- Stick with the simple design and figure out the measurements
- Jan. 21 → changed diameter of holes from 5.994 mm to 7.222 mm, decreased area of grating that is covered
- Jan. 29 → sent STL file to Maggie for printing, re-adjusted radius of the holes to be 0.5 mm larger (printer tolerance and sliding fit clearance estimates), added a tolerance of 0.4 mm on all sides of the grating slit for sliding in
November 26
- Grating mounts (V1 and V2) submitted to MyFab
- V2 drafted up with respect to Abeer’s suggestion
- Looks like there’s still no way to avoid the mount touching the grooves of the grating, although V2 touches it less than V1 does

- Leave some room for friction/snap fit

- Securing 2 items together → shouldn’t have to match the thread on both sides
- Probably don’t slide it in if we don’t want to scratch the grating
- Clear aperture surrounds the edge of the actual grating → maybe just design the mount to only touch the clear aperture
- Consider letting it grip the black mount in the other direction
- Next steps: Print one as a first try and learn from it

- Walk in and ask for a square 3mm thick 25 x 25 mm piece
October 30
- Figured out how to sketch on an angled plane
- Slightly modified idea to be more structurally robust
- Spoke about the FLIR Tau SWIR Sensor mount project
- Okay with working on that with Shivanshi
- Next steps:
- Organize a meeting to talk about sensor mount for November 3 (Thursday)
- Nancy will try to finish the design in Fusion 360
- Try to speak to Maggie and David if they have time about next steps + printing
October 11
- Ask David to share Fusion 360 workspace with Nancy
- Talked to Nancy about the project
- Sketching, extruding, projecting surfaces onto sketches etc.
- How to make a dice in Fusion 360 CAD
