Project Objective: This project is focused on expanding my knowledge and practical skills in electromagnetic motors. By constructing a brushless motor entirely from parts 3D printed on a standard FDM printer. This endeavor is made possible by being a recipient of the Sears-Thinkbox project fund.

Progress and Development: Successfully printed all motor components, experimenting with various filaments including PETG, ABS, and iron-infused PLA. Dedicated significant effort to calibrating printers to achieve reliable and consistent prints across different materials, which involved extensive testing and trial runs.

Next Steps: The immediate next steps involve winding the stator coils, which are crucial for generating the magnetic fields needed for motor operation. Following this, I will integrate the stator with an electronic speed controller (ESC) to manage the motor's speed and performance.

Final Goals: The project aims to test and optimize different turbine blade designs to better my understanding in that area. This involves evaluating how various blade configurations impact the motor's functionality and identifying the most effective design.
