 Summing up OBDF 310!!!

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 ...

Putting the C in Cone Bro     Was having a hard time thinking of what I wanted to do. After looking through my sketchbook I found this sketch. I admit it's definitely not the best quality. However the cone is fun.  Surprisingly it was super easy to transfer into Rhino, which I definitely didn't expect. This is the final product with the lines. I would like to go back and add more sections to add more lines for shading. The bottom half the sheet needs some love. It is all experimental and I'm experimenting with lines as much as I can. I'm waiting for the solution to come to me. Which is what a good night sleep will do. Solves all my problems, usually.  One problem I ran into was the top part of the cone, I'm not able to apply any lines to it. I grafted it and tried to do it on it's own but it still didn't work. Very odd and strange.  February 13:UPDATE!!!!  Figured it out. The reason the one spot would not have a shade was because it was not closed. Which is...

 First issue was it was pronterface was not installed. We installed it! Success!!!! We really didn't have any problems apart from just getting the printer to connect to the software which was kind of annoying.  Once we got things working it was perfect. The buttons worked and everything. It was smooth sailing from there. I enjoyed watching the it work. I noticed there were a few things that were not very good. Some of the lines didn’t meet up at the end and I got really scared that the pen was going to rip through the paper.  The final product and I actually love it so much. Super cute and cool to watch. I’m interested in seeing what else I can do with this. I want to experiment with it drawing perspective drawings cause drawing by hand takes so much hand to complete final drawings. It’s very precise and specific. 

 Mushroom Creation     I decided to use an old sketch that I've been recently working on. I suppose you could call it a doodle page of cute objects. I was at first going to do it all but I decided as my first time working in grasshopper it was best I took it easier and worked on one of the mushrooms I drew. I decide to use the one mushroom at the bottom.                        I was not able to attend the class where the fill pattern was talked about and demonstrated. Usually from the community notes and videos I find I can figure out generally what it is I am suppose to accomplish. In this case I have no idea what I am suppose to do. I have my work done in Rhino and will figure out how to do the fill pattern soon. Here is my sketch, Rhino file and Grasshopper work. I'm sure there is a better way to be working in grasshopper but I am just starting out. Work in process. By the end of the semester I'm sure I'l...
