Prototyping Blog Documentation Week 10

For this week, we continued working on our prototype designs in CAD. 

With help from the professor, we created a new system in which that would be used to hold the storage units inside the bike tube. It would be done by inverting the thread to be so the storage cap would be inserted into the tube holder and being screwed into from there. Below is the previous iteration of the how the storage would be held in the bike tube with a large cap on top of a storage unit. 

And here is the current iteration of the system.

It would still retain a cap as to prevent the tubes from falling out, but also be able to provide an additional storage space without wasting space. 

The current issue that I have run into is making the cap itself, which CAD is not allowing me to do so. 

For next week I hope to get the cap modeled by then and have the design 3d printed.
