Abstract

This study aims to design and fabricate a speedometer cover for Yamaha Aerox and N-Max 155 motorcycles using 3D printing technology, guided by the House of Quality (HOQ) framework. The increasing consumer demand for motorcycle accessories motivated this research. A structured design process was implemented, beginning with a consumer needs analysis conducted through questionnaires and surveys to identify user expectations. These needs were systematically translated into technical requirements using the HOQ method. The design stage utilized 3D CAD modeling and 3D scanning to ensure accurate fitting to the speedometer unit, followed by prototyping using fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing. The final prototype exhibited key consumer-desired attributes such as heat resistance, structural durability, and a secure fit. Results indicate that integrating the HOQ approach with digital fabrication methods effectively aligns product design with user expectations. This study demonstrates the potential for further development of customizable motorcycle accessories using a consumer-driven and technology-supported design process.

Abstract

The growing global demand for energy highlights the limitations of fossil fuel resources. This makes innovation in alternative energy development crucial, and one promising avenue is the use of vegetable oils like kapok oil. Kapok oil has a complex chemical composition, composed of various triglycerides of fatty acids and glycerol, where each fatty acid component contributes unique combustion characteristics. The interaction of the complexity of this content as a whole affects the flame pattern of kapok oil. Furthermore, the air-fuel mixture ratio (AFR) plays a significant role in determining the characteristics of the resulting flame. Therefore, this study aims to explore in depth the effect of AFR variations on the combustion characteristics of kapok oil. Experiments were conducted by burning a mixture of kapok oil vapor and air on a burner with controlled AFR settings. The results showed that the variation of AFR significantly changed the flame height and morphology. Flame height initially increased with increasing AFR (from 1.34 cm at AFR 0.143:1 to 4.429 cm at AFR 1.526:1) before decreasing (to 0.264 cm at AFR 4.011:1) until it reached the lift-off condition and went out.
