grade for the week.

1.5.6 Furniture Design (Part 2)

Things that we should have already done in 1.2.3.P Furniture Design:

Each person researched and drew 3 sketches of ideas for chairs OR tables with storage

You evaluated all sketches using criteria listed on your paperwork.  (check the 1.2.3. paperwork that you already turned in) 

What you are going to do now - 

Step 1) Using Inventor, you are going to design the highest scoring idea as a life-size 3d model.  If you cannot decide upon a "best" idea you can either come up with a new idea or combine pieces from your previous ideas into a new creation.

Step 2) Create an Assembly of all of the parts for your furniture. At this point, you can go into "Tools" and adjust your materials and appearance to make it look as cool as possible.

Step 3) Export your finished Assembly as a CAD (.STL) file. Drag that from your documents to a flash drive and give it to your teacher to be converted into a Makerbot file.

Step 4) 3d print a 3d model of your furniture.

Step 5) Submit your .STL file into Canvas to be graded

There is no paperwork for this project, you will upload your .STL file when you are completely done. 

You must have your .stl file finished before the start of class on Friday or you will not be allowed to 3d print your creations.

1.2.1 Design Process

1) If this is the first day of a new week, please check your Canvas account to see what you earned last week in the class.
2) For the first part of the worksheet for 1.2.1 you will need to watch the first video. Please make a copy of the worksheet into you GTT Turn in folder to be turned in before Friday.




3) For the second part of the worksheet, you will need to Log in to a computer with headphones and listen to one of the Design Squad videos from Season 2. You can choose from: Cardboard Furniture, PVC Kayak, Green Machines, Gravity Bikes, Water Dancing, Backyard Thrill Ride, Big Bugs, Aquatic Robotics, Band Cam, No Crying in Baseball, Hockey Net Target, Off-Road Go-Karts 1, and Off-Road Go-Karts 2.

1.1.2a Intro to Sol - 0

1) Today, and from now on, as soon as you get logged into your computer on the first day of the week, you will want to open up your Canvas account and check to make sure you completed and turned in all of the work from last week.
2) Last week you were supposed to make a copy of your time card for this week into your GTT Turn in Folder.  Every week after that, you will want to open that copy up and simply change the week number to it, adding or subtracting points to reflect your efforts in class.  Please do not wait until Friday to start your time card.  Every day when I ask for you to fill out your time card for the day and clean up your area, that would be a great time to fill out your time card and clean up your area.
3) This week you will be playing Sol - 0 as a team with your table mates.  Please start to answer the questions on 1.1.2a Intro to Sol - 0 before getting to far into your launch.  If at any time, your game locks up or is slow to load, please use that time to go to the Internet to learn more about actually living on Mars.  Research the planet itself and what research is being done to help humans survive there.
