this is my (basically) completed lamp. The top has been completely glued and the hinges now work. While the top initially was too heavy and bending (because it was cardboard), it now works well because it was changed to a stronger material (wood).Updates: The lamp has started to be physically constructed. The base has been glued together and the 3D printed hinge element has been adhered Above are two angles of my initial lamp prototype, which is able to clasp onto the table at the bottom and has an adjustable baseThis is my completed light bulb. I found that I did not run into many difficulties making this piece, however I did think that it was interesting how we imported the image of the sketch and kind of based its creation off of that
Above are my four sketches for this project, which I tried to draw based on the videos we watched that describe the sketching process. I tried to make all the designs functional by giving them either adjustable pieces, useful compartments, or having them take up the least amount of space while still proving lightAfter searching online, I decided that this would be the lamp that I am going to model my project on. I love the sleek design and how functional it seems with its many adjustment settings.
Above is my completed iPhone stand. The two lower images show the initial design of the stand, which had a movable backboard to allow the user to change the angle of their phone and small holes in the back to store objects like pencils. The chord would have fed through the hollow bottom part. At the top is my actual design, which I thought of last minute, but like better. This one was designed to fit inside of a cup holder and have a removable lid, so you can still store stuff inside.

April 22 (HW): Above are my four sketches for my ideas for my cell phone stand. Using the techniques from the videos, I tried to draw them in a less “sketchy” and “cleaner” way by using quickly drawn lines and drawing in perspective. I also bolded the lines in which you cannot see the other side that it touches, as demonstrated by the video on line weight.
April 20 (HW): From the video, I learned about the importance of trial and error, as well as how innovation can be accelerated through these steps. In this segment, we learn that the first prototype of the google glasses did not take years, as one might assume, but rather came about in a single day. The model built during this process also did not consist of high-tech or sophisticated materials, as Chi used household items such as hair ties and chopsticks to represent his ideas and translate his thoughts to a tangible mock-up. This allows creators to quickly construct a framework for their project and rapidly begin to make progress on their design. Thus, we can translate it to our own design challenge by using this method to create physical representations of our concepts cheaply and efficiently.
April 17 (HW): Above is the orthographic drawing of my phone. Following the video, I drew my phone, a three dimensional object, using two dimensional drawings of each of its sides. These sides are labeled with dimensions that I took from measuring various aspects of my phone.April (Classwork): this is my completed laptop stand. Overall, I did not have much trouble completing this assignment, but I found that the most difficult part was creating the dog-bone cut-outs due to their odd shape. April 13 (HW): I found the clip on CNC machining quite interesting! The image above shows my completed MAD tutorial #7, which I made without running into any trouble. Luckily, I remembered to switch my units to centimeters this time and was able to create this model easily. April 10 (HW): This assignment was quite interesting and fun to complete! The only trouble I had while attempting this design had to do with the units of measurement I was using. Initially, the units were set to millimeters (the default) and I forgot to change them to centimeters. I got about halfway through the project before I noticed and had to restart. Other than this, I was effectively able to create the model and the working joints.April 8 (HW): I enjoyed watching the clip regarding 3D printing and how it works! This bottle opener was harder to make than the previous two and I struggled while trying to create the curves in it. I had a bit of difficulty with the measurements, however it ultimately seems to have turned out okay. Despite this, creating this one opener took up the entirety of the allotted homework time and I could not complete the second assigned exercise.April 6 (HW): This bottle opener was difficult to construct at first because I had difficultly creating the triangle shape that it needed, however, after some trial and error, I was able to sufficiently complete the assignmentApril 1 (Classwork): Completed the draft of bottle opener 5. This was a success and had no significant problems when being constructed.
