Finished Fusion sketches
5/24 Homework
I revised the thickness of my sketches so that it would be able to be sanded, but I didn’t increase the margins too much because I liked the intricate nature of my original designs. I tried to find a good balance between my intricacy and efficiency and durability.

Although I had some trouble with the mistake of using the wrong material thickness in my design, I’m glad I was able to persevere and the person I’m giving this to is happy with the outcome. I used drawings as I was told that etching on cardboard is dangerous. Yushi wanted a drawing of a koi fish because he misses the pet koi he has back in Japan, and I wrote the word “love” in Japanese.

Physical prototype
4/5 Homework
Although I forgot my cardboard prototype in the lab, I managed to represent the dimensions of my design on my friend’s desk, and his only critique was that he wanted the design to extrude up, which I then clarified that it will. I showed him a picture of my prototype and my fusion design and he was very happy with how the desktop organizer was coming along.
I used the binder and the notebook to represent the length and width of the design.
