Reverse engineered object: Update 1

 

For my first update I decided to tackle the bottom lid and the bottle itself. I was unable to finish the bottle but the bottom lid came to become very polished!

The lid:

The bottom lid has an inner metal cylinder in it that I thought would give me problems, but my caliper fit perfectly into it so I was able to get all the measurements. 




The inner cylinder.


Final without spiral for the twist.

The bottle:

The bottle is tricky for me. So While I was able to create the 3 components of the top small opening, the body and the bottom opening, putting them together was something I couldn't figure out how to do. The bottle has a big curve connecting the top opening and a more subtle one on the bottom. I have no clue where to start to measure or how to create said connecting curves. 



Things I will need to make still:

- the textured rubber
- The top lid
-The rubber band
- the spirals on the inside and outside
- the curves connecting the body of the bottle togeter

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

 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
