Other Schoolwork
I have worked on many other projects at school; however, I have included 2 other projects I have worked on during senior school.
The 1st project a temperature recorder designed to be simple and easy to assemble.
The 2nd project is a model of a cantilever brake that shows how it works while also being easy to assemble
Both have differing use cases and overall objectives, yet use the same philosophy of being easily constructed by any person.
Projects
Engineering Bicyclc Brake Model
A cantilever brake uses a wire that connects each arm of the brake and meets in a central hub, which is hooked to a second wire that is attached to the lever. Although this model is meant to be more functional, I still included design features such as maintaining curvature.
iSteam Temperature Recorder
This project was based on proving whether a door being open or closed has any impact on the temperature in a room. The objective I set for this design was to be as compact and simple as possible. That way, anyone could set it up with little to no problems.

Final product without power
This is the final product with the mother board, breadboard, wires, ultra sonic sensor and temperature sensor
Use in action
This was it in use, which shows the temperature as well as whether the designated door is open or not.
I have little to no coding background, so I used AI and collaborative assistance in writing the code. This helped me form a cohesive, modern approach that supported the function of the code

Arm
To me, the arm was a part that could easily be modified to have greater utility and form. This influenced the curved design, which not only reduces the amount of filament needed but also fits the overall smooth philosophy followed throughout the process. I also included slits at the tip to secure the wire.
Lever
Not only does the lever continue the smooth curved look, but I found that due to how I wanted the lever arm to be pressed, it looked like a cockatoo. So I adjusted it to fit that look while also maintaining its function. The front has a hook for the wire at the front and a spring would be hooked underneath the 'beak' towards a holder beneath it.
The lever wasn't moulded into the bike's fork, so I needed a way to attach it. I could not have the plug attached directly to the lever, as it would make it too top-heavy and I would struggle to print. This led me to design this plug with a screw held by bars that would hold it in place. It was printed separately and would have the main (yellow) screw attach via a hole in the base of the lever. This would align with the holes on the side of the plug, allowing the pins (green and red) to slot into it, locking it in place.
