Sparkmark is a module project focused on redesigning a spark lighter while considering internal components and its overall form. The design incorporates design guidelines for 3D printing, specifically in creating bosses, ribs, and supports.

The main objective of Sparkmark is to create a spark lighter that can stand upright when not in use, while still functioning as a normal spark lighter when the trigger is pressed.

The challenges faced in the design process was achieving the proper balance for the casing to enable it to stand upright. This involved counterbalancing the weight of standard parts such as the conductor coil, trigger, and the spark generator. Designing the ribs and bosses were also a challenge, ensuring proper tolerance for the screws to secure the product while allowing the trigger to move freely and function as intended.

Throughout the project, I learned how to use a 3D printer, which provided an opportunity to identify any mistakes made in the CAD software through assembling the components physically. It was an interesting and educational experience nonetheless.
