Week0 Preferences
We got assigned a project the printer project

Week1 Narrative
We had to research different part of printer

Week2 Narrative
On Monday we were given more instruction on how the class would operated and what is expected of us in the class.Wednesday we were assigned our project 0 started of by research the different parts of the printer such as Fuser,Rear output bin, Dust cover, Memory access door, and Toner cartridge access

Week3 Narrative
''1.Before we disassemble the printer we discussed which panels should taken apart in order to take out from needs to be removed from the inside 2.We started off by removing the Fuser(removes paper jams)and dust cover from the back which allowed us to the find the ink cartridge and fan after finding these to parts we took picture of them from different angles 3.Then we remove the memory access door and by doing that we found a nob that could potentially be a part that assets the Fuser and allows paper to come out of the machine 4.Next we started to remove the top cover to see which screws and bolts need to be removed in order find reusable parts from the inside. Later Later in the process we found a circuit board that had the resistor and compressor ''

Week4 Narrative
On Monday, I researched programming and software systems are that are offered. OpenSCAD is a CAD program that produces 3-D models. I find a wikibook OpenSCAD User Manual that will be help to understand the coding to produce 3-D shapes.

On Wednesday the group work after class and disassembled the printer and took pictures and notes of the major components. The group started with a plan to remove the outside panels of the printer because this would allow us to look at the inside of the printer to determine what could be unscrewed. The side panels were no problem to remove. However the group could not remove the front or the top panels without breaking something. Later we figure out that the top panel was remove by pressing on a clip that kept it attached. The group tried unscrewing thing in the front to remove the front panel but we were only unscrewing other minor parts. The group then decided that the front panel could not be remove. The paper tray, the ink cartridge and the fuser were the first components that were remove. The ink cartridge could be reused or recycled. Unscrewing more parts we found a gear train, some circuit boards, a fan, and wires. At the end the group was able to remove the main body of the printer from where the tray of paper was held. The screws and the gears some of the wire could be reused for other projects. Identify some of the components on the circuit board such as the resistor, capacitor, transistor and other electronic components. The electronic components could not be reused because they were soldered to the circuit board.
