Finished my luminary
Printed out both my top and bottom parts. Glued the two rings and bottom part together, and reglued the paper to my top and one panel
Monday 5/29/2023 Work
Glued all the plastic onto the sides after sanding one side.
the 4 sides have been cut out, and one side has been sanded from each as the inside doesn’t matter. I need to increase the line width next time as it is simply too thin and broke easily as you can see on the snake.
Sunday 5/28/2023 Work
Finished with the bottom and created a ring using the dimensions I measured from the candle. After an arduous process where the dxfs corrupted I managed to finish my dxf files by repairing them on rhino. I can print it by Monday.
I just need to add the bottom, But I don’t know the candle dimensions so I can’t make it just yet
Finished Panel 4, it has two swords on each side with chains holding them together.
Finished panel 3, inspiration is a star and a snake eating it.
Classwork 5/26/2023
I have finished my desktop organizer. I utilized mostly wood glue, and at the end used the 10 sec glue and clamps to repair the gaps as it settled apart.
Homework 5/26/2023
Almost finished my desktop organizer (I went and worked on it)
Started my third panel of the luminary
Classwork 5/22/2023
Continued work on my desktop organizer. A few issues occurred where an arch split and the joints split, and I had to use the ten second glue to keep it together.
Homework due 5/22/2023
Finished panel 2, it has an almost natural look to it. I based it on a thorn and ivy look.
Classwork 5/22/2023
Glued the front section of the drawer and two drawers. I used rubberbands to hold it together
Homework Due 5/22/2023
Did work on panel 2
Classwork 5/19/2023
began panel 2, the eye of Sauron is my inspiration
Finished with panel 1, with the theme being pyramids and eyes
Homework due 5/19/2023
Almost done with the front panel, making sure the positive and negative spaces are correct.
Classwork 5/16/2023
Cut out a lot of precise angles and some joints. Dry-fitted everything together. held it together with tape
Homework due 5/16/2023
Finished the sketch for panel 1, only need to do the positive/ negative space now. I initially put it into Illustrator but after researching I exported and then reimported the DXF file back into Fusion. This removed all the mirror, spline, dimension, etc data. This removed all the lag.
Classwork 5/15/2023
Finished staining all my parts
Homework due 5/15/2023
Finished cutting out my back plate and stained the other sides of a few more parts. I only need to stain around 8 more sides.
Classwork 5/9/2023
Painted most of my parts, except for the back. I printed the back out twice now, and there were errors both times.
Homework due 5/8/2023
Almost done with panel 1
Classwork 5/3/2023
75 percent of the way through with panel 1
Homework due 5/3/2023
The theme for my first panel is the pyramid with an eye symbol, and it will be symmetrical. I want the front and back panels to be symmetrical, whilst the side ones are asymmetrical.
Classwork 5/2/2023
Finalized my design for the luminary, my main theme for it is to have the eye in the middle for all 4 panels.
Homework Due 5/2/2023
The theme for all these four designs was eye.
Classwork 5/1/2023
Finished sanding all my parts, going to recut this one as part of it chipped. I will apply the honey color to the entirety of the structure.
Homework due 4/30/2023
My personal choice would be one of the asymmetrical ones as I could do a lot with it. It’s also my preferred style of art. I do not particularly like the restraints Frank Llyod’s style imposes and much prefer a freeform one.
Classwork 4/28/2023
Smoothed out 2/3 of my desktop organizer, I should finish sanding next class and be ready to assemble it.
Classwork 4/25/2023
Finished cutting out all my parts. I am now ready to sand and then fit all the parts together.
Classwork 4/21/2023
Put all the files onto Rhino and am now able to print them out. Sent to Mr. Brodie.
Homework due 4/21/2023
Finished all the joinery which took a few hours, concluding the 3d model
I should be able to cut it out as I have saved all the dxf files.
Classwork for 4/19/2023.
I estimate I am 80 percent of the way through with joinery. The joinery left is only for the floor, triangle walls, and drawer. The drawers are extremely easy to do, as they are just a box. However, there is an issue with the triangle walls as they are too big, in order to be flush they need to be around 0.15 inches thick, not 0.2
Classwork and Homework 4/19/2023
Finished the joinery for the front panels of the organizer. Multiple issues arose when I was trying to make it, usually, the sketch warping which leads to the extrusion warping and than I have to remake the entire thing. RIght now its symmetrical and the issues are removed.
CLaswork 4/14/2023
Worked on joinery, various problems kept occurring and I had to delete and reextrude many bodies.
Classwork 4/11/2023
Finished the desktop organizer, the only thing left is to add joinery
Homework 4/10/2023
Finished the front of the drawer, so now it is exactly 1/16+1/16 from each width and 1/16 shorter. The mid-floor is also now flush with the new adjusted height of the side to accommodate the drawer.
Classwork 4/10/2023
Made the back, started working on the drawer
Homework 4/10/2023
Made the mid divider 0.2 inches smaller on each side, and conversely extended side 1 0.2 inches as well. This was mostly to keep it as streamlined looking as possible. I began work on the back sections with were the floor would be.
Classwork 4/4/2023
none – presentations
Homework 4/4/2023
Placed on Eric’s desk with items in it
Changed the front design to make it more stable.
The top image is an older design and the bottom is the latest. As you can see from the bottom one the gaps in the door are aligned with the star, whilst in the top one the gaps are veered towards the left. I also decreased the roof size
Classwork 4/4/2023
Finished the prototype of the design. I had to make the back a triangle as it seems extremely unlikely I will be able to make the back rounded/
Homework 4/4/2023
Finished the mid-divider section where books are stored. While it has many gaps it should be stable enough, especially once it is made out of wood. The star pattern is the one on the floor of Pop Hall’s Rotunda.
Classwork 4/3/2023
Worked on the prototype of the design. This is essentially the design my 3d model will follow.
Homework 4/3/2023
Feedback Paragraph:
For the final design of the desktop organizer the user brought up two main things: Stability and size. The size is simply too big and would be cumbersome to fit on a desk. Thus the most simple solution is to decrease the back from being a square to a more rectangular size. It will have less storage, but I think I could make it work. For stability it’s most evident where the holes are. While the issue will be undoubtedly mitigated when the structure is made of wood I can add tiny pegs to connect the design together and prevent it from falling apart.
Classwork 4/1/2023
Finished the prototype of the design, cutting it out on the laser cutter and printing it out.
Homework 4/1/2023
Added 2 more windows and put them where it approximately is. I also have the files ready to print.
Classwork 3/31/2023
Homework 3/31/2023
Finished the front portion of pop hall. Many designs changes were made and the only real semblance of the original is the three-gap design
Classwork 3/28/2023
I had to shrink the dimensions, causing it to be less rectangular than I hoped it to be.
Homework 3/28/2023
Design sketches, it is based on pop hall with a built-in sharpener, the rotunda being a pencil holder, and the left side is a book/paper/rectangular object holder that has removable dividers and slots to put them in every few inches. The right is 4 drawers for storage of various things.
The pencil sharpener is this type
Classwork 3/27/2023
The problem I am trying to address is the issue of storage of a large amount of things. To store a math textbook requires a large amount fo space, which is pretty simple given the 14^3 size, but I want to balance it with a creative and aesthtically pleasing design. A giant hole in the bottom of the organizaer is not at all pretty so I want to customize it in that way. The sharpener, won’t need to be big and will be easy to implement in that sense. The main issue with it is to allow the sharpener to be stable but also be removable as any issue present within it may warrant it being removed. If it is glued into it it obviously can’t be removed. The freedom allocated to me on the design is something that I will use to its fullest extent and I plan on basing it off some rectangular building, where the base is longer width wise than length wise. My design idea for it will be quite easily with the constraints of questions 10, 9, 6, 2, 5, 4. The answers given to me by the user are aligned with my initial design ideas and I will be able to implement them with few difficulty.
Question to clarify: What type of pencil sharpener is needed?

Friday 2/03/2023 HW
Finished the roof, phone stand, the turret it stands on, and added the phone.
This is absolute overkill. A temple to my phone. Modernity and archaic greek architecture
Tuesday 1/31/2023 Classwork
Began to work on the roof
The pillars and base are all done. I had to copy/move many many many parts. It was tedious.
Tuesday 1/31/2023 HW
Finished the head of the pillar using many different spirals. The pillar is now done.
Saturday 1/28/2023 Class Work
Began work on the head of the pillar, basing it on Greek Ionic designs. I used the spline command to create the spiral
Saturday 1/28/2023 HW
Instead of filleting the pillar after it has been extruded I made fillets in sketch and revolved it. I also made the fillets at the bottom of it by using holes and circular patterns. This was the result which I am honestly quite proud of.
Friday 1/27/Classwork
Began work on remodeling the pillar, separating it into three components one with the base, flutes, and curves. This was to solve a filleting issue
Friday 1/27/2023 Homework
Greek Ionic columns are used. They have 24 flutes and are 8 diameters tall. They are surrounded by a square and two circles. There are three steps surrounding the outside of the temple each 0.35 wide. I will be using the mirror command at the end as it lags my computer too much.
Tuesday 1/24/2023 Classwork
Began my sketch of the iPhone holder. It will be based on a greek temple with 2 pillars beside the phone holder, four on the side, a removable roof, and the main phone holder utilizing magnets and two joints.

By combing and extruding parts the lower arm horizontal has been created. There are 4 circle holes and 12 sqaure holes embedded within it, allowing someone to attach clips to it.
Mon, Dec 11 Classwork
Instead of setting the distance between the lower arms we added the two small metal plates in between it and used the joint command to connect it all together. The model can now functionally turn.
Finished lasering, smoothing, and putting the resin into the upper arm half
Mon, Dec 11 Homework
The two metal plates have been created, one bigger than the other. The sketch for the lower arm has also been made, it is very similar to the upper arm only slightly modified. The most notable difference is the inclusion of another circle.
