What I have done:
Notes:
In this week we have been told to finish up on our musix box and our 3D printing of the knight piece using the fablab equipment. The box turned out to be a bit big but turned out well, however the same could not be said for the 3D printed chess piece. The printer used was the Ultimaker 2+ which is a fairly old printer and therefore has limiting capabilites which don't allow it to reach modern standard of print quality such as the Ender 3 or Prusa mk3 resulting in terrible generated support. If time allows then I will reprint the knight chess piece on my own printer and showcase it next week.

What I have done:
Week 15:
Assignment:
Start working on final project
Notes:
This week we've been told to start on our projects as much as posible especially if we need to use the laser cutting machine. Reason for that is because most of the laser cutters in the school are down and there are only 2 availble at T11 sqaure which is to be shared amongst all students.
