*5/22 – I completed my lamp design 3d model and only have to properly connect the wires for the wooden lamp, which I need to work on during class time. So, I won’t be positing new homework update in the blog.

* I forgot to post some in-class works so I added them to the blog site. Also, I worked on the phone stand design additionally, so I’d appreciate it if you can check them and consider them. Thank you

Lamp Design

Completed design:

• I noticed that the base of the sample lamp has a deep enough indent so that the cord of the led bulb can come out to the side (since we want the lamp to stand flat on the surface). Since my lamp design has reference to an illuminator, I need to make this indent on the base that holds the sides of the lamp.

• Side 3 is the same as side 1, and I kept the design of the leaf to give a sense of unity in the design.
• I used joint command to join the sides together

• I projected the side on the edge of the first side so that this side can go on the edge of the previous one

• The lamp works like an illuminator. Rectangular box and each side has different design. The light will radiate through

• Lotus symbolizes many different things in Korean folk drawing depending on what it’s drawn along with. The original folk drawing piece that I earned inspiration from portrays lotus with books. I designed this lamp, imagining the lamp to be placed in a bedroom, a place where I usually study. The light radiating through the lotus design will illuminate the desk and my room, conveying a sense of enlightenment and knowledge.

LED modeling

• I used canvas to add the orthographic design of the led light and modeled it 2d. Finally, I used revolve function to make it 3D.

Phone case design

• Like the point I mentioned in the previous stage of design, I added various layers of depth to the amplifier. I achieved this using offset of a circle around the main circular hole and extruding them to various depths.

• I created a small semi circular hole on the bottom of the box, on the side closer to the placement of the phone. This hole serves as a charging port so that a person can use the phone stand while charging their phone.

• I extruded the hole so that the amplified sound can leave the box. I am wondering how I can modify and add various layers to the hole like an in-ward cone shape so that the sound can be amplified to its maximum. (example on the left)

• a user can vertically place a phone in the box. I noticed that the speakers are located at the bottom of a phone, so naturally, the box will function as a sound amplifier.
• I need to make a round hole on the front of the box so that the amplified sound can leave the box.

LED Lamp

• Design techniques: use “As-built joint” tool to attach the parts as a rigid body. Imported the main base to the current design and used joint to combine with the led lamp body.
• The large metal plate piece was missing.
• When using cut-combine tool, make sure to click “keep tool”

• Design strategy: to match the center of the circular base with the center of the bottom of the lower arm, draw two diagonals and mark the center point. Then, use the joint command to put them together
• * use revolution for joints

• part a) sketching the main base: I used various sized circles and the trim feature to create the patterns. I first did the top then flipped the base to complete the bottom.
• part b) I created the top base plate using “project” on the top of the base and extruding it to fill the space.
• part c) I used the same method in part b to create the bottom base plate.

• Design Strategy: Create a construction line along the center to align the holes. Then, use the rectangular pattern tool to create the equally spaced array of holes along the arm.

• Design strategy: use combine and cut commands to fit the horizontal bar into the array of rectangular holes.

*note. Metal plates are needed in order to…
