Suvas A. – Lville Design

Finals Cram Part 5/5 – Finally, the finished product is here! While there is a rigid joint attaching the car to the track, during the build and construction, this will not be the case. The car is simply made to slot into grooves for the tires, which are embedded in the track using the combine tool. This allows the car to be easily removed and the bulb to be easily replaced for better repairability. The biggest change comes to the aesthetics. Custom colors have been added to the lamp to give a more pleasing look that will make it more appealing. The track is going to be created using carbon fiber, denoted by the carbon fiber appearance, and the car will be mostly aluminium and partly glass to avoid straining the foundation with too much weight.

Finals Cram Part 4/5 – The foundation of the lamp is finished. It is interesting. The old two ugly poles were discarded and the base was extended further. Simply relying on one pole is not enough, so a foundation that looks like a human with a car-shaped head was created. The rectangle is the body, the cylinder is the neck, the car and track is the head, and the two sticks represent the legs and clown-sized feet. All of these elements are attached to each other using glue, but the feet are going to be screwed in to allow for a variable angle, as denoted by the revolute joint. The feet serve as a holder for any books or other items. A semi-circle is carved out to allow for a free range of motion for the feet. Ultimately, this is a very functional and creative design that will appeal to the masses.

Finals Cram Part 3/5 – The base was given attention in this part. It was made bigger to provide a strong foundation for the car and the bulb. Also, a base bottom was added to allow any broken wires to be easily replaced. Modularity is important, and soldered wires will not stay soldered forever, so repairability is important for economical reasons, as no one would want to buy an unrepairable item, or at least wanted to; now it seems that people do not care even when they should. Moving on, a notch is placed in this plate for easy access using a spudger while still retaining a tight seal.

Finals Cram Part 2/5 – The car was placed into the lamp model/design. The link between the car component and the file was broken, so the car was scaled accordingly and joined to the top of the track.

Finals Cram Part 1/5 – The car was finished by copying and pasting one wheel three times to create the other wheels. Then, the wheel covers were modeled. This was done by first extruding the sideline out, then diagonal slightly, and then back in, wrapping itself underneath the width of the tire. Then, that was further extruded diagonally and the remaining vertices were welded. This was repeated for each tire. Then, the bottom of the car was flattened out. More adjustments were made to the shape of the car to make it look less boxy. Then, the form was finished. The appearance was added to different surfaces. The windshield and windows were made translucent to allow the light to pass through.

Classwork 11/10/2022 – Since the last car modeled was done following a youtube video, this time, the car needed to be modeled from scratch without using help from external sources. To achieve this, first, a plane under a new form was created and the part where people sit was extruded up. Then, the car was slightly bent down in the front due to the natural shape of the hood. Then, the sides of the car were extruded down to the sides like a normal car. Finally, cutouts for the wheels were cut out. A few adjustments were made to make the car look less boxy. A wheel was modeled using a cylinder and by extruding it. The wheel was extruded to the sides and underneath to layer it. Finally, using copy-and-paste, a smaller cylinder inside from the outside wheel to create the spokes. These spokes were modeled by extruding one side of the smaller wheel.

Homework Due 11/10/2022 – The car was added to the lamp design. Unfortunately, the car was not scaled properly to fit the lamp. I am confused about how to do that, so I plan to ask this question during class. Then, I felt that simply adding a car on the top was bland and boring. I did a bit of brainstorming and thought of making the base and leg supports more creative. I was thinking of creating a holder for other objects. The new legs connected to the road on the top are the first part of this. Finally, in order to fit the legs, I had to shrink the base box. This required creating a brand new box and recreating the holes for the switch, bulb screw pole, and power cord, which were all then extruded. I also plan to add a bottom cover to the base to make the object more repairable.

Classwork 11/7/2022 – The car’s appearance is finalized. A spoiler was added to the back, and an exhaust for the supercharger is added to the front. Finally, colors were added to the car to allow the light bulb to light up its surroundings. These designs were my work.

Classwork 11/3/2022 and Homework Due 11/7/2022 – A new design was created to design a car. In the original sketch, a light bulb was intended to be placed inside of the car by being routed underneath it. This is that car. A youtube tutorial was followed to create this car. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyqQtLjt_WM. Inside the new design, a new form was created and a new plane was created inside that new form. Using organic modeling, the different aspects of the car were modeled out to create smooth, rounded edges and designs. New bodies were created for the wheels and the tires. All of this work was completed using a video tutorial.

Homework Due 11/3/2022 – Created holes in the base for the wiring to go through rod for the light bulb. Additionally, a new light bulb was created with a smaller height. This will allow for it to fit inside of the car without the car being a giant. Finally, the threaded rod was joined to the base half way through it so that it is properly, firmly kept in place.

Classwork 10/31/2022 – Created base for lamp and the road for the lamp bulb. This was done using the box command and the cylinder command, making sure that all of the dimensions were entered accurately. Then, a hole was created inside of the box around halfway deep to allow the rod to fit inside. Then, each of these cylinders/cylindric holes was threaded to allow them to be screwed into each other. The threads were fully 3D modeled, not simply designed to look like threads.

Classwork 10/27/2022 – Contemplated how a combination of my previous sketches could create the ultimate design. So, the car is at the top sitting on the road with a light bulb inside of it. Then, there is a compass north magnet and a south magnet connected to the pole using a hinge. The car has a more detailed sketch on a separate piece of paper.

Homework Due 10/27/2022 – Drew a few sketches on what the lamp design could be. A few ideas ranging from a train to a car, to a simply creatively designed lamp exist here. The circular balloon-looking object is the bulb.

Classwork 10/26/2022 – Created an LED Lamp Bulb. First, an image of the bulb was downloaded and used as a canvas for creating the sketch. It was first calibrated and then aligned with the origin on the bottom corner. Then, sketches were made to align with the half side of the sketch. Dimensions were recorded and transferred to the sketch. Ths sketch also included using the spline tool, which allowed the bulb’s curve to be measured. Finally, the sketch was completed, and using the revolve command, the sketch was created into two new bodies: the bulb and the base.

Classwork 10/20/2022 – This is the final product. First, the old stand was deleted and removed. It was determined that the intention of using screws to connect the speaker to the stand was not possible since there simply was not enough space to screw it in. So, it was determined that plastic pins would be used to snap it in place. Thus, a new phone floor that would be a part of the speaker would need to have a space inside to allow the phone stand to fit. This required the construction of a new phone floor with side pods and a phone backrest. A cylinder that is acting like a pin that is to connect the floor that the phone will stand on with the back that the phone will rest on. These components will be joined using a revolute joint, which will allow for the adjustable tilt. Finally, a front barrier was placed in the front to avoid the phone from slipping off of the phone stand. The final product is just that but with a very nice bamboo look, that makes it look like an authentic acoustic, wood speaker.

Homework Due 10/20/2022 – Holes were cut out in the front of the speaker so that it could send out all of the sound towards the direction of the listener/user. Also, the inner walls of the speaker were covered to avoid sound from leaking and escaping from the top. The bottom will be covered once the phone stand is placed there using screws that allow for the adjustable tilt. Additionally, the phone stand part of the speaker has holes cut out on the bottom so that the phone’s speaker is able to actually send sound into the speaker.

Classwork 10/19/2022 – The speaker box was hollowed out and the front of it was cut out to accommodate the phone. The hollowness of the speaker will allow the sound produced by the phone to be amplified, which will result in a louder sound with a higher fidelity, similar to how a guitar works with its wood chamber. When placed in the speaker, the phone should be able to be used, so front was cut out. After the box was hollowed, the side needed to be covered back up to avoid sound being leaked when the speaker is playing music.

Classwork 10/17/2022 – I was able to construct the phone back stand by creating a sketch using the phone sketch to create the sketch in fusion. All the necessary dimensions were translated over to create a rectangle that the phone could lie on. Also, a rectangle for keeping the phone upright was necessary to make sure that it did not fall over. Finally, a circle was sketched in between those two so that it could pivot freely when connected to the final speaker. This would allow for the tilt of the phone to be adjustable when it is resting on the stand.

Classwork 10/13/2022 – Fully completed Wood LED Lamp. Bottom plate is attached, base plate is attached, and wires are fully connected and soldiered together. The lamp turns on and works properly.

Classwork 10/8/2022 – Added block mounts to the LED Lamp using the join command and added a hole to the base of the lamp for the wiring. However, the base changes could not be made on the lamp design, it could only be done on the original base design. So, the originally attached base was thrown away, then a hole was added to the base component outside of the lamp design using the hole command, measuring the diameter. Finally, the new base was rejoined to the base plate.

Homework Due 10/8/2022 – Sketched out a few different designs for a phone stand. They all try to have an adjustable tilt, but some such as #4 allow for the phone to also be mounted horizontally. The most unique is #2, which functions as both a phone stand and an acoustic speaker.

Classwork and Homework Due 10/6/2022 – For homework, the back camera was sketched out, measured for its dimensions, and then finally sketched into fusion. Once sketched into fusion, it was extruded the appropriate amounts. Then, during class, color was added to the entire phone, adding black to parts of the case, and red to the parts that there truly the phone, making the front glass a black metallic color.

Classwork 10/4/2022 – Speaker grill on the phone was sketched out using the rectangular pattern tool on a circle, and then extruded. Finally, the home button was sketched out on the front of the phone and then was extruded.

Homework Due 10/3/2022 – All of the features of the phone were measured for their dimensions: length, width, and thickness (in or out of the phone). Each part was sketched onto the sketch that was already created for its corresponding side. Then, once the sketch was completed, the part was extruded the necessary amount either into the phone (cut) or out of the phone (new body).

Classwork 9/29/2022 – The back rectangle was deleted since it was simply the back of the front rectangle being extruded. So, the front rectangle was extruded the thickness of the phone as a new body. Then, each side of the phone except for the top created a new sketch and projected its corresponding side. Finally, the rounded corners of the phone were completed using the fillet command. The radius was figured out by using the circle measurement tool and multiplying the number given by 1/2. The rounded edges of the phone were created using the fillet command again. Since both edges were filleted by half of the width since the phone was completed rounded with no flat edge on the side.

Homework Due 9/29/2022 – Two rectangles were created with the specified dimensions of the front and back of the phone. However, since there is no dimension for the thickness of the phone, the sides and top can’t be sketched out in Fusion yet.

Classwork 9/28/2022 – Created orthographic sketch of an iPhone SE 2020 with a Spigen Case on it. The front, sides, and back have been sketched, with their dimensions being noted, but any further details have not been sketched.

Homework Due 9/28/2022 – Placed the base assembly into the LED Lamp File as a new component. The base plate of the base component was hidden before being placed in the Lamp File because he had already created a base plate previously in the Lamp file and simply needed to join it to the main base. However, before doing that, the base plate needed to the joined to the lamp. The center of the base plate needed to be joined to the midpoint of the two verticals in the center. To do this a new sketch that did not belong to any component was created by taking two diagonal lines from one corner of the base vertical to the other. Then a point was put at their intersection since that marked the midpoint. Then the sketch was complete and the base plate was simply joined to that point at the center, making sure that the holes were facing the back, and the main base was then joined to the base plate, making sure that the holes of the base plate lined up with the cut-out of the main base.

Classwork 9/26/2022 – Built out the base. First, the main base was built as a new component. Circles and lines are sketched out using the tools we previously learned such as the tangent constraint or the cut feature. Then, this was extruded, with different elements of the sketch being extruded to cut into the solid cylindrical block. This was repeated for the bottom, where the bottom was projected and different dados were sketched out to eventually be extruded to cut into the cylinder’s bottom. Once this was complete, the base plate was built as a new component. Using the project feature, a new sketch in this component projected the inner circle of the top of the cylinder clock and was then extruded as a new body .21 inches. Finally, the bottom plate was constructed as a new component. Using the same methods as the base plate, a new sketch projected the bottom dado and then extruded it out as a new body. All of the parts of the cylindrical block that were cut into by the previous extrusions were eventually extruded back out as separate bodies. This allows us to separate and isolate the different parts of the base when laser cutting these parts, whether it is the main base, the base plate, or the bottom plate.

Classwork 9/22/2022 – Placed screws on the lower arm/upper arm joint and the lower arm/base vertical joint. Finally, a standoff was added to connect the two sides of the lower arm together.

Classwork 9/21/2022 – Created base vertical by creating two circles and creating tangent lines that were the specified length. Then, the base vertical component was copied and pasted as a separate component. Finally, the two large metal discs were joined to the lower arm using a revolute joint and each base vertical was joined to a metal disc using a rigid joint.

Homework Due 9/21/2022 – copied sketches of upper arm side and upper horizontal and placed them into Rhino 3D. These were then placed on a plywood rectangle and then printed using the laser cutter.

Classwork 9/15/2022 – Sketched out the base of the lamp, otherwise known as the base plate. Inside the base plate, there were two circles. The smaller circle was for the wiring and the bigger circle housed the switch. The bigger circle had three notches of varying sizes, so the offset tool was used to create those notches. Finally, the base plate was extruded to a thickness of 0.22 inches.

Homework Due 9/15/2022 – Sketched the lower horizontal and extruded it. Then the combine tool’s cut feature was used to create joinery between the lower arm sides and the lower horizontal. Finally, a second sketch was performed on the back of the lower horizontal using the project feature. This sketch drew out the holes and squares necessary for attaching the aluminium block mount for keeping the wiring in place.

Classwork 9/14/2022 – first extruded the lower arm side to 0.21 inches. Then, it was duplicated using copy and paste. Finally, using the small metal discs that were previously created and joined to the upper arm sides, the lower arm side was joined to the small metal disc using a revolute joint and putting the lower arm side at a 105-degree angle.

Homework Due 9/14/2022 – sketched out the lower arm side by first creating a new component, creating the rectangles to connect the plywood, creating the holes for the magnets, and using the dimension tool to figure out the length between objects.

Classwork 9/12/2022 – used a joint to connect both sides of the upper arm together. Using the as-built joint feature, the upper horizontal was connected with each of the upper arm sides, which did not need extra joints since the standoff was used for that. Then, small metal discs were created and placed on the outsides of the upper arm sides, which is where the magnets go for connecting to the lower arm. Finally, large metal discs were created for future use.

Classwork 9/9/2022 – completed upper horizontal by first creating a rectangular sketch on an upper arm side and then finally extruding it out to the other side to connect both sides of the upper arm together. Then, the combine tool was used to cut off the parts of the upper horizontal that shared a common space with the upper arm sides.

Homework Due 9/8/2022 – copied one arm side and pasted it as a new, separate component, thus completing both sides of the upper arm

Classwork 9/7/2022 – placed holes (circles) for the magnets and the connection plywood (rectangle) and extruded the 3D model of the upper arm side profile.

Homework Due 9/7/2022 – upper arm side profile sketch. Created two circles and two lines that were both tangent to the smaller circle, with the upper line also being tangent to the bigger circle. Note: this sketch has a dimension error that has been corrected on the final 3D model.

Classwork 9/5/2022 – built a hollow box with a lid
