This is my finished lamp project! The lamp sits on a circular base which is currently on the table I made in class. The bulb is surrounded by four columns which are all enclosed by a class cylinder. The top of the lamp shade is removable so one can change the bulb when needed. Some details like the wings and the star not only provide visual appeal but also functionality (the star serves as the screw to unscrew the top of the lamp). I also have a small hole on the side of the lamp base for the wiring to come out of. Homework due November 13th, 2022. For homework I created the “screw” for my lamp shade to come off. Basically this rod is attached to the trapezoid-like structure which extends through the middle of the lamp shade and connects at the top via the circle and the star. When the star is twisted off, the lamp shade is able to come off, therefore allowing one to change the bulb. Classwork November 11th, 2022. Today I started making a way to change my bulb affectively. I plan to make a screw connected to the lamp shade through the star on top. I started by making something to connect it to. I will continue this for homework. Homework due November 10th. Today I went through every part of my lamp and made sure my dimensions and scaling were correct. I also made sure my joints were correctly oriented on the lamp. I’m feeling confident about my lamp so far and may add a few more small details to make it even better. Classwork November 7th, 2022. Today I spent some time playing with different wing ideas as my other wings were not good. I ended up making these wings which I think look a lot better and also join to the lamp better than the other two wings. Homework due November 7th, 2022. Today I realized my current wings were not correctly joined to the lamp, which meant I had to redo the wings and join them correctly. I may alter the wing design in the future. Homework due November 4th, 2022. Tonight I created two small squares and made sure to round the corners out of both so they would look nicer. These two squares are used as a way to keep the glass tube in place between both lamp shade base plates. I joined the two together using tangent planes and a point to join them to. Classwork November 3rd, 2022. Today in class I added a Star of David to the top of my lamp, as well as a wing on each side to add more detail. I also created a class tube covering my lamp shade to create more shade on the lamp. Lastly, I made a hole on the side of my lamp base plate for the bulb wiring to come out of. Homework due November 3rd, 2022. For homework I joined the lamp shade with the main base to make the full lamp. I also added colors to give the lamp more detail. I plan on adding some more details to the lamp to make it stand out even more. Classwork October 31st, 2022. Today I did a lot of work. I inserted my lightbulb into my design and put it on my base. Then I created four rods to connect the lamp shade to the base. In order to connect the rods to the base, I used another similar shape as the lamp shade but made sure to hallow out part of it to make space for the lightbulb rod. Classwork October 26th, 2022. This is my current lamp design. I created a lot of the bigger more defining parts of the lamp this class. I also found that the revolve tool was incredibly useful for making circular like shapes such as the tube in the middle and the lamp shade. Homework due October 27th, 2022. These are my lamp design models. I’m not sure which one I’m going to go ahead and model yet, but I’m leaning towards design #4 because I think it is not too difficult to make and would look very good. Classwork October 26th, 2022. This is the lightbulb design we completed together in class. I found it very interesting how we made a 2d sketch outlining the dimensions of the bulb, and then made it into a 3d model with just a few commands! back angle of phone stand Side angle of phone standHomework / Classwork October 20th. Here is my finished phone stand design! I have my phone conveniently resting on the stand, along with a few vertical plates to keep it from slipping out. For support and just a cool feature, I have a person holding up the stand from the back. These two main features are supported by a base plate to prevent the phone stand from tipping over. I also added a smaller but thicker base plate to support the bottom of the phone stand. Lastly, I added some color for some extra detail. Classwork October 20th, 2022. Today I joined together the two main parts. I am almost done; all I need to do now is connect this to a more stable base plate and add some color to spice it up a bit!Homework due October 20th, 2022. Tonight I finished the two parts of my phone stand: the stand and the person to hold the stand. To finish the phone stand off, I need to join the two figures together and rotate the phone stand a little in order to tilt it Classwork October 19th, 2022. This is my completed LED lamp! I tucked in the wires and connected the base plate with glue. Now I have to wait a night in order for the glue to do its work! Classwork on October 17th, 2022. This is my almost completed LED lamp! I connected the base plate with the lamp and heated together some wires. Lastly, all I need to do to complete the lamp is tuck in the wires!Homework due October 19th, 2022. This is my main phone stand finished. I joined together all the parts in order to create this piece. Next, I will create the “person” who will hold up this stand!Classwork on October 13th, 2022. These are a few of the parts to my phone stand, which I started today. I made the main base plate, as well as a few of the parts to go on the bottom stand. Later, I will rotate and join these pieces together. Classwork on October 13th, 2022. These are all of my LED lamp parts so far. I have the completed upper and lower arms, as well as all the hardware in place. I also inputted the wiring as well as sanded and wired the big base plate. Lastly, I glued in my smaller base plate with the base verticals. Homework due October 10th, 2022. These are my phone stand designs drawn out on paper. As it says in the blueprints, my personal favorite is the first one because I think it is creative and appealing to the eye. REDONE: back side drawing of phoneREDONE: front side drawing of phone Consult October 7th, 2022. This is the finished back portion of my phone model. Classwork October 6th, 2022. This is my finished LED lamp 3d model! Classwork October 6th, 2022. This is the bulk of my 3d phone model! I added the screen today to give it a nicer and more realistic flare. I also touched up some dimensions, including the corners of my phone. I will most likely go back in a check that my dimensions line up with my reference drawing in the near future. Homework due October 5th, 2022. Today I spent a decent amount of time redoing the lower volume buttons of my phone in order to make them more precise. I used lines and dimensions to scale the buttons correctly. With this complete, I am done with most of the model of my phone. Classwork / Consult work October 4th, 2022. Today I inserted all of the hardware pieces into my design. I used the joint command as well as the copy and paste command. The only thing I have to do to finish the whole design is import my finished base plate into this. Front side of phone blueprintsBack side of phone blueprintsHomework due October 3rd, 2022. This is the completed backside of my phone model. I used dimensions to scale my circles and squares. It took a while, but was worth it in the end. Although I couldn’t show all of it, I did finish the whole model!Homework due September 29th, 2022. Above is the sketch for the front border of my iPhone. I scaled the dimensions to the dimensions of my phone, and created the curved boarders on the corners using circles and lines to scale them. I am not quite done with my written blueprints for the phone, which is why there is no photo of that on my blog. However, I should be done by tomorrow as I only have some things to add. Homework due September 28th, 2022. For homework I created the whole base for the LED lamp. I had to create a lot of circles and then extrude these circles to create the shape for the base. It was straightforward but required a lot of different steps to achieve. Classwork on September 26th, 2022. Today I added some screws to the arms in order to secure them together. I also extruded a few holes in the lower horizontal arm. Classwork for September 22nd, 2022. Today I got a lot done! Although it is not pictured here, I sanded and glued my upper arms and upper horizontal together. I also added the magnets to both upper arms. Pictured above is what I completed today! I connected the base verticals to the lower arms, and then connected the whole structure to the base plate! The lamp is really coming together. Homework due September 22nd, 2022. I caught up on a part that I was having trouble on earlier in the week and added the square and circular holes into my lower horizontal. I did this by creating various amounts of squares and circles and then duplicating them, ensuring they were spaced out via the necessary dimensions. Classwork September 21st, 2022. Not only did I make the structure below in class today, but I also made two base verticals that will be used on the base plate to support my larger LED lamp. I had to figure this one out myself, but with the collaboration of some friends we eventually all figured it out. Classwork on September 21st, 2022. Today in class I uploaded the upper arms and horizontal to the app Rhino in order to print it out via very cool laser machine. This machine cut my pieces into the image shown above (again, very cool and very precise!). I then snapped the pieces together in order to get my first big structure of the LED lamp!Classwork on September 16th, 2022. This is the start of the base of the LED lamp. We made one large circle and then made two smaller circles inside in order to eventually support the lamp. The grooves in the smaller circle are very important in completing this task. Homework due September 15th, 2022. We extruded the lower arms in order to create a rectangle to connect the two arms together and give them a more solid connection overall. We then cut out parts of the rectangle to fit into the rectangular holes in the arms. Classwork for September 14th, 2022. In class, we connected both sets of arms.We moved the lower arms to a 105 degree angle, and kept the upper arms straight. Homework due September 14th, 2022. We created a sketch for the lower arm of the LED lamp which we will later extrude and create a copy of in order to continue on with the design. The patterns in the arm are very similar to that of the upper arms!Classwork on September 12th, 2022. In class, we inserted the cylinder – like shape which would serve as a joining piece between the two ends of the upper arms. We also created metal circles which will later be added to the upper arms as plates for support and connection. Ignore the bottom design, which is homework for the next day. Classwork on September 9th, 2022. We joined the two arms together by creating a rectangle which fits in the rectangular holes found in the arms. Homework Due September 8th, 2022. For homework, I copied the upper arm and spaced it out by using the joint tool. Class Work on September 7th, 2022. We added details to the upper arm, including rectangles and circles for magnet slots. Homework Due September 7th, 2022. This is the Upper Arm Side One for the LED lamp project.
