Reverse Engineer object: Selection

For this week we are selecting the objects we plan in reverse engineering and recreating in Rhino 3D! I found myself lost with this selection as it turns out, simple but complex objects were very uncommon in my household. I did however find some I think will workout for this milestone project! 

The first item I found was this paper towel holder:



I found however that this object is too simple for this 3 week project. 

My next choice was this pen:





I did find that measuring it would be hard though due to its small size and tiny parts, like the spring.

For my final object, I chose a water bottle with a tea strainer in it!



This is my choice for this project as the pieces are a comfortable size and it is complex enough due to its shape to be a worth while object to create in Rhino 3D. I think this will also help me to expand on my skills and rendering capabilities within the program as well! 

Wish me luck!

Reverse Engineered object: Final Renders!

Image
The final renders are here! This project was a long one and one where I had many outside factors that made it more challenging then it needed to be. From getting sick to my own program and computer glitching, I am happy to say that the many crises I had were overcome in the end! This water bottle is definitely one I can confidently donate to goodwill now that I have reverse engineered its components and rebuilt it in Rhino!  I still have much to learn and many things I most likely forgot, but this milestone was one well worked for and I am ready to move on to the next one!  Wish me luck!

Mesh Mashup: Concept generation

Remix Culture For this project we were assigned to create 10 concept pieces that uses the ides of "Remix Culture". This is an art style that encourages artists and creators to edit, splice, and combine preexisting ideas, icons, and materials to form something new. In Remix culture, no object is in one permanent state, instead, artists are able to reframe the narrative of whatever medium they are working with (song, artwork, design, object, etc.) into something completely new. This is done through the means of deconstruction, transformation, contrasting, and re-using other media. Remix culture is heavily used within storytelling, Rap music, graffiti, and more. 1. "Foot Stool" https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1269059 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2152828 This first concept came about as a visual pun to me. I had first thought to turn a book into a chair, but then I found the feet and thought of foot stools! I find that books and magazines find their way onto foot...

Chess pieces: Render and 3D print

Image
 Due to my personal health issues and my packed scheduling, I will have to update this post once I finally get to my appointment with a prusa mini! Here are my final renders of my design on a chess board, as well as in a rendered view showing its full form! I chose to go for the smaller size of boxes making the squares on 1.95 inches by 1.95 inches. Whish me luck on the 3D printing, may I or others NOT break a printer! 3D Print
