Buildhub #5 - Come Hack a Gumball Machine

​Do you want to do something inspiring in Fusion360? Use it to design magic? Use 3D printing to manifest it? ~lol

​​​​HI! I'm Suraj Kumar and I can teach you how to become a maker in five days. I was the Chief Engineer of Sherpy, a drone startup that manufactured small, long-range airplanes for commercial delivery (sherpymedia.com). I now founded a neurotech startup (cerelog.com).

​There's a bubble gum machine that could use some love. I would like to put some attention to it since attention is love.

​This is a small group activity targeting 6 high attention folks who have the itch to hack.

​WHAT YOU'LL DO

• ​Observe the state of the machine

• ​Deduce the dataflow of the machine

• ​Link mechanisms that we see to this dataflow

• ​Observe and describe the state of these mechanisms

• ​Diagnose the state of the mechanisms (if issues)

• ​Prescribe solutions to the mechanisms (if applicable)

• ​Design solutions in Fusion360

• ​Characterize the solutions

• ​3D Print the solutions with a Bambu X1 Carbon printer

• ​Administer the solutions to the mechanisms

• ​Run the machine

• ​Observe the state of the machine

​DETAILS​​​​​

• ​I think it will take around ~five days at a relaxed pace

• ​​​​​​Professional guidance from an experienced engineer

• ​​​​​​Learn to navigate Fusion360 and think like a designer

• ​Hack the machine. Fertile hacking ground

​REGISTRATION

• ​​​​​​Sliding scale costs of $5/food to $pay_whenever_whatever

​Your Host:

• ​​​​​​Suraj Kumar, Mechanical Engineer with years of Fusion360 experience
