October w1 2024

This week felt like a fair bit of hurry-up-and-wait, but we still got a lot done. A lot of our chemicals and test rigs for metamaterial evaluation, biocompatibility, and safety to clean using common hospital cleaners (there’s some conversation about >5% concentration peroxide will be a problem). We’ve had printable models since Tuesday, but unfortunately both of the manufacturing staff were out of town, so we didn’t get to start the print until Friday. We made a huge amount of progress on the Q-submission (the technical writing is all done), took care of a few smaller bugs and refactoring steps on the code side, got quantitative data about the stress/strain curves for different weaves of chainmesh, and took care of some admin work.
