CONCEIVING AND ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Idea
The idea is to work on google sketch-up, to make a schematic for a 3D printer-ready finger clip on which a pulse sensor will be fixed later on, to measure up the pulse rate.

Starting Point
The goal is to work on sketchup, the one on which past team worked on. Lots of changes were made on the previous design. The mystery of making hole on the curve surface was finally unveiled here is the youtube of step by step tutorial Click Here

There is an error of missing hole and random triangular block appearing on the final 3D printout, its either Makerbot or Sketchup that is not properly working. Various designs were created on sketchup but none of them seems to be working, which tells that it not the sketch-up itself. The focus is completely diverted towards the discordance between the Makerbot and Sketchup. The error exist on the .skp to .stl file convertor.

After trying various .skp to .stl converter the problem was not solved so the whole new 3d modeling software was introduce inorder to create an error-less finger-clip model. Here is the link of that online 3d modeling software.

Next Steps
Try using different file converters(.skp to .stl) to find out where the real problem dwells.
