Tuesday
1. 3D printed a small bucket and few component for a PLC training kit.
2. The PLC training kit was actually a sorting machine for black and white cylinder that use conveyor and senor.
3. The bucket will move left and right pushed by an actuator.
4. A 5/3 way solenoid valve will divert compress air into the actuator to make it pull or push.
6. The valve will be trigger by sensor.

Saturday
1. Setup new 3D printed. The brand was Creality CR-10 3D printer.
2. This printer can print more precise and accurate with better printing quality. Also equip with pause/resume print.
3. Get hands on 3D printer pen. Really handy.
4. In the evening, I had a quick PLC course with my supervisor.
5. During the session, I manage to programmed the PLC to light up tower lamp with different color correspond to push button that were pressed.
