- | ====== challenge: Lasercutter ====== | + | Grace kicked off this project and many hacklab members have contributed. |
- | Grave produced a The [[http:// | + | ===== Waterfall |
- | Find a way to setup the pieces that a maximum number, can be fitted on to sheet. We need to cut on our laser cutter 250 pieces of it. | + | |
- | For production we just have four full sheet and two smaller sheet in stock. | + | |
- | Smaller sheet: at least 300mm x 500 mm (Plus 80mm x 120mm) | + | |
- | problem: inkscape v0.48 displays each piece as 210.140mm x 157.726mm : | + | [[https://www.flickr.com/ |
- | confirmed: Max length - 61.5mm, Max width 46.15mm | + | ===== Next Steps ===== |
- | The file saved on jane's kay folder has duplicated elements stacked over each other in it. | + | **What does the waterfall need next?** |
- | This file should be have no overlapping layer on to it. | + | |
- | This is the file that can be used by the laser cutter software. | + | |
- | This is the Inkscape file. | + | * More thin nozzles or slightly improved nozzles |
- | ====== challenge: Trough Construction ====== | + | * ... |
- | A trough needs to be built to sit below the waterfall, collect the water, and funnel it away to the tank that the pump is sitting in. It needs to be ~2.2m long (the length of the waterfall + 0.2m splash zone), ~0.4m wide, and ~100mm deep. The bottom of the trough needs to be raised ~0.5m off the ground (or at least, to a level safely above the required submerged depth of the pump). | ||
- | To cover the trough need material that is waterproof and more robust then black bin liner. | + | ===== Design Challenges ===== |
- | Grace suggested: | + | Early experiments and notes [[waterfall_design]] |
- | Garden pond material. | + | |
- | Tim suggested: | + | ===== Software ===== |

- | ====== challenge: Frame Construction ====== | + | |
- | + | ||
- | A frame needs to be built to hold the waterfall. Currently the idea is to make the 4 black shelving stands (currently in the storeroom) into two A-frames. Each A-frame would be made by tilting 2 stands towards each other and bracing horizontally. These then have to be joined together at a fixed distance of > 2.1m (the length of the waterfall itself). | + | |
