Today I got another certification and clearance in a better machining lab on campus. I'm not allowed to use every machine all willy-nilly, however, I have access to high quality and newer machines.
I'm working with one of the TA's on duty at the AFL to work my design, and machining process. Hopefully with his help this will move along quite quickly. Once again, I'm rather excited to get my hands dirty.
Another design option crossed my path today, what if a latch valve existed? Something like the latch on a metal linked watch band, or something like a hose clamp. This would allow a quick connection and an ability to be heated.
Either way, the valves will be ordered this week, and progress will be picking up. My goal is to have a working representation of my product for the project partner to see. This by no means will be a perfect final draft, as I hope that would have steal tubing, permanent connections, and a means to take multiple samples at once.
