Please note that this is the final upload version, which means that we've retracted all confidential information and it is not the same version we showed in class. Ultimately, most of the material is still the same.
On behalf of the Full Scale (now Supports and Railing) team, we are excited to be done and to showcase our project at Maker Faire this weekend. It was a great experience and we are proud of our work for this semester. I hope that future teams can also implement our work to the actual full scale model at some point in the future. We're grateful to Dr. Furman, Ron, and Eric for letting us work on this project and for giving us such positive feedback over the entire year. We look forward to graduation!

Week 27 Progress (2017-5-10)
Vander-Bend has still not gotten back to us. At this point, we don't think the stub column will be fabricated. We still have the model that Andries gave to us, though, so we will bring that to Maker Faire to demonstrate the column's geometry.
Claude has been diligently working on piecing together all of the acrylic parts. The columns and guideway sections are now completely together and the footings are attached. Everything is ready to assemble and go to Maker Faire.
As for the PVC and wooden models, those have been completed for a couple weeks now. In class on Wednesday, 5/10, we will be attaching the PVC flanges and wooden platforms to the base as footings. Then they will be 100% complete. Now, we will work on our final presentation, which we present on Friday, 5/12, to the department.

Week 26 Progress (2017-5-3)
Vander-Bend has not emailed us since April 21, though Kathlyn has sent follow-up emails. At this point, if they still take 3 weeks to fabricate, we will not be able to manufacture the column stub in time for Maker Faire.
Claude has made much more progress on his model, since he was finally able to laser cut his parts. He spent a lot of time redesigning the parts for the laser cutter due to minimum spacing requirements, configuration adjustments, and adding a new part. He also made a newer version of the SOLIDWORKS model the whole assembly (minus the footings). More images related to this can be found on his blog in the post titled "Back on Track" and "Approaching Completion" at http://claudemichel-spartansuperwayblog.blogspot.com/

Kathlyn has been looking for PVC flanges online while Claude has gone in person to a few hardware stores. These flanges will serve as our footings for our entire architectural model. For Claude and Kathlyn's models, which use PVC as the column outside, the base diameter needs to be 1". For Winter's, which uses a slightly larger size of square-based wood, the base diameter needs to be 1 1/4". The flange would then be attached to some stock wood found in the Superway Shop.
