August 5: Power Cube Design Sprint. (6hrs)
August 4: Reviewed the D3D BOM (3hrs)
July 30: Converted CEBPress Frame MidPlate to DXF. (4hrs)
July 22: CEB Press Design Sprint. Worked on re-positioning holes on the Mid Plates of the Frame (3.5hrs), observed sprint on Filament Extruder(3hrs)

These tasks span two weeks but I've ended up lumping them into one timesheet.

File simplification of Lyman Filament Extruder components with particular focus on the spool mechanism (10hrs) File names on the Wiki: File:STL 15 SPOOL COLLAR 10mm.fcstd., File:STL 5 LOOP STAND.fcstd. File:STL 4 SWT WIRE GUIDE.fcstd. File:FCSTD 11 SPOOL PULLEY B.FCstd. File:STL 12 PULLER COG.fcstd.
File simplification of Lyman Filament Extruder components with particular focus on the spool mechanism (10hrs) Filled OSE Developer Feedback Questionnaire and weekly log. (1.5hrs)

Completed stripping of the D3D Full Assembly, by replacing detailed components with stripped parts for file size reduction. Completed derivative design for the D3D frame using PVC pipes and plastic xyz corners. http://opensourceecology.org/wiki/File:D3D_CAD_Assembly.fcstd

FreeCAD file optimization for cable chain working from stl files
Built stripped down version of stl link file in FreeCAD. Sat 27th - 8 hrs. Trying to find decent way around lack of snap function in Sketcher Workbench to be able to create more precise models. Sun 28th - 7 hrs. Mon 29th - 4 hrs.

Exploring options for file optimization in FreeCAD. Discussion covered here: http://network.opensourceecology.org/newsfeed/711386259238428672
Trying out different options for getting file size reduction in FreeCAD and documenting findings. Four Hours on Saturday 20th May and five hours on Sunday 21st May.

First pass at D3D variant with pvc conduit pipe frame and pvc corners. Originally built in proprietary software and then imported into FreeCAD, lots of lag prevented the complete assembly with main D3D components in FreeCAD. This version will be replaced with a simpler version.

* Installing OSE_OS on virtual machine: 3 hrs
* D3D frame assembled out of plastic pipes, elbows and t-junctions, the idea being to see if the entire frame can be assembled out of stock plumbing materials with only five special clamps for holding the metal plates that receive the magnets being 3d printed. Assembly done in proprietary software to iterate through the idea while getting up to speed on FreeCAD. Rendered images produced from this process alongside STEP file for importing into FreeCAD : 11 hrs
*Attempts at importing work produced above into FreeCAD for final assembly. Met with lots of lag and therefore not suitably completed: 3 hrs
