Project 4 3D Printed Hollow Form Object

Image
Step 1: My first step in the process to create my hollow form object was to create a circle with filleted edges to make it a more rounder shape. This was done by using the star point command and then using the fillet edges command.  Step 2: Next I proceeded to create a pointed edge on the top to make it a dome like figure. I used the rail revolve command to achieve this form. Then, I slightly stretched the object to elongate the form.  Step 3: I think mirrored the object in order to create a hourglass-like figure. This step I also used the Boolean Union command to join these two objects together and then the twist command to create its twist like pattern.  Step 4: Lastly, I used the taper command to taper just around the top to create a vase-like form.  Step 5: This is the final form on the Prusa Sli3er. In terms of the settings, I will use:  a) Spiral Toolpath  b) Single Perimeter  c) No solid layer for both top and bottom  Final Thoughts: From t...

Project 6: The Coat Hook Rough Concept

  Cat Peekaboo Hook          I chose my 2nd concept for my coat hook project. I wanted to keep the whimsical atmosphere with my hook but also be useful for coats/jackets or any item. I did change some aspects when it came to my 3D model. For instance, I only just included the head and it has a pole that extends through the end which is slightly tilted upwards. Plus, it has a knob at the end so that garments do not just slip off (because that is the absolute worst!!). The entire model will be solid and I imagine it being drilled agaist the wall along the four edges of the square.  My Rankings from my previous concepts: 1. Cat Hook  2. Mushrooms  3. Curly Tops  4. Telephone Dial  5. Sun & Moon 6. Abstract Points

Project 8: Laser Cut Vessel

Image
 Cassette Player Vessel In our group, we came up with the idea of a cassette player vessel. We wanted it to be openable and be able to insert cassettes inside and be able to organize them. The front will be the retro cassette player design with a front slot that can store a single cassette. We are still deciding whether or not to add a handle that can go up and down so that it can be portable. As a group, we wanted this vessel to be openable, so there will be a lid that will be attached (somewhat like a book). Overall, we wanted to focus on the retro aspect and make it compact and simple, while being useful to store a variety of cassettes.
