CW May 27: My lamp is fully constructed. Today I put on the bottom plate to hide the wires. I also signed my lamp to signify that it is mine.

HW May 25: I create a few as built joints to keep the lamp together. I think I am done unless I want to add a piece to where the power cord exits.

CW May 25: I screwed in the top metal bar, attached the led strip, sautered the wires, and glued on the base.

HW May 25: I changed the material type to start to complete my lamp. I made the legs wood (bamboo), the lightbulb supports metal (steel), the lightbulb glass and the shade a white fabric.

CW May 20: Not in class due to crew regatta.

HW May 20: I create a shade for my lamp. I want this to be a shade that can come off and on so it is designed the slide over the edges of the lamp. I need to figure out if I can somehow change the material type in fusion so it is somewhat see through as it would be in person.

CW May 17: I assembled my parts with glue. My lamp is almost ready to go, I just need to put in the two screws, insert the electronics, and attach the base.

HW May 17: I designed the inner passage ways for the lamp’s power cord. This was difficult as i had to work with two components to create passageway.

CW May 14: Missed class for sports

HW May 14: I worked on my model. I had to recreate a bridge section, as before it wanted to copy the other. I had some trouble while making the sketch as my dimensions showed up as degrees. I eventually figured it out, and was able to extrude the correct sections. I create a tube for the lightbulb and joined my pieces together.

CW May 13: I printed and sanded my last part of the upper horizontal. I checked that all my pieces fit. I glued on the small metal discs to the lower arms, and screwed in the brackets to lower horizontal.

HW May 13: I started the base of my lamp. Although this design is unusual and I will have to be creative with the shade, I think it will create a better model. I started on the two bridges and made them copies of each other. However, I need to create notches to combine the two pieces. This has led to some trouble as a top section of one bridge needs to be cut while a bottom section of the other needs to be cut. One bridge updates when the other is changed so I am having trouble connecting them.

CW May 10: I glued in the magnets and metal circles on my pieces. I also printed my upper horizontal.

HW May 10: I made a few lamp designs. My favorite is the fist one where the light bulb hangs upside down, supported by two crossed ‘bridges’. I feel like this would be a cool lamp design, but I do not know how I would addd a shade. I am excited to model these, and I hope to make either a unique or multifunctional lamp design.

CW May 6: I modeled the base of a lamp and a lightbulb. I put in the reference drawing as a canvas. I used the rotate tool and modeled the lightbulb with a spline. I needed to adjust the top of the light bulb by clicking on the spline and making sure the line was horizontal this ensured that the top was not spiky or indented.

HW May 6: I attempted to join my hinge with the moving circle on the back of my design. i tried several ways but the design would not join. The non-moving piece of the hinge was not selectable and attaching it via the moving part ruined the hinge’s functionality. I then spent time improving the sketches for power, but I had trouble with extrusion.

CW May 3: I was able to get several reprint pieces using a piece of wood with a classmate’s mistakes. Unfortunately, the laser printer did not cut all the way through. Using an exacto knife and some force I was able to get the pieces out of the wood. I sanded them, although there is some damage from the printing. (ran out of class time to take picture)

Cw April 29: I attempted to put the magnets in my printed pieces, ye they did not fit due to glue. I need to reprint several pieces.

HW April 29: I built a hinge with help from a video tutorial I found. I think this hinge will work, but I need to modify the hinge so it works as a stand. I enabled all contact so the physics of the hinge would work, but I am unsure what that may have done to the rest of the model. I am happy with my hinge, and will hopefully add it my stand next class.

CW April 26: I started the three model of my phone stand. I am using my first concept. I have the basic shape and am working on the back support. I am making this with a rotating circle so the support can be used both vertically and horizontally and with a hinge so the viewing angle can be adjusted. I still need to create the hinge and polish the body of the phone stand.

HW April 26: I sketched 4 designs. My favorite was the first one because it can be used both horizontally and vertically. Concept 1 also has a hole for the charger. Concept 4 seemed the most unique as it was a triangle with an area that juts out to hold the phone. Overall, It was harder to get accurate accurate sketches than I expected.

CW April 22: I finished my drawing. I added color using the appearance command and added the front screen as a decal.

Hw April 22: I added the rest of the buttons and holes. I also made the notch and started the back camera. I am having some trouble with extruding the proper distance.

CW April 19: I finished all of my measurements. In Fusion I filleted the edges and began the bottom side (speakers and plug in).

HW April 19: I began 3D model of phone in Fusion and continued orthographic drawing. I must now figure out the angle of my corners and how to best incorporate the different phone pieces.

CW April 18: I began orthographic drawing of Iphone 13. I need to add more measurements, as I restarted my drawing and was behind.

CW April 15: I finished my LED lamp model. In class I added the circular holes on the lower horizontal, put small metal pieces and screws on the lower horizontal, and added joints.

Hw April 15: I added the base onto the base plate and rotated so the circle for switch matched up with wire cutout in base. I also added the lower metal tube and put in screws. I think I may need to add one more part from gobilda, yet I am unsure of where it goes.

Cw April 12: Put base plate onto lamp by creating joints with large metal disc and vertical base. I then use combine tool to update the base plate and then created new sketch to make an accurate DXF file.

HW April 12: Created base following video steps. Only difference between video was at end I had to project full circle was not letting me project inner circle. However, my extrusion was not affected. Next I believe I will attach the lamp to the base.

CW April 11: Sanded down pieces and glued magnets into upper arm sides. Fixed parts of sketch with joint as is command, and I also fixed the number of circles on lower arm.

HW April 11: I followed the video in order to make the hole and square cutouts on the lower horizontal. I had some trouble with spacing of the squares. and number of circles.

CW April 8: I downloaded parts from gobilda.com including the screws and the metal tube. I inserted them with the joint command into the led lamp. I also removed an extra small metal plate from last night’s homework.
