16th week

FERNANDO HUMANES

This week we started with the third challenge.

This challenge is based on reverse engineering, the challenge is to make a plastic injection mold.

In the challenge they give us the built mold, what we have to do are the drawings of the assembly and of each piece of the plastic injection mold.

To perform this challenge, we can perform together with the other groups, a group component can measure the pieces of the set and pass them to the other groups and viseversa.

The piece that makes this mold is a plastic piece for holding our die at rest.

The piece we make may be the same or different, that depends on the choice of the group.

To perform this challenge we have the month of February, the importance of this challenge is to make the plans correctly or as completely as possible, we have to enter the geometric and dimensional tolerances.

In this challenge the assembly is not mandatory, but if it is done it will have a plus.

We have also conducted a foundry test with Nagore.

We are already in the last weeks of the course and the nerves emerge, we are already looking forward to finishing with the best possible result, since the effort and sacrifice has been considerable.

In the end we have extended the delivery date of the challenge before Wednesday of this new week.

By giving us more time we had time to make improvements to the project. I have decided to take advantage of these three extra days to do well the assembly of my individual base with the die of the group and with the press.

We made improvements and added more material to the final report before going to print it and deliver it on Wednesday.

On Thursday of this week we have also had to deliver the recovery of the die which has been complicated because we have had to do a 3 month job in one month and matching it with the challenge we were currently doing.

The last two days of this week we have been measuring a set of pieces that form an injection mold and designing it in catia to be able to draw the plans.

Being a father

Being a father is really difficult job. My baby was born on the 24th of January.

It was a really tough day. No sleeping, dizzy and any other emoption I havent had before.

The first two days I thought it was going to be easy. She only ate and slept all day.

When we got home everything changed. She crys a lot and at night I cant hardenly even sleep. I usually sleep three or four hours a day. I don feel good. I feel sick.

Im dizzy all day and the sensation that I have is like if I had a fever. In the mornings I try to come to class because I dont want to miss anything, and in the afternoon I have to go to the company to precced with the dual.When I get home, I have many work to do. Things that my girlfriend cant do.

I also have my girlfriends mother at home all day. Shes not a bad lady but I would like stay  alone a while. When I kind of calmed down. I dont want to do anything. I just want to sleep when I have a momento. But, When I try to sleep everything goes crazy again.

I dont know what the hell Im in but its very difficult for me to stay with everything.My mind does work right and I cant concentrate. I just need a long period vacation. Thats how my life Works day by day.

It sucks……….
