My Project

Our student team is spearheading a groundbreaking initiative to enhance campus safety by developing a sophisticated vape sensor system. After months of dedicated effort, we've achieved significant milestones, including successfully designed and programmed the core sensor technology. Rigorously tested prototypes with real-world vape smoke, achieving accurate detection. We developed a robust system that sends immediate email alerts upon detecting vape usage. We collaborated with our district IT department to seamlessly integrate the sensors into the campus network. The final critical step is to create a robust and discreet enclosure for these vital devices.

To achieve this, we are requesting:

Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 3D Printer: For its high-resolution printing capabilities, essential for intricate and precise case designs.

2 Bottles of Resin: To ensure sufficient material for prototyping and final production.

Wash Bucket: For efficient and safe post-printing resin cleaning.

Resin printing offers unparalleled advantages over traditional PLA:

Superior Durability: Creates cases that can withstand the rigors of a real-world environment.

Exceptional Detail: Enables precise sensor placement and optimal signal reception.

Enhanced Longevity: Ensures long-term performance and minimizes maintenance needs.

This investment in cutting-edge 3D printing technology will empower our team to complete this vital project, creating a safer and healthier learning environment for all students.
