geek speaks: school getting interestingly fun!

The best part about school is it sucks! It was tiring, it made you cry and felt like dying. Other than those sucking times, it is actually fun! Haha #exam sucks! and #friendsconflictsucks. Haha!
Anyway, last 2 weeks as a students are among my best moments.
They are the best because I have coolest classmates with me!<--ayat membodek tanpa sebab!

After the long overdue, I finally proceed with my project. I tested my prosthesis on my patient! Yay! Picture below shows Ms D. is stepping using the prosthesis I made for her. Yahoo. It felt warm to see someone is able to step because of something you made for her! I made it possible!*Although the truth is, the socket is a bit small and tight = no good =.=! 
Last semester, I already made a transtibial socket, but didn't get to assemble and try it on patient because I was late :'(. So this time I am very happy to see a full assembled prosthesis, although the size no longer fit (as the patient casted more than one month ago. The size probably changed)
 Other pictures are me-trying-to-look-like-working-hard-in-lab and Sar in dynamic hand orthosis.

And last Friday, I finally see my RP! sob sob after the sweat and tears of figuring IronCAD out. It was a tearful moment to see my RP, beautiful!
Read: RP stands for Rapid Prototype.

To make these, I gotta design the Orthotic drop lock using IronCAD, component by component (there's 6 components in total), and send it to my tutor, whom will proceed with 3D printing. I was extremely happy that my project was printed in both powder and plastic version. All the dimensions are right; that it can be assembled.

Next week will be my last week for 4th semester. Time flies!
p/s: school refers to uni, just because using school made me feel a lot younger.lol.
