I do remember the basics of Rhino but do I remember ALL of the basics? Nope. The idea behind my castle was an eye. First thing I did was drawing a shape of an eye using "Control Point Curve" and extruded it to which it became the outer wall of the castle. I wanted to make this outer wall thicker but I don't remember how and I wasn't in the Wednesday help time. This castle has 3 walls... ...unnecessary walls. For the inner wall, I used "Torus" in order for the wall to have density. I wasn't really thinking about this and I could've used "Circle", extruded the curve and then un-"capped" it so it would look more like a wall like what I did with the actual castle. But people make mistakes and I just realized it while I'm making this blog. This inner wall has a parabola-ish shaped gate. I used the "Cube" then "Fillet" the edges and used "Cylinders" to complete the look. Now, for...
For the last class, we printed using a Ceramic 3D printer. I was pretty amazed at how fast it was however when you make a design, you really need to think about the possibility of your form to collapse. So Sara, one of my team mates, had to re design our concept. Going to the printer, I didn't even realize that it would be inside the ceramic studio. I used to have a class there and I never saw it. There were also printed forms in there made by other students. Here is the hyperlapse printing of our concept! I can't believe I totally forgot to post my final blog post for this class. It was really fun and with this class I decided to minor in Object Design and Fabrication. Creating a design can take hours, days, weeks, and can be frustrating but once you get the design printed and there's no problems, it makes you feel accomplished. I learned that in order to to make your design work, critiques are important and asking for help is also valuable. Being ...
On March 27, 2019, I printed my very first 3D design. I was stoked! My design went through the software and programs without any problems however most of my colleagues had to troubleshoot with Greg to see how to fix it. The only design that did not go through was Angie's. The first try went crazy but she kept what was printed and i helped her clean it up so she can use it as a little coaster. The 2nd printing went well at first but then all of a sudden it also went crazy. Hopefully she will be able to print her form next week. While my colleagues and I were waiting for our projects to be done, we had a little chit chat and I was able to connect with them. I learned a few things about them, similarities and differences. This activity definitely helped me with my social skills. Anyway, here are a couple of videos and a photo of the 3D printers working! Finished! Now, for the hybrid collaboration, my group mates are Tully and Shannon. These are the forms I worke...
