3.4.1.1 3D Printing Parts

Prepare the 3D printer to print ABS.

Print 4 copies of the wheel_nut.stl file provided in appendix iii, at a resolution of 100m and a 20%
infill.
During printing make sure printer is not disturbed and that the finished pieces are removed from the
printer base carefully in the way instructed by printer.
Check the final print for defects and compliance with the provided file.
Repeat and print 2 copies of the axle_holder_2.0.stl file provided in appendix iii.

3.4.1.2 Wooden Parts Preparation

Draw the wooden parts from appendix iv to scale onto the MDF board from.
Cut out traced blocks with the bandsaw cutting on the outer edge of the lines.
Mark the centre of the wheels and the centre of the circle for the bottle supports.
Use the compass to draw the wheels to diameter as shown on drawing 006.
Cut out the wheels by cutting around the lines marked with the band saw and then sand down to
the line.
Check the wheels for constant diameter using the Vernier, sand down wider any areas to create the
round wheels, drawing 007.
Drill 16, 1.5mm pilot holes 10mm deep into the chassis base for the axle holders as shown on
drawings 002, and 003.
Drill 1.5mm holes through the base 12 times as shown on drawing 001 and 009 for the bottle
supports (005) and bottle end blocks (004).
Countersink the 12 holes through the chassis by using a 4mm drill bit to drill down 1.8mm into the
existing holes.
Use the 70mm drill hole punch to remove the centre circle of the bottle support blocks and cut it in
half along the long side of the block to be left with the 2 bottle support blocks shown in drawing 005.
Drill 3, 1.5mm pilot holes 10mm deep into base of the 2 bottle support blocks (005) and the 2 bottle
end blocks (004), as shown on drawings 001, and 010.
Drill a 1.5mm pilot hole 10mm deep and 10mm from the bottom of both sides of the 2 bottle
support blocks.
Use the 3D printed wheel nuts (006) to mark the position for the screws onto the 4 wheels (007).
Drill 4, 1.5mm pilot holes 10mm deep into the 4 wheels (007) for the screws to mount the wheel
nuts (006) as shown on the drawings 005 and 007.
Double check all straight edges on the wooden pieces using the set square.

3.4.1.3 Chassis Assembly

Screw the axle holders onto the chassis base with 8 screws each as shown on drawing 002.
Line up the bottle supports and end blocks onto the Chassis as shown on drawing 002.
Use 3 drops of super glue on each to secure the bottle support blocks and bottle end blocks onto the
chassis and hold tight for at least thirty seconds.

16 | P a g e
 Screw 2, 30mm screws through the chassis into each bottle support block and bottle end block
making sure the screw heads are flush with the base.

3.4.1.4 Cargo Strap

Take the polyester belting and cut into 2 220mm halves.

Screw one piece of the belting, 10mm from end, into the pilot hole of either side of the bottle
support block and do the same for the other piece of belting on the other side of the second bottle
support block.
Secure one buckle only (not with the clip) 10mm from the base of the chassis with 2 drops of glue
and then screw a screw through the base of the buckle into the pilot holes on the side of the support
block then do the same for the other support block.
Thread the clip for the buckle onto the belting to a point where it clips into the buckle with room to
hold the bottle tight.
Check the strap under tension to test for weaknesses and fix any weaknesses found accordingly
without compromising design integrity.

3.4.1.5 Wheel Assembly

Tap the wheel nuts with an M6 thread to fit the axle.

Centre and screw the wheel nuts (006) onto the 4 wheels with 4 screws each as shown in drawing
001, 002 and 011.
Cut 8, 19mm thick rings off the end of the pool noodle and cut all rings once to form long strips.
Glue 2 strips around each wheel using only a thin line of super glue and hold in place for at least 30
seconds.
If there are any gaps around the circumference of the wheels cut a small piece of foam from the
noodle to fit and glue it in using a small drop of glue and holding for 30 seconds.
Check all the foam around the wheels, if any is loose use another drop of glue and hold once again
for at least 30 seconds.
Cut the threaded rod in half with a hacksaw to form the 2 axles 220mm in length.
Place the axles through the axle holders and centre them before screwing on 2 lock nuts onto each
axle on either end with 1mm between the nuts and the axle holder edge as shown in drawings 002
and 011.
Screw on another lock nut onto each end of each axle so that there is a 2mm gap between the end
of the nut and the end of the chassis base as shown in drawing 002.
Thread the wheels with their nuts onto the axle and tighten up against the outer lock nuts as shown
in drawings 002 and 011.
Thread another lock nut onto the end of the axle and tighten against the wheel nut as shown in
drawings 002 and 011.
Check that none of the wheels are loose, if so tighten the nuts around the wheel nuts to ensure a
tight fit.
Check that the axles spin with the connected wheels and that the connected wheels spin together.
One final check over the unit is to be done to check compliance with the design specifications and
the clients specifications.

5 Tender Evaluation Criteria

5.1 Introduction:

Interstellar Solutions prides itself on producing products on time and to a high standard. To enable this, we
only hire contractors that meet certain criteria that mitigate the risk of a failure to construct a high quality
rover. This document lists the criteria that potential contractors are assessed against. It is in your best
interest to meet as many of these criteria as possible, as they are how we decide which contractors are most
suitable for the construction of our design. Each criteria has a different weighting, but overall, the maximum
score any group of contractors can receive is 100 points.

5.2 Time Management Skills (20 points):

Proving to us that you have handed in all your weekly progress reports on time, and that you have regularly
set and achieved your own weekly project deadlines which are relevant to the EFPC unit, exemplifies your
time management skills. They also epitomise the values of hard work and dedication that we at Interstellar
solutions are expecting of you. This skill displays that not only are you- as contractors more likely to
construct our design within the project timeframe, but you are more likely to construct our design to a high
standard and to comply with our specifications. Thus the risk of a substandard rover construction or a failure
to construct our design on time is mitigated.

Communication is paramount to the success of our project. By demonstrating that you have created your
own communication network, you are deemed more likely to communicate frequently with our group if any
help is needed, or if meetings need to be arranged. This is particularly important near the end of our project.
Such a skill will help produce a rover that is of a high quality, by reducing the risk of a poor submission due to
lack of discussion or supervision of constructors.

effectively. One of these
contractors will be the primary

contractor that the designers
will communicate with online,
the second constructor will be

Team management and preparation is key to the success of Interstellar Solutions and of the contractors. By
providing detailed and well thought out GANTT charts for the construction side of the project, you are
showing you are prepared for the deadlines and commitments and are involved in this project. These GANTT
charts are expected to be much more specific and targeted than those produced in the Stage One Design
Package as they should be focused solely on a single section of the project.

Experience and access to the above power tools is of prime importance to construction of our design.
Regular use of power tools over the last four years, proves to us that you are capable of constructing our
design to a high standard and that during construction you are less likely to injury yourself. Thus reducing
the risk of a lower mark due to poor quality construction, but more importantly making sure you are less
likely to be injured during construction.

The Understanding of our design is crucial to the success of Interstellar Solutions and is necessary to meeting
the requirements of our client- EMPACT. By showing understanding of our design, you prove to us that you
are capable of not only constructing our design to a high standard but are also capable of overcoming any
issues or problems you come across during construction. You also prove to us that you are capable of
constructing our design with a minimal risk of injuring yourself and those around you since you know which
aspects of construction can lead to potential hazards if not completed carefully. This will reduce the risk of a
reduced mark due to any problems or mistakes that you face, but more importantly the risk of injuring
yourself or the people around you. The questions we will ask you may include the following:
Which part of the construction of our rover do you believe is going to be most challenging and why?
Which part of the construction of our rover do you believe is going to be the simplest task and why?
Which part of the construction of our rover poses the greatest risk to the safety of yourself and
those around you and why?
How would you ensure no warping of the 3D printed parts of our rover?

3 Photographic proof of your entire contracting
team wearing Face Masks
7 Proof that at least on contractor has completed of a nationally recognised first aid course
within the last two years

Safety comes first at Interstellar Solutions. The safety of you, as the contractors must be maintained, and all
practises that put you or other individuals in danger must be avoided at all costs. By meeting all the above
criteria, you display evidence that you are less likely to injure yourself during construction and that you can
come to the aid of another group member who has been injured during construction. You as constructors
are expected to use all the personal protection equipment above when constructing our design.

6 Risk Management Plan

6.1 Introduction

We acknowledge that with this project there are hazards and risks unique to each stage from design through
to testing that need to be proactively addressed and mitigated. This document addresses the main hazards
and risks for each of the design, construction and testing stages. These hazards and risks will be assessed and
the appropriate mitigation will be implemented to reduce these risks. These mitigations will reduce the
likelihood of an issue arising and therefore will improve the efficiency within the group and increase the
quality of the final product. Those in charge of insuring the mitigations are implemented are stated in the
document as well as a review of the residual risk.

6.2 Stage 1: Design

During the design phase, there are several issues that could arise if the appropriate measures arent taken to
reduce the risk of certain hazards that could arise amongst the design team.

6.3 Stage 2: Construction

This stage focuses on the possible hazards involved in the construction of the rover. It assesses the possible
hazards that the construction team will be faced with and the risks that are a result of these hazards. The
hazards in this stage of the document will be addressed in the tender document to reduce the likelihood of
these risks occurring as well as other mitigations to further ensure everything goes to plan.

times the likelihood of injury occurring is marks for their efforts so this outcome is system and therefore do not
very minimal. Power tools are made highly unlikely properly inform the Interstellar

malfunction is highly unlikely
Residual Risk Evaluation:
This system reduces the risk of any issues
brought about by miscommunication
hence saving time and resources
therefore communication issues will be
unlikely

6.4 Stage 3: Testing

This stage addresses the hazards that will be encountered by the company when subjecting the rover to the
test terrain. Measures need to be taken to make sure the test goes to plan.

Table 11: Testing Hazards and Risks

Hazard 1: Hazard 2: Hazard 3:
Poorly made rover Person responsible for bringing the People or belongings in close proximity
rover to the testing day forgets or of the testing site
Risk: becomes too sick to come
Rover falls off track or sustains large Risk:
amount of damage as a result of the 1m Risk: It is possible for the rover to collide with
drop. Damage to company integrity as Rover isnt tested and company gets 0 someone and cause harm or collide with
