I have been working as promised. This is the fruit of my
efforts. It has all the parts of a regular chassis except the screws. For some
reason, the spreadsheets that I used for the screws kept adding extra pieces
and extrusions on to the model. Besides that, everything seen here is in proper
working order. Unfortunately it is not complete. My computer froze when I was
almost done and then shut down Autodesk Inventor Fusion. After that, Autodesk
refused to touch my file with a ten foot pole. It couldn't be read and the
progress I had made was deleted.
I finally got AutoCAD to open it, but my computer’s speed
was far too slow to handle it. Josh let me use his computer but I was once
again lost on how to use the program. I had developed skills in Fusion and
AutoCAD was for more advanced. I couldn’t even find the list of components of
my piece. I am not sure if it was because the file was modified when Fusion
crashed or if I am just that inefficient with AutoCAD. Nevertheless, I finished
90% of my project. The parts that remain have been built. They just need to be
placed onto the main chassis. This is where my issues lie. I don’t know how to
assemble anything in AutoCAD. I will be working on this over break.
This internship has been a wonderful experience. I did not
get to code or program but I did get a new program to play with. I also got to do
what I love to do on my free time most, sit around and play with design
software all day. If I am chosen to come back in the spring I will see you all
then. If not, have a great break. I hope we all performed well on our finals.
