Attempt 3

• After several tries thankfully Mr. Brodie emailed us with instructions so I was able to successfully create bottle opener 6.

Below is how I started to create the bottle opener.

1. the first image I drew a horizontal line of 83.5 cm.
2. From there as shown in the image to the right I went to the constraints menu and made the midpoint of the line be the origin. Then drew a vertical line of 26.521 cm
3. I then created another vertical line on the other side which as 9 cm, and a horizontal line of 50.76495
4. Finally I connected the lines

---

Here I connected the lines.

Finally I extruded the image to 1 cm

Today in class I worked on bottle opener 3 which I struggled with slightly

1. These images reveal the steps I went to the create the bottle opener. In image one I created two circles one on the origin and another on the same line as the origin. Found the radius and diameter of the circles and used the 3 point arc tool to create the first arc connecting the two circles. From there I created a circle almost halfway between the other circles although I was not sure if this was a correct step or not.
2. In the second image I found the distance between the circles as well as the radius of the arc
3. Next image I created a construction line for the inner arc and tried to figure out how to create the slanted line I created construction lines with the width and length to help me achieve this step
4. Lastly I used the cutting tool to rid of all the unnecessary lines.

These r the final two images I filled in the bottle opener and then extruded the image to 1 cm.

Today I attempted to create Bottle Opener 4 this one felt easier to navigate than bottle opener 3 although in some areas I still struggled

These images reveal the steps I took to achieve bottle opener 4. I was not sure what exact steps to take

1. The first image I drew a circle on the origin and then drew a line which was 20 cm in length
2. From there I drew a circle 15.7 cm away from the first line which has a radius of 5.5 and I also drew another line from the top of the first line to the line which was 15.5 cm.
3. Lastly I connected the top line touching the circle to the circle on the origin and drew construction lines on the first vertical line then used the fillet tool to create a curve like the curve on the bottle opener.

Finally I filled the construction line and cut out all the elements that were not necessary . Below is my final result

I may have had a bumpy start but as of today April 9th I have successfully completed the Mad Exercise #2.

On the 8th I had difficulty not in the first component but in the second component

Although both of these images look correct I had trouble in the first image initially and properly reflecting the vertical and horizontal lines across the horizontal line which I later found out was a result of the line on the origin not being properly centered.

In the second image it is visible I made progress and corrected my mistake but only the center rectangle was able to be extruded which was extremely frustrating and I even sought help from Mia to see if she knew the resolution to my problem. I came to the conclusion that the lines were blue not black therefore not proper format to extrude as well as something was wrong yet I could not pinpoint it. Eventually from a ton of frustration I decided to start over completely. I stilled saved my past design but I was ready to start a new.

4/9/21

Earlier today around 8 ish I decided to start over this time following the video to see what steps I possibly missed which caused the issue.

Eventually I discovered after all my tributes and tribulations the issue came from my outer and inner center arcs I was not creating them correctly therefore altering the ability to extrude the second component.

Once I created my second component the last component felt like a breeze. I was throughly impressed with my determination because at many points I wanted to give up. I never knew I could make something which appears to be so intricate.

I am really proud of my ability to create three separate components which all work collectively as well as separately. Below is my masterpiece!

My Christmas Slider

I chose to create a red and green slider to showcase my love for Christmas and also bring out my enthusiasm for creating the project successfully.

Today for homework I completed the Max Exercise #7 while I thought this task was going to be easy for some reason I struggled with the initial first step of going on the right plane.

First Attempt:

I thought I was following all the necessary steps until I started to extrude my shape in which when I wanted my figure to look like this as seen down below,

In reality my figure looked like this!

Attempt 2:

For my second attempt I made sure to do all of the same things except this time choose the correct plane

Although….. this time I chose the wrong plane again and therefore my image looked like this,

Attempt 3:

Finally, after 3 attempts I was able to successfully created my structure

Although, once I got to the step where we needed to use the chamfer tool the measurement did not look the exact same as the video and the sketch at a distance of 30 cm so I did 34.7 I believe for the distance, and I colored it peach metallic as I thought it was a nicer happier color then the gray.

Today for our homework I was tasked with creating a full-scale orthographic drawing of my cell phone. I think through making the sketches I was more able to understand the amount of depth that goes into creating the cellphones by not only making them visually appealing but also functional.

4/16/21

Today I attempted to create a model of my iPhone. Since I have an iPhone X I thought it would be useful if I could use a template which has the accurate set of dimensions in millimeters.

After loading that into the software from there I went through a process of steps like first creating the base of the phone, then rounding the sides, then creating the camera frame, then the camera, than the top camera.

A lottttt of elements go into creating the basic parts of the phone, more then I thought. Overall, I was very happy with the result.

4/17/21

Today in class we finished up our phone models I struggled a bit with extruding but otherwise I got all the buttons and camera on the phone.

Above are the two sides and blow are the front and back sides

For homework I watched the TED-ED called Rapid prototyping Google Glass by Tom Chi. His job as apart of google he worked on self driving cars, google glasses, etc. Although I expected it to take more than 1 day to create the prototype I was surprised it only took a day. I usually spend too much time perfecting my work therefore I should follow step one. 1. Find the quickest path to experience. Tom Chi’s prototype was simple and created out of a coat hanger. 2. I learned it is important to do things because it is the best kind of thinking. The more creation you do the better ideas flow. Also, I am shocked how fast these prototypes take for the google team. Step 3. Use materials that move at the speed thought to maximize the rate of learning. School teaches us the foundations of learning but Tom Chi stresses on the other type of learning called expansive learning which is important for creating something unique. Overall, although prototyping can be challenging, although by following these steps towards success it enables greater expansive learning to create new ideas.

Since I am virtual this week due to a field hockey tournament Mr. Brodie told us to start our homework in class in creating prototype phone cases. I love to be artistic although I am not the greatest artist.

#1 My first prototype to the left was your standard phone case. The phone rests on the large back piece and the two bottom sides of the phone are gripped by the two curved ends. There is also a gap for readily phone charging access. #2 My second prototype was a more contemporary approach the base panel is wood with one short slit cut through the side and then there is a slanted wood panel with a longer slit which can slide into the base wood panel and prop up the phone.

#3 My third prototype was of a smaller scaled high heel shoe. I thought it was a fun way to have a phone stand. #4 My fourth prototype is a small beaker shaped stand which has slits on both sides of it wide enough to keep the phone in place. #5 My fifth prototype I was thinking way out of the box. I thought about how everyone is on the go and I thought because of the apple watches faulty camera creating a watch but it has a stand connected off of the wrist band to hold your phone is a genius way to multitask.

4/22/21

Today we were tasked to bring one of our phone stands to life Mr. Brodie seemed to like the high heel idea so I decided to execute that. Figuring out how to created the phone was harder then I thought without having a replica nearby but eventually i figured out a model.

My initial issue was I wanted the back heel part to be centered but I am not sure yet how to cut it in half may have to use center line point to chop off side of heel and only have the middle heel but on the same plane as the front of the shoe.

On the left was my first attempt where I noticed I needed the heel to be on the same plane as the front. In my second attempt on the right you can see once I extruded it that I made sure they were on the same plane.

4/24/21

Today, my main goal in class was to fix the heel of the shoe so that it was in the center and did not take up the full width of the shoe.

1. First what I tried to do was create one element but then I would have to extrude everything to the same width and I did not want that.
2. Then my issue was the heel was only staying to the right side but I wanted it to be in the center.
3. Then I decided to create two separate elements and used the distance tool to put the heel equally in the center.

Overall I am very happy with my design despite the difficulties I encountered, and I would love to print it out and see the real thing.

Fourth Revolution Video

From watching the video for homework on the Fourth Industrial Revolution I have learned that we are now living in the Fourth Revolution which brings digital, physical, and biological systems to the world. We can use digital materials to transform cities and regions and make life easier. The original Industrial Revolution was the start of fossil fuels success, although now within society fossil fuels are not needed and damage the earth. The tech industry will enable a cleaner earth. Jobs are being lost to technology a predicted almost 5 million jobs would be lost but necessity jobs would still consist of humans. Technology will promote equitable growth and augment reality like using it to cure paralysis. This concept of the Fourth Revolution relates to this class in that through using 3D design programs to life through Fusion we can create efficient and creative ways to expand and transform our future. These tools will be necessary in the future because eventually technology will surround all aspects of our daily lives.

My idea for the lamp design is a wider base with a width of 6 in and a height of 1.5 in which is wood than a base of glass or plastic with a width of 5 in and a height of 2.5 in than I would add a pyramid on top which is also glass or plastic with a width of 4 in and a height of 2.5 in. The light bulb will be installed into the wood base and hopefully the glass or plastic will give off enough light.

My second lamp design is a little more simple but I feel it could look super elegant as a desk lamp. I would create a circle base of 9 in and suspending out of the base would be same material of base not sure what that would be yet and 4 lightbulbs would be attached to each pole at varying heights. One at 13 in one at 11 in one at 8 in and one at 5 in.

For my third lamp I created a more slanted design with a 4 in front base with front height being 6 in and the back height being 5 in and the portion which incases the light bulb will be 5 in.

Define Mode: Define the challenge you are taking on, based on what you have learned about your user and about the context.

• The design challenge I am taking on is creating a lamp based off of the dimensions of a lightbulb my user will most likely be me I am creating something that is easy, accesible, and more modern.
• Narrow the focus of the project and specifically state the problem you are addressing.
• As a part of my project the problem I am trying to figure out is how light will be able to reflect off of the lightbulb and the glass/plastic will be thin enough but not too thin to provide light.

Define constraints and craft a meaningful and actionable problem statement.

• Restrictions will be the width of the glass, making sure the lightbulb will function in the model, and choosing which design I believe will be the best. My steps will focus around these ideas and I will make sure 1. i chose the correct design, 2. I create appropriate dimensions, 3. I think about how the light bulb would work and where the cord to plug it into the lamp would come out of.

5/1/21

Today in class we created a prototype lightbulb for our lamp stands.

5/1/21 Homework

For my first design in the top left corner I designed a person with malleable arms and legs and the head is the light bulb. For the image to the right the lightbulb will be in the center in a wood base with paper like pieces encompassing the whole design to almost look like a book. The third image in the bottom right corner is a classic desk lamp with rolling capabilities to allow easier mobility. Lastly the image to the right in the bottom right corner is a circular base with tree light branches coming from the bottom with two bulbs on either end which have moving antennas to allow light to be centered in certain regions.

5/5/21

Since In class my design was not working as good as I thought it would with the cardboard model I decided in the last portion of the class to start a new lamp design. Although risky I feel it was look much nicer.

These three images showcase my overall idea for the next lamp although throughout all three I could not figure out how to make a hole in the middle

5/6/21

Today in class we needed to finish our prototypes since my last one looked like a house I wanted to change the hole design completely and take a modern look on a lamp. Below are the two angles of my prototype and what I need to successfully tackle is finding a supportive base

Its a little lopsided but it does the trick the lamp shade gives off a floating look and the middle has negative space.

5/7/21

Today I extruded my lamp base not adding the shade yet

5/8/21

In class I worked on creating the hole, the lamp shade, and the stand where the lightbulb would go.

5/11/21

Today in class I finalized my lamp design i made my lamp shade hollow at the bottom like a lampshade. Also Mr. Brodie suggested I just only use one lightbulb and I connect that to one of the side shafts to the base because then there will be easier access to the base.

Very happy with my design still looking to improve overall sleekness and accesibility.

5/13/21

Today in class I decided to change the appearance of my design and create a black base with a clearer glass lamp shade. I also made the gap between the base and the lightbulb smaller so it can keep the lightbulb secure.

I am also super excited because Mr. Brodie and I are cutting on the side panels of my lamp design.

5/20/21

Today I fully assembled my base and lamp structure the left was the before when I first started assembling the right shows what I have now. Next class I am going to create a lamp shade and figure out how the wires will work.

5/25/21

Today in class as well as each class after this I have been trying to figure out a frame that could hold my lamp shade, although I am having some difficulty figuring it out therefore Mr. Brodie worked with the whole class to try to create the outline.

6/3/21

For my last day of class I finished my lamp!!! I am very happy with its design it is very different from any lamp I have seen. Mr. Brodie printed out my design off of fushion for the lamp shade frame and then I put paper around the outside the fill in the shade.
