Problem Statement

Current State : In 2017, an RIT MSD team (P18462) developed a 3D printing solution that combined solar energy and battery storage to overcome an unreliable power grid system. Desired State : The key goals of the project are to make improvements on the existing solar-powered 3D printer developed by RIT students. Project Goals : The power management system should be made more efficient and robust. Switching between solar and grid power should be seamless and the printer should fail gracefully when power cuts out. Constraints : The printer should be easy to package, assemble, disassemble and transport. The resulting solution should be sustainable with easily obtained materials.

Future Risk

Technical Risks:

○ Failure to integrate power management system ○ Faulty integration of pellet extruder

Resource-related Risks:

○ System components/parts not available for purchase in Colombia ○ Lack of sunlight

Safety Risks:

○ Toxic fumes from melting plastic ○ Electrocution

Environmental + Social Risks:

○ Weather change causing damage to printer (e.g. rain) ○ Plastic waste generated from failed print jobs
