First prototype for the companion device has finished printing. To access the src file look at the github page under models.
Some specifications of the object: it will receive data from the monitoring device and alert the parent when they need to take action in order to help their child. We currently want to add a speaker and some LEDs to alert and provide guidance. Let us know if you have any ideas. :-)
All in all, we made a lot of mistakes printing this prototype. Special Guest Jean-Ernestin Von Klinex agreed to give his opinion on it here:
" Did you use the printer for 35 hours to print a god damn cube? *Begin to laugh extensivly* "
In more details, it was a bad idea:
- to start prototyping in 3D printing when we could have done it faster with cardboard
- to print the entire cube when we could have printed only the three faces we needed
- to print with 80% (more or less) infill instead of 10%. This was actually not our mistake, something apparently went wrong with the communication from the software to the machine. However, we should have stopped the printing process when we realised it was not printing with the right settings
- to print with support for the face decorations when just turning the object would have removed the need for supports
