Part Fabrication:

The following steps document how the various parts will be fabricated. Each part will be used during the construction phase of the building process. All tools listed above will be used in the fabrication and construction processes. All parts fabricated will be used in the construction process.

Part P1T: Side Walls Top

1. Prepare your materials and tools. The two inch insulation foam (S1), sandpaper (T5), and the scroll saw (T6) will be needed.

2. Trace out a 5”x16”x2” rectangle onto your insulation foam (S1).

3. Cut out rectangle using the scroll saw (T6).

4.  Repeat steps 1-3 until you have two wall segments.

5. Trace out a 5”x12”x2” rectangle onto your insulation foam (S1).

6. Cut out rectangle using the scroll saw (T6).

7. Sand all three rectangles with sandpaper (T5).

Part P1B: Side Walls Bottom

1. Prepare your materials and tools. The two inch insulation foam (S1), sandpaper (T5), and the scroll saw (T6) will be needed.

2. Trace out a 1.5”x16”x2” rectangle onto your insulation foam (S1).

3. Cut out rectangle using the scroll saw (T6).

4.  Repeat steps 1-3 until you have two wall segments.

5. Trace out a 1.5”x12”x2” rectangle onto your insulation foam (S1).

6. Cut out rectangle using the scroll saw (T6).

7. Sand all three rectangles with sandpaper (T5).

Part P3: Ceiling and Floor

1. Prepare your materials and tools. The two inch insulation foam (S1), sandpaper (T5), and the scroll saw (T6) will be needed.

2. Trace out a 16”x16”x2” square onto your insulation foam (S1).

3. Cut out square using the scroll saw (T6).

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two times until you have a base and a roof for the probe.

5. Sand all three rectangles with sandpaper (T5).

Part P4: Middle Divider Floor

1. Prepare your materials and tools. The 1/2 inch insulation foam (S2), sandpaper (T5), and the scroll saw (T6) will be needed.

2. Trace out a 16”x16”x1/2” square onto your insulation foam (S1).

3. Cut out square using the scroll saw (T6).

5. Sand square with sandpaper (T5).

Part P5: Plexi Glass Circle

1. Prepare your materials and tools. The plexi-glass sheet (S5), circular saw (T4), circular sander (T7), drill press (T8), scroll saw (T6), sand paper (T5), and 1/4 inch drill bit (T3) will be needed.

2. Trace a circle with a 9.5 inch diameter onto the plexi-glass sheet (S5).

3. Use the circular saw (T4) to cut an octagon containing the traced circle.

4. Use the scroll saw (T6) to trim the circle.

5. Use the circular sander (T7) to round the edges of the circle.

6. Use sandpaper (T5) to smooth edges of the circle.

7. Using a ¼ inch drill bit (T3) attached to a drill press (T8) drill a hole in the center of the circle.

8. Using a ¼ inch drill bit (T3) attached to a drill press (T8) drill holes 4 inches to the north, south, east, and west of the center hole.

9. Repeat steps 1-8 until you have two plexi-glass circles (P5) with holes.

Construction:

In the following steps the construction process will be detailed. These are the steps when all the pieces will be coming together.

Constructing The Probe Body:

1. Begin with the floor (P3). Place this in the center of your work area.

2. Using gorilla glue (T1) and jb weld (T9) attach the bottom side walls (P1B) to the floor (P3) at 3 of the edges.

3. Take the middle divider floor (P4) and align that with the bottom floor (P3).  Using gorilla glue (T1) and jb weld (T9) attach the bottom side walls (P1B) to the middle divider floor (P4).

4. Take top level walls (P1T) and align those with the bottom side walls (P1B).  Using gorilla glue (T1) and jb weld (T9) attach the top side walls (P1T) to the middle divider floor (P4).

5. Take the ceiling floor (P3) and align that with the top level walls (P1T).  Using gorilla glue (T1) and jb weld (T9) attach the top side walls (P1T) to the top level floor (P3).

6. Allow probe body to dry.

7. Align plexi glass circle (P5) with middle of probe body.

8. Using hand drill (T2) and ¼” bit (T3), drill holes through the ceiling of the probe body aligned with the holes in the plexiglass sheet.

9. Insert eye screw (S6) through center hole of plexiglass and foam, and bolts (S3) through the four other holes.

10. Place the other piece of plexiglass into the inside of probe and attached to all bolts (S3). Screw on nuts (S4) to secure plexi-glass sheets.
