Milestone Projects

Rhino Mashup Renders For this first project, I had a lot of fun generating the concepts and learning the initial basics of tinkercad and rhino 7. For most of my concepts, I went with goofy puns or jokes since I was still getting comfortable with the software, which is where I got the idea for cupcoke since I am a caffeine addict. PaperCraft Objects This is the project I personally had the most trouble with, I started off with a simple crab design since I was having a hard time unfolding the other models I had made. But after seeing some classmate's projects I decided to make a new model from scratch and restart the project with the wrench model I made. Overall I'm very happy with the final result of this project. and I think it's my personal favorite of the class. 3D Printed Objects I had a few troubles with this project as well, my partner and I were really quick to find the concept we wanted to develop but beyond that, we ran into a bunch of problems, we had to go through...

3D Printed Hollow Form Object

Image
 My original 6 concepts didn't have too much direction to them as I was mostly experimenting with array polar and the transform tools. My partner Morgan had a design for a pot that we wanted to work with so instead of directly mashing the objects together instead I wanted to take the more polygonal jagged look of my concepts and smash that look with the smooth pot. I really liked the initial design we made but after running it through prusaslicer a few times it looked like the ridges were too steep to print So after that design failed I made a second cradle but upon putting it into Prusaslicer, the cradle around the pot just disappears, so I have not made any progress past this point.

Papercraft Objects: Final Revision

Image
 After the first prototype of my low poly crab, I decided to restart my concept and make a wrench instead, as it's more of an actual object with personal importance instead of a creature. After the class presented their prototypes I realized my object needed more intricate and detailed shapes, so I used a reference and made the base of the wrench then the two top pieces separately. Once it was time to lay the design flat I had to cut some pieces off and separately glue them on once it was printed. I wanted to add some colour so I used some orange and black cardstock to separate the handle from the clamp on the top. I had a bit of trouble with the small tabs on the bigger piece of the clamp but after reprinting a second revision with bigger tabs it came out much better.

Papercraft Objects: First prototype

Image
 When first started the prototype I had a bit of initial trouble on the first few folds of the smaller cubes so I'm going to increase the size of the eyes and the legs to make the folds and final product look cleaner. Once I had finished folding and gluing the main body I realized my initial design had a flaw on the claw that made it so it couldn't be folded properly as it overlapped on itself. I ran out of time but I will bring the updated folded claws for class.

PaperCraft Objects: Templates

Image
 For my template, I wanted to make a new model as I had gotten more familiar with the tools and my last set of models were either impossible to make or were a bit above my skill level. Once I had made the model I had a really easy time unfolding it and setting up the tabs although so far I am having trouble finding out how to break up the lines to start trimming the tabs. Once I had figured out trimming the tabs I had a really easy time setting everything up as a plane and converting it to a 2D drawing. I don't have a printer that can print onto cardstock so I did a few test prints onto regular printer paper.
