 Posted on July 25, 2019  (Last modified on October 31, 2019)  |  2 minutes  |  Chase Sawyer

New app in progress! Hopefully it won't take months to complete. Should be pretty simple. Especially since this app is going to be primarily for me - and I'm not going to worry too too much about the UI elements. Thinking this is going to be primarily a django based app with templates and model-based views like the keys app. Current State: Developing database models Purpose Provide myself and whoever wants it a place to track their car maintenance, and to make sure that they know when the next scheduled service for a particular maintenance item is due.

The Keys App was my first major project that sought to solve a problem with managing key checkouts without requiring a cumbersome customer database / sign up form. This would target an institution that mostly catered to internal customers, such as a university's AV department and it's instructors. It largely replicates a paper-form-based system, with an added layer of data validation and control (emails, phone numbers must be in a valid format; keys can only be returned by their original owners; keys can't be checked out twice; etc. [Read More]

Dust Collector - UW

 Posted on March 10, 2017  (Last modified on May 11, 2018)  |  2 minutes  |  Chase Sawyer

We have a hammer drill that has a vacuum collector attachment, and we wanted a collector that could use different kinds of filters. I took the existing dust collector and designed an exact replacement that would take any kind of 3M respirator filter as the filter element. This allows using different kinds of filters and for the filters to be replaced. The parts involved were manually reverse-engineered on paper with the device and a set of good digital calipers. The replacement parts were designed in Autodesk Fusion360 and 3D printed on a Prusa i3 MK2.
