It has been decided that the electrospinning device will take more of a pen shape rather than that of a gun. This design would eliminate the unnecessary turn in the device which would require complicated circuitry. This way, the components of the device will be placed in a linear fashion along a tube.
A sliding hollow cylinder will be used as the syringe case for easy removal and insertion (Figure 1).
A ring will be used instead of a collector plate to guide the fibers onto any desired surface (Figure 1).
The button of the device should active both the motor (the syringe pump) and the applied voltage at the same time. Some potential button designs are pictured in Figure 2.
