Soil Feeding Mechanism
Soil Feeding Mechanism
This soil feeding mechanism consists of a vibrating sieve and a sized-well system. The vibrating sieve separates soft soil from hard particles, discarding the unwanted material. The filtered soft soil is then directed to the sized-well system, where the desired quantity of soil is precisely measured and controlled for testing.

My role:
I designed and fabricated the acrylic electronic enclosure for the rover, along with a dedicated maintenance box. The goal in this iteration was to improve durability, minimize assembly gaps, and enhance accessibility.
For the maintenance box, I laser-cut and bent thin aluminum sheet and reinforced with 3D-printed corner brackets. This combination of metalworking and additive manufacturing minimizes gaps in each corner, marking a clear improvement from the previous design.
For the electronic enclosure, I laser-cut the acrylic panels and integrated custom 3D-printed handlebars to enhance user experience. A quarter-turn locking mechanism is installed to provide quick access during maintenance.
