Additions - Week Five

This week during lab we continued work on constructing the lid and box. Four pieces of wood were set along its outer edge of the lid. These will serve as a mounting point for the reflective flaps later on.

The Quikrete was set into the box as the insulator. A layer was added to the bottom of the box as well as on all four sides.

We also worked to simplify the design of our adjustable base. The box will be connected to the ground plate by a hinge and the angle will be able to be adjusted by moving a hinged bar that is held in place on the opposite side of the base plate. The bar then attaches to the bottom of the sterilizer using thin divots that hold the bar in place depending on the angle.
