Not much going around today. I did a few housekeeping job, rearranged electronic component in tray and adjusting shop layout. I met new person name Amos. He's doing his practical as well like me. I'm spending the day completing my solidwork drawing on air ducting ventilation. Hakim and me brainstorming the cost and material required for the ducting. I was told that I will get hands on with engineering tools when doing the ducting installation later.

Today I did a little bit of housekeeping, hung banner on shop entrance and arrange equipment in shop in proper place in order to make space for new project. Later that day, I browse the internet to seek information about electro-pneumatic. I found several software that is good for simulation. Among the software were Fluidsim by Festo. About the software, it already contain a lot of valve, actuator, electrical switches and many more that is easy to use. I use the software to do simulation for my food filler project. My supervisor asked me to show him the simulation in order for him to approve my circuit design.

Today I learnt about 3D printing. The 3D printer model that I used was TRONXY P802MA. The software that I used to create the model was Solidwork and the software that I used to run the printer was Repetier Host. The steps to 3D print were, firstly I made a 3D model of UTM in solidwork. Then I saved it in .stl format. After that I transferred the model into Repetier and the software then will calculate the nozzle route, printing time, the printing layer and the amount of filament that will be use. At first, the 3D printer had some problem with the nozzle as there was no filament that comes out. Turns out, the extruder motor fail to grab the filament that causes the filament not entering the nozzle. I had to force the filament through the nozzle with my bare hand. At the end of the day, I managed to print UTM logo successfully.
