Nov. 11 In-Class: My final R2D2 lamp is complete. Today in class I just built a new table that was the required 4×4 feet and 3 feet tall. I also built a chair to add to the room idea. The chair is 28 inches tall. I also shaded the lightbulb with a foggy blue glass appearance as a shade for the light.

Nov. 10 Homework: For homework tonight I mostly made sure my lamp was functional by looking at the joints and the wiring. I also built a simple wooden table to put the lamp on to see how it would look in a home setting. The table is 3 feet tall. I also built a plug for the wire of the lamp by creating a box then projecting to rectangles on it and extruding the rectangles. I might tweak a few things in class tomorrow but overall I am mostly done with the lamp.

Nov. 9 Classwork: In class today I started by jointing my lamp shade to the main body. I might change the color later but for now it is just going to be clear glass. Next I extruded part of the middle leg on the bottom which allows for the I phone to sit perfectly on the leg as a rest. Finally I created a pipe on a spline and then jointed it to the middle leg where the wire hole comes out of the leg. Tomorrow for homework I think I will add some additions to the base to make it more intricate.

Nov. 8 Homework: For homework tonight I decide to spice up my design by adding nails to the joints to make it appear more real life-like. Creating the nails was a bit of a hassle because I had to make them longer, so I just extruded them to be longer. After I jointed them in place into the holes.

Nov. 7 Classwork: For todays class I added designs to the back of the main body of the lamp. Yet again I created sketches for the shapes then used the emboss tool to attach them to the main body. I also changed the appearance to the main base.

Nov. 6 Homework: For homework tonight I started by joint my Full R2d2 lamp to my base. To joint it I jointed the middle of the middle leg to the middle of the base. Next, I joint my lightbulb to the inner wire shaft to witch holds a wire that connects to the lightbulb. After I jointed the bulb, I de-extruded the middle tube through the middle leg creating a hole that a wire goes through.

Nov. 4 In-Class: Today In class I created detail on the main body of the R2D2 by creating a sketch of rectangles and circles, then I used the emboss tool to attach them the the body. The emboss tool allowed the sketches to curve with the main body.

Nov. 3 Homework: For homework tonight I mainly cleaned-up my lamp. I created joinery in the base to the middle leg by projecting the base and drawing a rectangle with the same side lengths as the middle leg of the lamp, then I joined them. I also extended the hollow cylinder (for the wires) down the middle to come out from the bottom of the middle leg. My plan for tomorrows classwork will be to at detail to the main middle body and add color/appearance.

Nov. 2 Classwork: In class today I started by splitting my main body into 2 different parts. The head and the body became 2 different components. I hallowed out the upper body head and made a slot to fit the lightbulb. The next thing I did was jointed my legs to the lower body. I used a revolve joint to put them in. I finally made the hallowed head transparent so the lightbulb shines blue light.

Nov. 1 Homework: For homework tonight I scaled my robot lamp down to .75 so it would appear proportional to my lightbulb. I also created a sphere that I will eventually use to hollow out the head of the lamp so I can use the head as a lamp shade. I also built a wire that is .0255 inches in diameter so it will fit perfectly in side the hole going through the main body.

Nov. 1 Classwork: In class today I worked on detailing the middle leg by de-extruding rectangles and triangles. I also worked on the joints for the legs. I used a nail to joint the right leg to the body. I also made the middle body transparent and de extruded pathways for the electrical wires.

Oct. 31 Homework: For Homework tonight I used my reference image to help me build the middle lower leg of the R2D2 lamp. I also added detail two the side legs and I created .382 inch shaft for the lightbulb rod. I plan on adding more detail to the middle body by adding designs and control buttons.

Oct. 31 Classwork: Today In-Class I decided not to do my original robot design because I chose to make an R2D2 lamp. For the legs I used an image from the web and traced the image. Then I extruded it into legs. For the body I did the same thing except I didn’t use a reference photo I just created half of the main body and then used the revolve tool to revolve it around into a 3d body.

Oct. 28 Classwork: Today in class I played around with my “stickman” lamp idea. I used the draft tool on the base to created the slanted edges and to build the legs and body I simply used boxes and extruded. But, then I realized that I have to create the boxes so that they are in proportion to the bulb because my bulb is much smaller.

Homework Oct. 27: For tonights homework I worked on my concept sketch designs for my lamp. My lamp design sketches are pretty intricate. I used a lot of different lines and ideas in my sketches.

Oct. 25 In Class: In class today I followed step by step for building the lightbulb with a socket. We created lots of lines outlining the socket then we used the revolve tool to create the opposite side of the socket. Then to build the lightbulb we used the spline tool to create the curvature of the bulb. After learning to use the revolve tool, I think I will use the tool for the lamp project.
Oct. 18 In-Class: Today in class I completed my Iphone stand. I spent most of the figuring out how to created cylinders off each end of the ball joint. I jointed the ball joint in class by creating cylinders off of each side of the ball joint. I then jointed those cylinders to each end of the phone stand. I also changed the appearance of the phone stand to solid gold, so if I were to fabricate it, it would be very expensive.
Oct. 17 Homework
Oct. 17 Homework: For tonights homework I primarily worked on my ball joint. I played around with it at first, it took me a while to get what I have now. I first created an outer sphere that was 2.00 inches. Then I cut 1/4 of it out. I then created an inner sphere that is 1.90 inches to be the joint. I also worked on adding a charging cable port on my phone stand by cutting a sphere out of the base of the phone stand.
Oct 17. Classwork: In class combined my phone to the phone holder. I made the phone holder so it fits the phone perfectly. I also played with the joint command ball revolve tool which sparked the idea to create a ball joint.
Classwork Oct. 14: Today in class I welded my wires together by putting the negative white wire to the positive black and the positive white to negative black wires. I then used wood glue to glue the base plate to the base. I then clamped the lamp down using clamps so it could sufficiently dry.
Homework Oct. 13: I added to my phone stand by building the shaft up to hold the phone in between the extruded rectangles snuggly. I made the 2 extruded rectangles 2.95 inches apart so it hold my 2.93 inch phone perfectly. I think to I am going to add to it by trying to figure out a way to make the shaft retractable and try to make the two rectangles holding the phone be able to open and close.
In Class Oct. 11: Today in class I was able to attach my lower arm to the base verticals using the hardware like the screws. I then sanded the base plate while attaching the power button to the base plate using a nut and bolt. After I did this I attach the electrical wires together by attaching the red to red and black to white.
Oct 7 Classwork: I also completed my Iphone. I used the decal tool to paste the Iphone screen on to the face of the phone.
Oct 7 Classwork: Today I completed my auto desk digital fabrication of my led Lamp. I got all of my hardware and screws in.

Oct 6 Homework: For tonights homeworkI drew my 4 concept sketches. For sketch 1 I went with a simply rectangular back rest with a circular base. For design 2 I made a circular base to hold the phone up right with a zig-zag stem. For design 3 I thought of a holder that grabs each end of the phone with a long bendable stem. For the 4 design I went with a a zig zag holder with no stem.
Oct 4: In class charging port and speakers finish and extruded negative back into the phone.
Oct 4: In class today I created a sketch for the bottom of my phone. I outlined the charging port and speakers.

Sept 16: I also created a second upper arm that is parallel to the original and joined them together.
Sept 13: Today I extruded my upper arm and created the holes and rectangles on the arm side.
Sept 13: Homework: I completed the sketch for my upper arm and I used the circular pattern tool and rectangular pattern tool to create the rectangles and circles
Sept 9: Today I created my lower arm verticals by watching the video
Sept 9: I extruded the upper horizontal and cut the upper horizontal to be able to fit in perfectly between the the upper arms
Sept 6: In class I extruded my upper arm which made it a 3D model. I then used the rectangular and circular pattern tool to create the rectangles and circles.
Sept 6: I began my sketch of my upper arm side profile.
