n the past two days, we managed to 3d print the final design given to us by the Spanish team, and made some improvements according to the actual use scene. I finished the editing of the shooting and the final video presentation in one day today, and it is very successful. Thanks to the work of your guys in these two months, this gift can be realized! The 2024 Global Studio/Team 03_哔哩哔哩_bilibili The final two panels still need some time, and we plan to finish them in the next two days so that we can meet the presentation on November 27th. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hello everyone, it's me again, Hao Tong Zhao. Our team leader might have had some issues communicating about our current progress this morning due to meetings and other reasons. I will try my best to explain the reasons and update you on our current work progress. Please note that this article is a re-citation based on (https://theglobalstudio.eu/2024-03/2024/11/22/translation-regarding-the-weekly-work-report/) and an explanation of (https://theglobalstudio.eu/2024-07/2024/11/22/359/). If you have any questions or need to make changes, please contact Qi Hao Yong or Hao Tong Zhao immediately! As we posted earlier, we have made modifications to the first version of our Spanish designer's plan, simplifying its structure while making it more suitable for the usage habits of Chinese elderly people.At the same time, we also printed it out using our own 3D printer. ¡Gracias a nuestros amigos españoles! The latest printing progress: this form is only for structural reliability, not the final form. We are on a tight schedule, and it seems we need to submit the final form of the report by November 27th. There might be times when we are not reachable, but we promise to respond immediately once we see your messages! Warm regards, from Hao Tong Zhao.

GUYS！We understand the meaning of your product description, but some details are not quite consistent with the actual use of Chinese elderly people. As I said before, there is basically no open kitchen in Chinese kitchens, so the storage products can only be used in this direction facing the elderly, that is, the area of half of a circle. Second, the actual capacity of this product is a little too much, and we have to consider how long these spices can be kept in the dry condition, so the capacity of these storage modules will not be too large in the end. Third, we usually pick up spices on a plate or bowl, but in fact, the spices of this product under the export will not flow out, which is a big problem. We have improved the details on the basis of your product. I know this is a bit presumptuous, but time is of the essence. We can't delay.

Hello Team 03, In this post, we want to provide you with the most detailed information about the refined design. Fig. 1: General sketch This idea is is made of plastic and is structured by 3 different main components. Start by the base; as we can see, it is a cylinder with a vertical stick extruded from its center. This base is designed so that the user can hold that part and rotate the entire object from this point so the user is able to access all the spices. The stick that sticks out of this base has a “male-female” mechanism so that it can be joined with the next piece. The piece that follows is made of transparent plastic and is shaped like a prism but ends in a point (in the center of the base), from this piece stands out the dispenser that we have previously explained how it worked. Above this last part we have a dome that makes it easy to open and close to fill the spices, also made of transparent plastic. Fig 2: Perpective view with materials In Fig. 2, the design can be observed in greater detail and from a broader perspective. The dimensions are shown in Fig. 1: the base is a cylinder with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 100 mm. The rod extending from the base measures 150 mm in total. Additionally, the top diameter of the product measures 200 mm. These dimensions serve as a guideline for your physical product, and you can modify and adapt them as you see fit. Regarding the materials, they are detailed in Fig. 2. Both the base and the rod, as well as the handle and the dispensing mechanism, are made of opaque plastic. However, the dome and the separators are made of transparent plastic. Fig. 3: Detailed view of the male-female mechanism In Fig. 3, the joining mechanism between the rod and the separator is shown in detail. This mechanism is called the "male-female mechanism," and in our design, the rod represents the male component, as it features a triangular protrusion that fits into the separator's corresponding part. Fig. 4: View of the separator showing the dispenser. In Fig. 4, we see the separator and the dispenser mechanism from a perspective view. This figure is not to scale, so the connection part with the base rod appears much larger than it actually is. Fig. 5: Detailed view of the dispenser. In Fig. 5, a detailed view of the dispenser mechanism is shown. The mechanism is designed such that the horizontal cylinder is embedded into the part where the spices are stored. Inside the mechanism, there is an "L"-shaped piece. When pressed downward to access the spices, the inner part moves upward, opening the hole from which the spices are dispensed. Addressing your question regarding grain size, we believe it’s best for you to determine what works best for your design. From our perspective, this mechanism could accommodate different sizes, allowing…

Through this post, we would like to share the progress made over the past few days. Following the feedback received from Group 3, we have further refined the sketch of the selected design. The chosen design focuses on reducing the number of containers commonly found in kitchens. Moreover, recognizing that the target users are older adults, we have prioritized creating a product with a more accessible and user-friendly opening mechanism. With the design adjustments finalized, we have commenced the development phase, which involves creating a 3D model of the product. Below, we present an update on the ongoing progress. While the product is not yet complete, we aim to provide an overview of the process. The accompanying images illustrate the assembly of the product by components, offering insight into its development stages. We are committed to delivering a practical and thoughtfully designed solution and look forward to sharing further updates as we continue to refine and complete this project.

Hello! We have answered the supplementary instructions about spices, do you have a new solution? We can discuss it. In terms of the product, we have a 3d printer, so we will try to print the product tonight and we can start shooting the product tomorrow. Our video mainly consists of two parts, one is computer rendered animation (just like CG animation) to demonstrate the details and materials of your product, and then we will use the 3d printed model for real scene shooting, explaining how the old people use it, the length is about two to three minutes. Look forward to your replying. Yours,Qihao.

On November 14th, Groups 3 and 7 connected with the goal of providing feedback on our designs. We organized a video call through Google Meet, which allowed us to communicate across China, Mexico, and Spain. From our side, the call went very smoothly, and Group 3 was very friendly and kind. During the call, we discussed which designs each group should focus on improving. We recommended that they continue with Idea 6 and provided some feedback, which we also shared in writing on the platform on November 15th. We hope our suggestions were helpful, and we mentioned that they can reach out to us with any questions, either through the platform or via WhatsApp. Group 3 chose Emma’s second proposal. They also provided us with feedback on improvements we should make to the product. We will get to work on these suggestions in order to enhance the project. We would like to sincerely thank Group 3 for their help and commitment throughout this process. Their collaboration has been very valuable, and we truly appreciate their effort and support.

Chinese people like to fry or fry food, so they rarely use open kitchens, which leads to a small kitchen area. I think this product solves different storage methods for dry spices. But one problem is that dry spices are different in size, so one outlet may be too big or too small for another. Do you mean make six outlets of different sizes? So utilization might be low. My idea is to make it one big outlet and one small outlet. What do you think?

Today, November 14, 2023, we have organized a meeting with Group 3 to receive feedback on the designs created by each group. From the beginning, we agreed to meet on November 14 at 10:30 pm (Spanish time), taking into account the time differences between our teams. Group 3 is based in China, while in Group 7, one member resides in Mexico and the other two in Spain. We ultimately held the video call at 10:45 pm Spanish time, which is fairly late for our group, while for Group 3, it was 5:00 am. We would like to sincerely thank Group 3 for making the effort to join at such an early hour to collaborate. The goal of this meeting is to conduct a video call through the Meet application to exchange feedback on the current designs. We, as Group 7, took on the task of organizing the video call and selected Meet as the most suitable platform to facilitate the session and ensure that the process is as clear and productive as possible for everyone involved. Following the videoconference, we will work on implementing the suggested updates to the designs.

Hello, first of all I wanted to apologize for the delay, I am going to present my different concepts. FIRST SKETCH Fig. 1: Sketch 1 This concept is a spice dispenser. It is made using a metal sheet and we have two formats: the base, and on top of it, more are stacked on top as we can see in the figure above. As we see in figure 1, each piece has a part that extrudes at the bottom so that it can engage with the upper part of another piece. The shape that it has is designed to make it easy to fill the dispenser with spices and so that it has a small inertia and this makes the spice come out without a problem. The spices are filled through the top lid that slides along rails. The lid slides until it reaches the horizontal area of ​​the object. The dispenser mechanism is inspired by the water bottles seen on the right of figure 1. It is a very simple mechanism that works this way: it is closed all the time, but if we press down on the part that comes out from the piece, this piece is attached to another part inside in such a way that at the same time it would rise and could let out the amount that the user desires.It is an option that for adults has no complications in operation. SECOND SKETCH Fig 2: Sketch 2 This idea is more focused on aesthetic design rather than functional design. It is made of plastic and is structured by 3 different main components. We start at the base; as we can see, it is a cylinder with a vertical stick extruded from its center. This base is designed so that the user can hold that part and rotate the entire object from this point so the user is able to access all the spices. The stick that sticks out of this base has a "male-female" mechanism so that it can be joined with the next piece. The piece that follows is made of transparent plastic and is shaped like a prism but ends in a point (in the center of the base), from this piece stands out the dispenser that we have previously explained how it worked. Above this last part we have a dome that makes it easy to open and close to fill the spices, also made of transparent plastic. THIRD SKECTH Fig 3: Sketch 3 In this last design we can see a "set of boxes" that are made of metal sheets. This object is created by three different sizes of boxes and they are interconnected with rails. How it works is, we have a lid that, through small hinges, is raised up to 90º as we can see in figure 3. We can see that at the height of the lid, we have a part that holds a spoon with which the user will ration. the amount of spices you want.…
