19 STUDENTS
I am also imparting training to all first year students during physics Lab (3 PM
to 5 PM) daily.
We have started the training from 20 Feb 2017. And the students have been
participating very actively, creating fun conversations and a lot of information-
sharing about this emergent field of education.
Our training basically involves the following fields
1. Software
3d file editing: some students approved of netfabb, MeshLab (open source),
MeshMixer SolidWorks,
Rhino, Fusion 360 (Autodesk),
123D (Autodesk),
3DSMax (Autodesk),
Tinkercad (also Autodesk),
OpenSCAD (free and open, but requires command line interface). Students had
mixed feelings about
Sketchup in terms of price and file format.
Some interest in Onshape (forthcoming).
Scanning: 123d Catch (Autodesk),
Skanect (Occipital).
Printing management software: PrintToPeer and Octoprint.
open sourced, RepRancher.

2. Hardware
Knowledge about printers like Printrbot, the MakerGear M series,
FlashForge, B9Creator, Ultimaker 2,
the TAZ series, and PowerSpec.
the open RepRap ecosystem.
Also Bukito (portable).
Scanners: Xbox Kinect, DAVID.
Simplify 3d for all hardware .

3. Practices
Be aware that creating a model is 90% of the work.
Challenges: getting older programs to generate 3d content. Coping with how
long it takes to print objects, and how much support is needed.
Keep an eye out for creative and innovative uses of 3d printing, which uses an
accordion style to save space.

Financial Limits: we touched on financing 3d printing, but didnt proceed in


enough depth. Students were very energized by 3d printing.

Overall, a dynamic, inspiring, a glimpse into a rapidly developing field.

COURSES ENROLLED WITH THE STUDENTS

COURSE 1 # AUTODESK FUSION 360


I am also enrolled and all students are also doing it.
I am planning to introduce this into the physics lab. Some students of CSE are very interested.
COURSE # 2 (Worlds First Online Program for 3D Printing) CLASS CENTRAL
I am doing the free version.

I am trying to search more free courses on 3D printing.

PROJECTS WITH STUDENTS

A PROJECT WITH 2ND YEAR ECE

ANTI GRAVITATOR
We have started to work on building the Anti-Gravitator (OSHPark):
https://www.oshpark.com/shared_projects/7TnLB2hD.
Some notes:
The only issue I had during assembly was that I got the polarity of the coil backwards initially. There's
a 50/50 chance you'll get it right, which means it's a 99% chance I'll get it wrong (Murphy's Law). If
you are setting it up for the first time and you find that as you adjust it, it doesn't seem to be doing
anything, and there's a single point in the adjustment band where it wants to slightly repel the
magnet instead of attract it, you most likely need to switch the wires to the coil and reverse its
polarity. When you have the polarity correct, you'll feel the magnet start to vibrate in your hands as
you hold it in place and adjust the potentiometer and get near the "resonance point". If you don't
feel it vibrate anywhere within the adjustment range of the potentiometer, you most likely need to
switch the leads to the coil.
Components Required:
1 - MCP1702-5002E 5V, 250mA LDO TO-92 Voltage Regulator (DigiKey: MCP1702-5002E/TO-ND)
1 - NE5532P OpAmp (DigiKey: 296-1410-5-ND)
1 - P-Channel 55V 42A MOSFET (DigiKey: IRF4905LPBF-ND)
1 - 4.7k ohm 5% 1/4W resistor
1 - 680k ohm 5% 1/4W resistor
3 - 0.1uF ceramic disc capacitor (5.08mm/0.200" lead spacing)
1 - 100uF 25V electrolytic capacitor
1 - 1N4148 diode
1 - 1K multiturn Bourns 3299W potentiometer (or equivalent)
1 - A1302 Allegro Ratiometric Hall-Effect (DigiKey: 620-1022-ND). Note: Allegro has end-of-life'd this
Hall-Effect sensor. As of this posting, DigiKey still has over 11,000 of them. But I don't know what
Hall-
Effect will be a suitable replacement should they run out. So you may want to check its availability
first and/or find a replacement before starting this build.
For the coil, use 30ga magnet wire and wound enough to fill the spool (I didn't measure the length,
but I've included a picture of my wound coil). When complete, it measured 50.8-ohms.

The power adapter can be selected as a Cabletron Systems 120VAC 60Hz 19W Power Adapter off
Amazon, since it is only $5(USD). Though rated at 15VDC at 900mA, it actually measures between 19-
20VDC when not under load (didn't bother measuring it with a load). just cut the connector off and
soldered the leads to the board. On the one I received, the lead with the stripe was the positive lead,
but be sure to check yours with a volt meter before attaching the leads to the board, since reversing
the power supply polarity could damage it.

A PROJECT WITH 1st YEAR


Laser Diffraction Grating

( 3 D STL FILE) ( As seen under spectroscope)

This is an extremely cheap laser diffraction grating which can be used, along with an ordinary
laser pointer, to conduct the double-slit experiment and demonstrate the wave/particle duality of
light. To print, set your layer height to .25mm and make your extrusion width 0.4mm. Make sure
that your slicer is not producing a fatter extrusion on the first layer, otherwise you'll get a solid
thin film, not a set of slits
