Give instructor top 3 project choice list
The three top projects I selected from the General Engineering Project catagory are wind tunnel, perfume, and ice spikes. Since no one are in one of those catagories, I was assigned to the 3-D MakerBot printer by the instructor, which I am unfamiliar with.

Write problem statement
The problem is finding any objects that can fit through the 3-D printer. I considered model statues and monuments but I doubt that they are going to fit through the MakerBot.

Assign Task1
Get to know the MakerBot and what it does.

Compare actual work done to Task1
Rationalize differences

Week1 Narrative
Upload photos to wikimedia. Upload video to youtube. Convert all spreadsheets, documents, and presentations to wiki format and create wiki subpage of your page for each of them. Link to them here in a narrative that tells a story. High light the problems (engineering problems) you had and how you solved them.

Week1 Peer Review
Go to each team mates weekly summary wiki page. Read their activities and narrative. Then go the associated discussion page. Say something positive on this page. Try some constructive criticism. Add your name and 1sfoerster 13:32, 28 August 2011 (UTC) to create a time and date stamp. Create a new category if another team mate has already commented here.

Assign Task2
Record what you are planning on doing for the team during the weekend between week1 and week2 of the project here.

I will bring a video camera on Friday to make a vivdeo tour of the MakerBot.

Week2 Narrative

I bought my video camera to the lab to take video and pictures of the gear being scanned. We decided that we going to pick a gear for the object to be scanned. In order for the gear to reach the top parallel to the red light, we need something to hold the gear and make it parallel to the red laser. So we used a red plastic cup to make the gear reach the height. Same height as the red laser. We wanted the red infrared laser parallel to the wall because we want to form a big red light on the wall. We used a drinking glass for reflection of the laser light. Finally we were ready for scanning. For better view of the light, we turned off the lights. After we turn off the lights, the red light enriched. Then Alex opened the scanning software MeshLab, which I never heard of. The MeshLab screen opened. The gear was ready to be scanned. During the scanning process, Alex  explained what is going on while I captured the video of the activity he is doing. Alex rotated the cup holding the gear so every detail and every side of the gear appear on the MeshLab screen. After the scanning process is done, there was an error. The picture of the gear did not appear at the MeshLab screen. Only few parts of the gear appeared on the MeshLab screen. Alex did the scanning process again and we stil got the same problem. The scanned image still did not appear.

Here is a youtube video of the plastic gear being scanned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRV9fGIgLyM

Week3 Peer Review
Alex did excellent job because he knows more of MeshLab scanning software than I do. ===Assign Task4 We are going to try again of getting the scanned image of the gear on the MeshLab screen.
