Surface Model Week 2 Process

 Surface Model Day 2 Process This week we were tasked to unfold and get our models ready for the laser cutter. As seen in my last weeks model it's pretty straight forward to unfold. I was able to unfold and prepare for the laser cutter in a short amount of time.  Here are the steps I took to unfold and prepare: It was pretty easy to unfold and to make 2D. I was struggling at first of how to unfold because I didn't have a base for my model. My friend suggested to add a base to the bottom and have it all connectedby that. She's an absolute genius and solved my problem.  I wasn't sure if this is new but when you Make 2D it forms a new layer for the object you used  the command for. Maybe it's a Mac OS thing. I'm just getting use to using my laptop for Rhino and when I try to render my objects it crashes. I'm lucky to have my desktop so I can do all the rendering from there. Thank goodness for one-drive so I can access my files cross-platform quickly and easily....

Surface Model Week 1 Process :)

 Surface Model  Going from paper model to Surface Model Here is my paper model and sketches I've done. I decided to revise my original plan once I looked at my other classmates work. I realized that I was way over my head especially since I've never used a water jet cutter before. I figure my original design would exceed the time given to cut out our objects.  The revised version is more simple and suits the project demands more efficiently. Easier to sand, cut and more room to play with things than my original idea. The octagon at the bottom provides stability so I can fold the object in on it's self. Hoping the laser cut goes well.   Insert this Model here Original Model  Just from these screenshots of the original it's very complicated. Perhaps if I was more experienced in using the water jet cutter I could use this. Maybe this is better as a 3d print or resin print.  Revised Model Very simple and more at my skill level especially because I haven't ...

  Object Design 211 We are starting off strong with planar surfaces. So today lets get into what I did!!! Super simple. Nothing to crazy just getting use to Rhino 8 again. It's been a minute hoping to get more complicated soon :)

Final Experimental

 Final Experiment   Our original idea we had was to print on fabric to create designs. We ended up changing our idea, I was in charge of drawing out our character on the CNC machine. A process we are quite familiar with already. I found this time a lot easier and was able to quickly set it up and hit start. Here are the images of what we have done.  Here is the version with working stages of putting together the final piece.  We decided to add more detail by using a 3D pen!!!! Wow it looks so good!!! Final with the added pieces and 3D pen

FDM Printing

FISHERS ARE REAL       For my project I decided to make a fish. He’s pretty cool!!! Some flaws I made were because the layers were too close together which is funny because I thought they were too far apart. After all this class is about experimentation. If I was to do this again I would space out the layers and make it bigger. If it was bigger the lines and spaces would show up more. Note for next time separate the layers. From the pictures you can tell how small of a scale the lil fishers are.

 CONEEEEESSSS!!!!      Today is a big day!!! Finally got to work on the CNC machine. Was so much fun but ran into a few problem. Working on the CNC machine is a lonely task for sure. Being in an in closed space for hours by yourself I felt like I was going mad.       Although the project is fun I realize that I should have separated all my gcode files. For example the fill patterns, each one should have been it’s own separate file to run, to cut down on the time I waited for the file to finish. This will be a 2 day project cause I’ve already been here for almost 4 hours. I spend most of my time waiting for my file to finish drawing.     Day 1 thoughts       The rough draft was a good idea because I got to see where the are flaws in my project. As I wait for the final to finish I’m writing my blog. I have attached videos and pictures of my project. Most of them are for the rough draft. The start was pretty troublesome ...
