This design had suns around the place since I really enjoy nice weathers and spending my time outside.
Today, I finished all four sides of my luminary lamp. The fourth side incorporated the use of a mirror tool but a fliped side to create my design. while this was a little complicated, I realized that this was just a copy and paste with 180 degrees rotation. Similarly as the past designs, I overlayed different polynomials to create a unique look.

Today, I tried to go off a tangent from my original plans and decided to create that incorporates somewhat of nature on this side. I used water droplets, rough surfaces of rocks and ground, and overlapping geometric shapes to create this design.
Due to my religious background, I added a cross and gave it a religious theme.

May 15 HW missing – Process of translating hand-drawn sketch to Fusion
I took a simpler approach this time and started off with the given piece and used the mirror tool to use the reflection of one side just like I had planned for one of the sketches previously. I mainly used simple geometric shapes such as squares and circles that overlapped each other to come up with unique designs. This is a technique used by my favorite Korean artist, and this came out fairly well. Overall, it came out very well.

May 9 HW & CW Missing – Process of translating hand-drawn sketch to Fusion
The first design of the lamp. This was very confusing and time-consuming as I had zero understanding of the positives and the negatives. The initial step I took to divide a positive and a negative within the pre-existing positives made the design far more confusing than it should have been. This was done by creating another rectangle within the side part. (this is hard to understand, but believe me, it made it far more complicated) However, The product of all the time was very rewarding, as the crib mobile part and the surrounding moderations really fit in very well.
I decided that I wanted the lightning design to be a recurring design as well.

May 3rd hw, classwork
Today, I drew some sketches of my potential designs for my lamp project. The first design took a mirror component where the aesthetics of the design came from the symmetrical look. The second one incorporated one of my favorite childhood games, Tetris, and I used multiple 4 square shapes to create the design. The third one, I really liked the crib mobile that came across my mind out of nowhere. Lastly, the fourth design was drawn with various geometrical shapes and moderation based on the surrounding pieces.

I added my 3d printed piece on the side, which are charger holders.
Today, I finished all my prints and I also painted my pieces to give a slight wooden pigment. I engraved the football picture of Jackson on the back side and I also engraved the hieroglyphics on the side of the organizer. The finished product had two drawers that fit in perfectly when I removed the glue residues.(it was placed on the edges so it wasn’t sliding in smoothly) I would now have to put the 3d printed piece on it.

Apr 13 HW missing – could have modeled drawers
Today, I came up with Dall-E, AI generated designs in order to produce three pictures that I wanted to engrave on my organizer. First, I created a hieroglyphic design because Jackson originally wanted a pyramid shaped organizer. Then, I created a football design because he plays football and his picture with Hunter Cassidy that was taken this fall season in football.

March 30th classwork
I created a middle section divisor that separates two spaces in between the organizer. For one section I was in an effort to allow more free areas for computers, notes, and other big materials while I made the other section for other smaller materials such as a hair comb, pencils, and eraser for Jackson.

March 28 classwork
Today, I kept working on the new bottom piece and the back piece of my organizer. I used the dimension 10x14x9.5 for each piece. I trimmed holes on each side of the organizer in order to make room for other pieces that will be incorporated later on in the design.

Today, I created the bottom piece for the desktop organizer I will give to Jackson Dancy. Although I originally planned to create a pyramid-shaped organizer for Jackson, it seemed largely impractical for me to carry the shape out in fusion. Therefore, I went along with a fairly normal rectangular design. I created a half-circle cut on the bottom piece so Jackson can easily carry out the materials that will be stored in the bottom area.
image uploaded 4/6/23
After re-discussing with Jackson, It seemed very impractical to add a pyramid-shaped design for Jackson. It was very difficult to carry out the design out of fusion when working around the edges of the design. Although everything else would stay the same, I planned to go or the flatter design and rectangular approach.
March 27th classwork
For the desk organizer for Jackson Dancy, Jackson requested a 12 by 12 by 12 symmetrical pyramid-shaped desk organizer with a minimalist approach. Specifically for Jackson who needs easy access to different objects such as pencils, hair combs, snacks, and deodorants, there will be drawers with different sizes. The handle of the drawers was explicitly requested to be in a football shape, and the organizer will also incorporate charger holders. To replicate the color of real pyramids, Jackson requested a beige-colored organizer. Lastly, at the bottom of the organizer, there will be Tiny(Jackson’s nickname)’s toolbox engraved.

Feb 23 hw, classwork
Today, I finished my design create all the middle pieces, and combined them. Because I miscalculated the placement of the 3/4 sector divisor piece, the rectangle holes were misplaced on my pencil box. However, I easily fixed this problem by simply getting rid of the problematic holes and using the cut combine tool.
Feb 22nd classwork
Today, I created the side pieces and the front piece of the pencil box. I created 1 x material thickness sized rectangles same as the last pieces. However, I had difficulty organizing the joint area of the side pieces and the front pieces because I did not consider the calculation needed to combine the front piece. However, by cutting another material thickness sized square on the side piece, I was able to fit the front piece in.
Feb 21th classwork
Today, I created the bottom piece and the back piece of my pencil box. I created 1 x material thickness-sized holes for the middle pieces to fit in. The length of the spaces on the sides of rectangle pieces was length/3 and width/5 by material thickness.
Feb 20th classwork
Today, I created the sketch for the pencil box challenge. I created my dimension to be 10 inches wide, 4 inches high, and 5 inches thick. I created various middle pieces in between the exterior pieces to create separate sections in my pencil box.
Feb 16th classwork
Today, I printed the pieces out and finished making the pencil box. I glued the parts together and used rubber bands to hold them all together.
Feb 16th hw
Today, I created the bottom piece making a 4×4 in square and extruding the piece out. I made 4/3 x material thickness squares to make the different shapes on the side to fit them all together. I used the joint tool the combine at the end.
Feb 14th classwork
Today, I created the middle pieces. Different from the side pieces, the middle part was a little shorter, and I could not simply copy and paste because the middle hole had different lengths from one another. Therefore, I created separate sketches for each and combined them using the joint tool.
Feb 14th hw
Today, I created the front piece sketches using the same technique as the side piece. Then, I extruded the sketch, and copy and pasted the pieces each to make a box shape. I used the joint tool to connect the parts together at the end.
Feb 13th classwork
Today, I started on the pencil box project. First, I created the side part sketch on the front dimension, then created (5/7)material thickness squares on the sides to create the side part. Then, I used the dimension tools in order to use the function tool for material thickness changes. Lastly, I extruded the piece out.
Jan 26th classwork
Today, I completed my phone stand design by adding a feature that controls the viewing angle of the phone. While it was difficult to set up the joint combine features of this as I had to separate each arm piece, I finished them successfully. The design allows the phone to be viewed from three different angles 45, 60, and 75 degrees, and it allows the phone to be seen in both vertical and horizontal views. Lastly, I used the fillet tool to round up the edges of my design.
Jan 26th homework
Today, I started to create my design starting with the holder part. I first created a large oval piece and combine cut the areas where my phone will be. Then, I made three holes using the extrude cut tools to add magnets and a hole in the middle for the rotational feature of my holder.
Jan 24th classwork
Today, I assembled all the LED lamp pieces together and connected the wires. I first joined all the pieces together using screws, then placed the LED on the upper arm, placed the wires down the lower arm and the base, and placed the button behind the lamp so the wire will be in the backside when I use the lamp.
Jan 24th Homework
After I finished my phone, I then drew the design of my phone stand. The feature I came up with was using the metal plate and magnets to add the rotational feature, similar to how the lower arm jointed with the upper arm in the LED lamp.
Jan 12th homework
Today, I created the back part of my phone. I created the cameras and the cardholder. I placed my sketch using the same technique as the other buttons, and then I either extrude cut, or joined the pieces. Lastly, I used the fillet tool to make the edges all-around.
Jan 10th classwork
Today, I created the bottom part of my phone. I made the speakers and the charger holes using the exact same technique I used for my volume buttons. For these buttons, I only used an extrude cut tool to shape them.
Jan 10th homework
I created my phone design and the mute and volume buttons. To create the oval shape of each button, I connected circles and a rectangle, then deleted the unnecessary lines in between. Then, I used a coincidental tool to place each button and extruded them. For the volume buttons, I used extrude join tool and for the mute button, I used an extrude cut tool.
Jan 9th classwork
Today, I drew the dimensions for the new phone stand project. I measured each part of my phone such as the volume buttons, mute buttons, off button, charger hole, cameras, and speakers on my phone.
Jan 8th homework
Today, I created connected all the pieces to the base. I had to project the legs of the base vert pieces in order to cut the rectangle on my base in reference to the pieces. I drew two diagonal lines across to make a center point and joint assembled the pieces.
Then I created the base plate. This was a process of constant extrusion of pieces by projecting them on the design, and it was important to see it the extrusion was a cut or a new body.
Jan 5th classwork
Today, I created two lower vertical pieces for my LED lamp that connect the lower arm pieces and large metal plates to the lamp’s base. I constructed lines on a circle I created to make an estimate tool for the measure of the leg parts of the base vert piece. When I was finished with the sketch, I extruded the piece and created another piece by copy and pasting it in in my design.
Dec 15th classwork
Today, I printed out the lower arm pieces. The assembling process was very similar to the upper arm pieces as I connected the pieces with glue and put magnets in with epoxy. I then placed both small metal plates and large metal plates on both lower arm and upper arm.
Dec 13th classwork
Today, I printed out the upper arm pieces using the laser cutter. I then put epoxy in the circular holes to put the magnets in my arm pieces. Lastly, I assembled them with bond and cleaned extra glue that came out of the holes.
Dec 12th homework
Today, I created a lower horizontal arm piece to connect two lower arms. I initially made a sketch for the arm piece using the dimension of the holes in the lower arm, then I extruded the piece. After that, I used the combined tool to get rid of the unnecessary areas. Lastly, I made circular patterns and rectangular patterns at the back of the horizontal arm piece using the construction lines and coincidental tool.
Dec 12th classwork
Today, I conjoined the lower arm pieces and the small metal piece together using the joint assemble tool. I selected the center point of the circle of both the lower arm and upper arm and joined it to the metal piece. While the upper arm and the metal piece were rigidly jointed, the lower arm was jointed in revolute so it could rotate when using the LED lamp.
Dec 11th hw
Today for homework, I created a lower arm piece and two circular metal plate designs for my LED lamp. In order to create the lower arm, I took the dimensions from the video and used pattern tools similar to the steps I took to create the upper arm. For the two metal plates, I had to extrude the design by a slight amount at the end.
Dec 7th classwork
Today, I printed out the pieces I created in fushion for the past classes. I save the sketches in a file, moved them to a Thumb Drive, then printed them with a laser cutter. Once it was printed, I used a sandpaper machine to smoothen out the surface of the wood pieces.
Dec 6th classwork
For class, I created a horizontal piece for my lamp to connect two upper pieces I created prior to class. From the 2D sketch I had, I created a rectangle proportional to the size width of the holes, and length of the upper arms. Then, I extruded the piece and used the cut combine tool to get rid of the areas that did not fit into the upper pieces.
hw Dec 6, 2022
For Homework, I added rectangular and circular holes to my upper arm design. I duplicated my sketch for my upper arm by using perpendicular joint points and separating them from my original design. I created an extra component for my project. Lastly, I made sure the distance between my two designs are 0.94 inches apart.
Dec 5 classwork
From the design I created for homework, I used circular pattern tools and rectangular tools to help evenly place the holes(circle and rectangle) from a reference point. Then, we used the extrude tool to give the module a thickness from a 2D shape into a 3D shape.
HW Dec 5, 2022
I created an upper arm section of the LED lamp project. I first created two circles for the ends of the upper arm, then set a diameter to a length given by the diagram. I further distanced the centers of the circles to 13.75 inches and added a line on top of both circles tangent to the surface. The bottom line I created was a straight line only tangent to the smaller circle. Lastly, I trimmed the line inside the upper arm. This was the first step to the build the lamp. Although I had some challenges while setting up exact distances and lines, the design ultimately came out neatly.
