Meeting Minutes 4/2

Updates

Isabella & Sarah: First round of injection molding galaxies, spins pretty well on rivet

- hole works well,

- center part gets stuck in mold, winds up making galaxy conical

- work on putting draft angle on center

- do second batch on friday

Kaitlyn & Jess:

- did 30 rounds of optimization today, thermoform machine finicky

- finally got parameters to work, done doing optimization except for final run of optimization

- fits window, use the 2.220” die cut

Helena:

- mold is more or less finished

- optimized injection molding process

- lots of struggles making mold (endmill broke off in middle of making design, center drill probs)

- might have to change size of ring based on body, depending on what part needs to change

- fits nicely with the thermoform window

Kirstyn & Colette:

- injection mold should be done by friday

Color Discussion:

UN54099 → Purple for retainer and body

Teal → glow in dark for galaxy

Conclusion:

- Waiting for injection molding of body, after this is done we can see how yo-yo fits together and we can alter other mold components.  After that, everyone should do final batches and optimization.
