The Fabrication The design part went well, but not for the fabrication part. With the fabrication file ready I went down to the makerspace for the final project printing. With the help of two monitors in the makerspace, they basically prepared everything for me. STL file insert, final check, the machine starts working, and I…

Preparation Before The Printing In the last design post, I described the idea behind my surreal human head. To actually make it happen in the 3D printer, there are some extra work I need to do. According to the mechanism of how the 3D printer works, if I just let it print like this, the…

PART 1 | CONCEPT AND ITERATION This is a sculpture which contains different elements in each block. For this project, the goal is to create different elements and models, combine them in a unique way. After the combination, the shape will reflect to a negative way, graved into a box. In the wiki page, there…

PART 1 | CONCEPT AND ITERATION For this project, we were introduced into another world by Alice looking through the glass. Introduction of Looking Through Glass In that world, everything seems like what we seen before, but looks very strange as well. Something like a fever dream. For example, the field we usually see becomes…

4.2.1 Modeling implied motion In this part the wiki introduce four types of model by using the preset function inside the Fusion 360. Extrude The first one is Extrude, this is a basic function that can be used on a lot of model making. By creating a base shape, and extrude it, that face will have…

My Carboard Headphone Making the slicer file of this headphone is not easy at all, because of the algorism behind the slicer is faulty. It will not recognize any 3D model with negative space. This is what it look like when I place dowel holes: There is always some pieces cannot be registered, even the…

1.4.2 Vinyl Fabrication After a long time of preparation, I can fabricate the actual stickers, But before I put it into the Vinyl cutter, I need to align them into fabricate ready file: Then I can get different scales of my logo. After adjusting the vinyl cutter, it start to work. Vinyl cutter do things…

4.1.1 parallel Universes: CHAPTER 8 — Visual Principles Use Contrast in the art work can create an interesting visual impact to the audience. The Contrast could be between straight and curve, big and small, blur and clear. The example in the wiki page use the contrast between complex and simple: Using directional elements in visuals…

3.2.1 Digitizing and mesh modifications In this section, the steps show us how to clear up faces and smooth the surface of a 3D scan. For my 3D scan, I scanned a Xbox Series X controller. After managed to smooth it out, this is what it looks like: Some part of it is twisted and…

PART 1 | CONCEPT AND ITERATION To successfully create a 3D model. The first thing we need to do is sketch the model on a paper with three dimensional sketch. In the maker space, professor showed us how to correctly draw a shoe on a paper.  By taping a tape on the shoe and make…
