Welcome to my blog :D

Hello :D welcome to my blog. I'm Xavier from DCHE/FT/2B/01 from team KANX. In this blog I will be documenting my journey and experience of learning this new module called Chemical Product Design & Development (CPDD or CP5070). When I first saw what I would be learning in this module, I got pretty excited as I found out that I would get to learn things like 3D printing, laser cutting and Arduino programming which I did before in secondary 2. My experience with Arduino programming at that time though was very limited as I was more proficient with the wiring and was tasked with doing that. 


Some things about me
I'm a person that likes trying new things. I wouldn't really say I have a hobby as I do many things. Some of the things I do in my spare time is gaming, playing chess, watching anime and as for cca I'm currently in SP Judo. Some things I have tried are bungee jumping, skiing and ice skating etc.


Goals I have for this module
The goals I have for this module is to enjoy myself while learning new skills that I would be able to use for projects and maybe in the future as well. The skills I would like to have is to be more proficient in the use of CAD. This would allow me to be faster and more efficient and be able to make more complex designs with lesser time. The other goal I would like to achieve is something that's leaning more towards soft skills as its importance has been increasing in the work place and something that employers are seeking out. The skills that I would want to develop is to have more effective communication.

Some strategies I have in mind to get better at using CAD is to simply practice. I personally don't think that there is any short cuts to learning and getting better at using CAD other than to practice.

The strategy which I would use to improve my communication skills is to ask for feedback about how to ask questions and other things and to take that feedback with an open mind. With that feedback feedback, I will reflect and think about what I can change.

Handphone stand

LASER CUTTING For my handphone stand design, I wanted to go with something cool and interesting but after researching and thinking for a bit, I had decided to do a clean and sleek hand phone stand with a print/etch/design on the back. this is the design I will be going for. Its simple and clean and can I can easily add a design at the back. Now onto actually making the handphone stand.  The first step is the easiest, press sketch and draw a simple line of 80mm The second step is to roughly draw a line like this. For now we don't need to worry about the specific of the angles and lengths too much as we will be adjusting that later on. The third step is to do roughly the same thing just that this line is specified to be 70mm. The fourth step is where we start to get specific but don't worry, we will be taking it slow and easy. For this step, we will use sketch dimensions and select the lines drawn in the second and third step and adjust the angle in between them to be 40 degrees

CPDD Blog Project Development

  For this blog entry, we are going to talk about: Our chemical device How our team planned, allocated the tasks, and executed the project. Documentation of the entire design and build process our your chemical device In charge of every part of the project Documentation of individual contribution to this project Links to page of teammates’ blog Problems the team faced and how we overcome them 1. Our team Chemical Device The chemical device that we made is the tea maker and its objective is to make tea automatically as tea brewing is a very technical skill and  steeping  tea  has to be done very precisely. This makes it very hard to consistently make the tea and thus making it automatically done will help with the ease the tea making process and the taste. 2. Team Planning, allocation, and execution Our team consists of 4 members:  Xavier (me) as the CSO,  Nick as the CEO, Kieran as the COO, Anwar as the CFO  3.
