Science To Do List:

Initial CAD

Improve CAD

Replace metal sheets with something more structurally sound

Weight optimization of the carousel

Better turntable bearings?

Better interface with the general frame

Motor Finalization

Test tube attachments

3D printed deflector

Copper Gasket + Bellow for airtight seal

Fan Selection

Fan Enclosure

Interface with the frame

Filter selection to prevent blade degradation

Pipe selection (PEX A vs PEX B vs PVC)

Pipe Fittings (SharkBite, cement, clamp)

Fittings to connect between different types of pipe

Fittings for connecting one pipe to three separate ones

Fittings for pipe-test tube interface (prob. have to be a custom one)

Flange fitting to connect to the sample head

Nozzle selection to increase sand speed
