Updates:

Finalized all materials needed - urethane foam (fibreglass foam core) and epoxy resin.

Message Micah Black about the seal… waiting for a reply.

“Marking” is different from “seal”

Ivan’s break is at 8:30-9:00 pm

Next Steps:

Manufacturing plan for molds.

Updates:

Covers for latches - reduce collision with batteries (made if 3D Printing, attached with epoxy)

Added support grid under the base

Added structural ribbing along the edges of the enclosure (epoxy on)

Connection port - 3 inputs, leave a blank slot for now, as we are not sure which ports to model

Seal? - No reply from email, will ask Micah before Thursday.

Will lay off of front design, don’t want to conflict with dashboard

Fabric - Made group chat with Testing DRI’s to search for fabrics together! Researched cleanliness (hydrophobic/antimicrobial coating or a fabric protector) and padding (sponge foam roll/roll tiles).

3D Printing - fast drying polyurethane with spray paint

Next steps:

Renzo - Create a general list of materials to use and amount. Then send list to Kristen.
