Here I have finished the alt Nevelson project. It was a very cool project. I had learned about gcode and how that is used in order for the CNC router to execute the job. It is a really neat process and I encourage everyone to go check it out! Sadly i do not have a picture of the final project but I do have a picture of the CNC router cutting into the foam of my final project! The final fabrication looks exactly like the picture above but it is cut into a piece of foam as you will see in the picture link here –> https://psu.box.com/s/57piadti5tiebrtwisu4zqrjxdv8zc66
AltNevelson Final
This was the final look of my AltNevelson Project! It, in my opinion, was the easiest one to create out of all of the projects we hade made. Due to my prior use of Autodesk in High School. This project was a breeze to create and was a lot of fun to just create a random marble-like puzzle!
TopoTransform Fabrication
The fabrication of my top hat was very cool! The laser was cutting out these pieces on a piece of cardboard piece by piece in which it had needed to be put together! every single line of cardboard is its own unique piece. I had alot of fun putting the cardboard pieces together! It felt like I was building a puzzle that I had created!
Looking Glass Fabrication!
This was so much fun to create. Its crazy to think about creating an object on Autodesk Fusion 360 and a machine creating a real-life copy of it! I was really happy with how the project turned out!
Looking glass final!
Here we have the final before production of the looking glass project. It was a lot of fun to create! Getting to mess around with the hat I had created and the pencil holder that was scanned and combining them into its very own strange object!
Alt Nevelson Iteration
Okay so here we have me starting with the production of creating a model for the project. It is a bit hard to see but basically what was done here was that I had made a 6 inch by 6 inch 2d square and had extruded it out 2 inches to create a 3d cube 6*6*2. If you look closely you will see blue lines as apart of the sketch that I had used in order to create the path for my design. I had scrapped this pattern on my design because the openings I had created were not proportional which was bothering me! I scrapped this design and started from the beginning!
Alt Nevelson concept
For the Alt Nevelson project I had designed this figure shown in the image attached. For the beginning of this project we had spoken as a class to come up with ideas for our projects! Our concept we had decided to create a packman looking project with a twist. We had talked about recreating the ghosts and everything. After looking at the time constraints we had decided to not add too much detail into the project due to time constraints!
Looking Glass Iteration
Okay so here I am showing a picture of my Looking glass final project. But for my iteration I am going to explain to you what I had done to my project as I was working on it! So before I decided to combine the pencil holder with my hat I had at first combined an ugly looking mug wit the hat. It was a neat idea but I personally wasn’t a huge fun of how unclean my mug was. I wanted the object combined with the hat to be as smooth and as clean as the hat was!
Looking Glass Concept!
For my looking glass Project I knew from the start that I was going to want to incorporate my hate that I had created earlier in this semester! For a few of my concept ideas I was trying to find objects that I could incorporate into my hat to make the hat object and even bigger, better object that my second object adds character to the overall picture. For example I was imagining putting and American flag pole through the center of the top part of the hat! then I was thinking that you won’t be able to see much of the character of the American flag and that would be very complex for 3D printing out because as it would cool it would rely on the flag pole to hold the whole flag up as it would be cooling. I then decided to experiment with objects inside of the front of the hat!
TOPOTransform Final!
This project has come to an end! As annoying as the laser had treated our class this assignment was a lot of fun to do! I had learned so much through this project such as playing around with slicer, fusion, and the laser cutter! When cutting out my project its went through the laser flawlessly and I would definatly recommend everyone to try a project like this if possible!
