Reverse engineered object: Nigora may be creating, but she has run into a crisis!

 

For this week we are progressing in the creation of our reverse engineered objects. Last class I ended up sick and not attending, this as well as a blend of my other class loads has caused me to delay my progress and I have unfortunately ran into some precarious things! 

Allow me to set the scene! I had started with the inner tea strainer of the water bottle I chose to do for this project and the base was going smoothly. 

First I created circles for the base and the overhang.


Then it was just an extrude for the base


and an extrude for the top. 


With a bit of boolean split and a little rotation


I had the skeleton of the tea strainer ready! 

And so, the problems began! 

I realized something very very anxiety and fear inducing on this endeavor there are a billion holes in this thing! And then I looked at the other components and found that there were parts of it I could not reach with the digital caliper and that I could not take apart from the pieces themselves. 



And so I have not been able to figure out if I should continue with this object or go back and try another one... Wish me luck and many more confused hours! Hopefully I can fix this crisis soon! For now, we just keep on going!

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

Image
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
