My name is Adam "Adat" Goodman, and I would like to welcome you to my senior project blog. Although I don't have any specific intentions with my blog, or expect anyone to read it, I just thought it would be a fun outlet for me to have between the hours of 12:00AM-2:00AM. I hope to use it to give updates about my work, and also provide a reasonable starting ground for anyone trying to replicate it.
The goal of my senior project is to accomplish three things:
1) Turn an old, semi-broken Creality Ender 3 3D printer into a functional etch-a-sketch laser engraver. I've wanted to do this for a while, and found a mysterious video from 2011 where a Stanford student made one. I believe that my laser cutter will work very similarly to this, and if I feel ambitious enough it will also be a bit more aesthetically pleasing. I also must give credit to NSFW YouTuber Michael Reeves for recently making a contraption (WARNING: NSFW) that is fundamentally similar to my project: it uses a 3D printer frame, motors, and electronics to hold and control a unique apparatus.
2) Work with my school's alumni board and fellow graduating environmental club members to create an environmental advisory board. Although I'm super excited for this, it will be hard to blog about and will not receive a lot of coverage here.
3) Although it's not an official part of my senior project, I want to learn more about telecommunications science: the study of making sure you're able to reliably binge watch Netflix and upload TikToks wherever you are. I recently accepted a summer internship in engineering sales for a company that makes and analyzes testing equipment for cell network reliability, and want to be prepared. I plan to post cool telecommunications facts for you to relish with each blog post.
I plan to post to my blog every other day-ish, and describe updates on my work.
