Week 10
Thur, Nov 14 CW –
Today in class, I continued working on finishing up my model but mainly began my fabrication phase. First, I started off by trying to make an extrusion on the underside of the fish to allow for room for the light bulb and area to change it with your hand, however after trying a few times and struggling, I discussed with Mr. Brodie and he just said I should not do it in fusion, but rather just do it in the wood shop once it prints it all out. Then, I moved my files onto Pepakura from Fusion and tried to get them to unfold properly with the correct constraints. This was not working properly on the computer in the main classroom, so I tried it on the other computer and it ended up working as you can see in the picture. It still struggled with the boat hull, however, I will just separate it into three parts and I think it should work. Next time, I will continue this, and then print them out and try and finish on time for our last class.
Thur, Nov 14 HW –
Tonight for homework, I got quite a bit done for my model as well as with Pepakora. First, I started by watching some videos for the Pepakora applications, so that I could figure out what I needed to do in my models and the actual application that would allow me to properly add them in and unfold them. Then, after finding out that the application works best when the models have fin edges rather than blends, I edited my model. I began at the nose of the hull, where you can see that the hull’s bow is now much more pointy which will allow for the pepakora to unfold better, as well as fits my model idea better, so I like the way it looks as well. Then, for the last thing, I moved onto the back of the boat hull, where it used to be a steady blend into the back, I made it more fine-edged, with no more gradual decline, but rather just one slope decline, and then a flat back plain.
Tue, Nov 12 CW –
Today in class, I continued working on my boat fusion model. In this class, I was not able to do some of the things that I wanted to do to correct the model. First I started by fixing the arm for the fish so it allows for the electrical to go through, and then also just to go with the design that I wanted to follow. This may not work due to no structural support or not enough, so I may have to fix it, but I think that It should work. Then, I tried to fix the shape of the hull to be more flush, but that didn’t work, so I will discover what I need to do for that, and then try to do it again. Finally, I worked on making my extrusions for the storage slots in the model, which will be used in the end to store things, and are a pretty important part of the model and its practicality as a lamp and also a storage device. I did that by just making a sketch on the face and then making a box and then extruding that box out. Next, I need to conclude my model by possibly fixing the hull and then adding them into the pepakora.
Tue, Nov 12 HW –
Tonight for homework, I continued modeling the ship’s hull through constraints and sketches as well as mainly offset planes. I have been using offset planes to find the given model of the hull throughout all of the different locations along the hull that I need it, and has proven to be very beneficial for easily coping my existing model of the hull throughout all of the different planes, and makes it easy for me to know that the model will stay constant throughout the whole hull and just takes on another thing off the list for me to possibly have to fix. I went through tonight and made my planes, sketches, and projections throughout the back half of the stern of the hull and made sure there was a steady decrease in the back there. I did, however, run into the issue as you can see in the second picture that the hull gets narrower as it goes along which I do not want for my design, so tomorrow in class, I will ask Mr. Brodie how to fix that and make sure I have a constant width throughout all of the hulls.
Week 9
Fri, Nov 8 CW –
Today for classwork, I continued working on the bow of my ship. As I said previously, for the last class or two, I have been working with constraints and projections to create the ship hull and most recently was working on the bow. I struggled with creating the pointy look, so today for classwork, I worked on fixing some of my projections and constraints, to slowly make them smaller to create the sloped incline of the bow. I also took the model that I made, and am making a special model on another computer to see if It could lay out the hull for me to make it easier to print. For the next homework, I would like to work on fixing the last constraint and making it smaller to finish the sharp bow look, and then also finish the back half of the hull since the whole thing is not modeled right now.
Fri, Nov 8 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on continuing my boat modeling by working with the loft tool once I completely all of my planes and project them correctly, so they all stay at the top constant, and the bottom sizes get smaller as they head closer to the bow. I had an error as I said last time that after I scaled them, they would all scale into the center rather than staying constant at the top, so tonight for homework, I had to extend the lines so that they would meet at the top, and then just work my lofting off of the planes once they were completed correctly. Then I did the loft tool and it took some time I got the body well but the nose didn’t want to work no matter how much I tried to fix it so tomorrow in class I will ask Mr. Brodie as to what I should do for that.
Wed, Nov 6 CW –
Today in class, I continued my modeling of the constraints and projections for the hull and bow. This process is one that does take a good amount of time, but I was able to get all of my sketches properly fit and offset, however I did run into the issue that based off of sketches that i have right now, the bow would slope down, which I dont want, to I will need to learn how to fix that So it can be the opposite and slope up. For homework, I will continue the modeling of the constraints and continue to get closer to the finishing of my ship and then begin the fish.
Wed, Nov 6 HW –
For Homework, I worked on, and dicovered how to use a new tool on Fusion. Last time I was talking with Mr. Brodie, we talked about how I shoulld not have spent all of my time on the jointery since it is not neccesary but rather just focus on making the relasitic and functional fusion model. Since I found this out at the end of last class so I was able to talk with him on how to fix it, I went into consult today, and He talked me throught the fist parts of the how to do it, but was not able to get too in depth, so I just finished up the first profile, and then tryed moving on to the next one, but I forget the tool on how to add the same design for the hull onto all of the different profles I will make, so for classwork, I need to continue working with Mr. Brodie on how to work throught this process.
Mon, Nov 4 CW –
Today in class, I worked on fixing my upper lamp model. It wasnt corret because I was unable to get the jointery correct, so I had to remake it and now It will be able to be construeted properly when I get to the stage of printing the model out. I also imported the old model of the lightbuld since it went away when I changed my design pieces, so I able to get that in and extruded. Then I finihsed my extruding the peices of the arm which will need to be jointed and get the rest of the fish ready for my extrusions there which I will need help with next class.
Mon, Nov 4 HW – Tonight for homework, I was unable to do any modeling because of a funsion issue related to my computor, so I had to bring it into tech support and fix the bug that blocked the launching of the Fusion app for me. They were able to get it fixed and It will be ready for my next classwork.
Week 8
Thur, Oct 31 CW –
Today In class, I contiued to work on my boat lamp desgin. I forcused on finishing up the jointery for the boat since that is the only thing that will end up having joints. I need to go throught all of the outside of the boat and create joints for it except for the left two cabins which will not be covered and will provide as two nice storage slots to help further my idea of the lamp also serving as a night stand organizer. To make the joints on the outside was a long and tedious process, however is super important and helps provide pretty much all of the strenght to not only keep the boat up, but also the extended arm and fish up as well. It was pretty hard to do the joints especially with all of the angles and turns that the boat desgin has, but I was able to get it done, and now I need to do the correct extrusions for my next session of homework.
Thur, Oct 31 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on continuing my designing for the Lamp project. Specifically, tonight I created some jointerery which i have have to continue making since I did not finish, as well as began my extrusions for the boat and pole, but I have not gotten to the fish part yet. The fish will be hard since it will need to be more of a 3D model and ther others are not as much of that, But I think That i might be able to find the tool to help me with that in fusion and maybe make the step alittle easier.
Week 7
Fri, Oct 25 CW –
Today In class was parents weekend, so unfortunately though it was fun to teach our parents about what we do and how we design on the fusion and show some of the other projects we had done, there was not too much that I was able to get done. However I did figure out my light situation in the fish by Importing the old light buld model from a different tab and insurting it into the current drawing to make sure my fish was properly designed around the light buld. I had some issues importing but once I figured that out, I moved the light components so that it was siting deeper inside the fish and not just in the mouth, and then the time was over. Next class, I will begin my extrusions and actual modeling.
Fri, Oct 25 HW –
Tonight for homework, I was working on continuing my outlining that I started to do last class. There was nothing that I had done that was new, besides using some of the tools that I don’t often use when doing my usual modeling. I was learning to get good with the spline tool mainly on the fish and how to adjust a line after making it which Is definitely a super important tool to know how to do. So for the homework time, I worked on just going throughand outlining all of the lines that I needed to. For the next class, I will need to get the light in the fish some how and figure that out, as well as began my extrusions if I have time.
Thur, Oct 24 CW –
Today in class, I took the drawing that I did for homework, and finished up the final designs of the fish as well as got the dimensions for the whole fish. This was interesting because I used some of the new tools to scale a drawing that were first introduced when we were going over the light buld sketch. So I scaled the drawings after I got them into fusion, to make sure that they were proper dimensions for the rest of the project. This step was arguable one of the most important so it took me some time to get it and do it correctly. But once I had that done, I began outlining all of the lines that I needed to mak before the time was out. For homework I will just continue this.
Thur, Oct 24 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on making scale models of the two ideas I have to build off of the ideas that Mr. Brodie and Myself were thinking of at the end of the last class. These fish are supposed to work as shades so they must be able to fit the light inside them some way, as well as need to be able to allow people to get in there some how and change the light bulb. So I came up with two different ideas to expand and think off of. One of them is a tuna fish which is my favorite and the one I am leaning towards with the light be somewhere in the stomach but other is a shark where the light is going straight back. Next class I will figure out what one I want to do, as well as start my modeling for that.
Tue, Oct 22 CW –
Today In class, I took the dimensions that I got last night, and added them into my scale drawing, which will make the designing process mich easier since I will be able to just look of the sheet of dimensions, rather than guessing as I go. Along with adding the dimensions to the drawing, as I went up for a question with Mr. Brodie, he brought up a great point which I will incorporate in my design. This idea is that rather than having just a genaric light shade, I will make it a fish in some way so that it looks like the fish is jumping up and eating the light, and fits in well with my overarching theme of the ocean, with boats and fish. Now, I need to further my idea with the fish, and do a scale sketch of it for homework.
Tue, Oct 22 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on finding the proper dimensions for the boat lamp. after thinking about it, I want my light to function as a light for my nightstand, but not be a night light, so it has to be fairly bright so it can light the room. I needed to find these dimensions so I continue modeling in class and get myself a good idea at what size it will most likely be. In clas, I would like to possibly start modelling but most importantly, I would like to finish my final sketch.
(Do not have a photo since I only got dimensions)
Week 6
Fri, Oct 18 CW –
Today in class, I narrowed down on a specific design and what I would like the lamp to work as, as well as began drawing my design to scale so that Mr. Brodie and I could visualize the lamp’s size and function. I did this by getting a large piece of paper, and sketching what size I wanted it to be and how much detail I would like to put into the base of the design, the boat. I did not finish this all, so for homework, I would like to do that so I can go into class with my full idea shown.
Fri, Oct 18 HW –
Tonight for homework, I started officially on my concept sketches for the new lamp project and think I have a pretty good idea about what Specific design I want to do for the project, but of course will bring it to Mr. Brodie tomorrow and we can decide then. The only worry I have is that It may be a little too complicated for what the project is asking for us, so we can see it tomorrow. I did all of my concept sketches tonight and think I know which specific idea I want to pursue but will once again, decide this officially tomorrow when we learn what materials we can and can’t use.
Wed, Oct 16 CW –
Today in class, we began our new project, by mr. Brodie introducing the new project and describing the details for the project. Once said, we started our modeling of the light bulb which will be used in our design and we did this for most of the class. However, mostly all of the class was done with this before the end of class, so then we introduced our personally ideas that we had come up with, and then started our concept sketches for a few minutes before the end of the class. For Homework, I will try and finish four concept sketches and narrow down on a particular design.
Wed, Oct 16 HW –
Tonight for homework, I did the reading that was assigned and got ready for the new assignment that we will be starting up.
Mon, Oct 14 CW –
Today I am Proud to say that we have OFFICIALLY completed the Rube Goldberg project and got it to work consistently and showed it to most of the class.
Mon, Oct 14 HW – image of completed homework
Week 5
Thur, Oct 10 CW –
Today in class, I worked on setting up and doing our mostly completed Rube Goldberg contraption. In this picture and video you can see how all of our parts go together and solve a final but just a bit of a error at the end which has since been fixed
Thur, Oct 10 HW –
I have finished all of the Online fusion modeling, so there is nothing that I could have done to prepare for class tomorrow.
Tue, Oct 8 CW –
Today during class, I worked on glueing up my box for the ramp, which took a decent amount of time since it was pretty difficult to get the angles right in prep for when it drys. Along with glueing up my box for the ramp, I also finished all of my printing for the project by printing the ramp section but then class ended right when I finish up, so I took all of my parts, and I will glue them for the next class.
Tue, Oct 8 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on completing the fall stage for the ramps on the fusion modeling which was designing the walls with the joinery so that the actual ramp will joint into them and make the whole thing stronger. I never worked with making ramps on fusion, so it was a first with calculating the area with the slope and how to exact make the joinery fit, but I was able to get it then tested it with the joint command and was shown how they all jointed together nicely. Now tomorrow in class, I need to print this out, and then glue both this and the parts I did for last class, and then I will have completed all of my parts for the project deadline on Friday.
Week 4
Fri, Oct 4 CW –
Today In class, I did alittle bit of work on my modeling to get closer to finishing and now I think i will be able to finish and print it for the next class. But mainly, my group and myself continued setting up our desgin and seeing what will work because our marble ramp was done drying so we were able to use and build off of it. With the testing, we found some things that we will need to change like the funnel system for the ball so the dropping location is more accurate. Mainly, however, I worked on getting all of the files ready and printed out the back box part of the ramp which will hold the ball and will glue that up also next class.
Fri, Oct 4 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on re-making the the ramp that I printed out in class last time, however I went through by making a new sketch for each side, and this time, I made sure that all of the joints were the same size thick, .21 inches, so that the joints would join together smoothly because although the location of every joint was correct and would fit into the joint of the opposite side, the thickness of them was not correct, so I went through and made them all the same so the joints would function properly and securely. Along with that, with the bit of extra time I had left, I began breifly making the ramp portion by first making the actually ramp away and getting the joints on that correct, and then started the joints on the two outside walls. In class tomorrow, depending on how many are waiting to print, I will either Print out my revised box, or I will finish up my ramp and get those on DXF files to print as well.
Wed, Oct 2 CW –
Today In class, My groupmates and I worked on setting up the first few sections of the project and testing them,and also I printed out the First parts for the bowling ball ramp. While testing out the first parts of our project, most of it worked great, however, there are a few parts that will need to be better set up or redesigned like the funnel because the ball would come down the ramp too fast and when that happened, it would just shoot out the funnel rather than going down it so thats that part that will need to be redesigned and reprinted for next class. Along with doing our tests, I began my printing for the final ramp, just to test, which was a good design because I did end up having a few joints that I need to make bigger so the whole parts can connect to each other smoothly.
Wed, Sept Oct 2 HW –
Tonight for homework, I am continuing my work on the final ramp for the bowling ball. I started by using the joint command for the walls and trying to get them back together, however they don’t seem to all be able to joint together even though they are all in different sketches and components, but I was able to last time, so I just ended up creating the top roof away from the model and then I jointed it to left side wall since it just moved it into space fine, and will hopefully make the print process for all the components easier if they are all separated but i know that they can go together since i tested it with the joint. The last part I need to finish, the ramp, its not something i think i have ever done correctly, so rather than just extruding a line like i did and making joints on that, I will bring my question into class tomorrow with Mr. Brodie, so i can get proper help and finish my ramp off correctly.
Mon, Sept 30 CW –
Today in class, my group and myself originally started by reviewing the things that we have brought in and created for the project, so we started by testing our table with the car and a ramp, to see what little adjustments we may have had to make but everything with the table looked good, so we didn’t have to adjust anything. Along with doing the table and tests with the cars and car ramp, I also mainly worked on completing the first ramp for the marble, since I had already worked on cutting the middle two sheets out with thicker wood by following the template I made on the laser cutter, I started by glueing those middle sheets together and while I waited for those to dry, I printed out the two side walls which are a inch higher to guide the ball, with my group mate, and then once we finished the fabrication of those, I glued those together before class finished. For homework, I should just continue doing my joints and extrusions on the final bowling ball ramp and then I should be good to print everything out.
Mon, Sept 30 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on continuing to model my bowling ball ramp for the final stage of our project. I mainly focused on finishing the back portion of the ramp since I will be splitting it up into two different pieces but just having them together so I can use the box to hold the ball on a flat surface before the hammer comes down and hits it down the ramp. But tonight, I worked on making the front and back of the box by first adding the joints into the sketches, then extruding them out to show, and then once I had them both extruded out, I needed to create new components for every side, so that I was able to joint all of them together so then I was able to begin the process of making the roof of this box. Now in class, I will just finish this box, and make the correct ramp with joints and then I will be completed with all of my parts and ready to print them all out.
Week 3
Fri, Sept 27 CW –
Today in class, I worked on continuing the modeling process for the final ramp which will hold the bowling ball. Since I originally was planning on printing some parts out on the laser cutter for my first ramp, but the laser room was to packed, so I was not able to get time on the machine.
Fri, Sept 27 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on recreating the bowling ball ramp with the proper dimensions and angle in order for the bowling ball to actually move when hit and therefore create an functional ramp. I finished all of the extrusions and jointery for the one side and finished all of the joints on the other, but was unable to extrude them yet, so in class, i will look to finish the ramp by doing the extrusion and also by creating the middle dividing wall with will be very important.
Wed, Sept 25 CW –
Today in class, My group and myself started looking back over the plan for our project since we now had most of if not all of the parts custom designed on fusion. Most importantly, we took new dimensions and measurements at the bottom of the stair well where we will do our project and got measurements to fix and correctly model the parts we did not have correctly done, and for me, I had to re-measure and design the final ramp for the bowling ball since our plans changed as to where the hammer and wedge will be placed before it. It originally was place before the ramp and the wedge would hit the ramp which would move the ball, however the hammer stand and wedge now need to be on top of the ramp, so we took new measurements of that as well as the track for the marbles and the funnel, and for the next class, we will have those parts re-designed and hopefully they will be better then.
Wed, Sept 25 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on completing my last step for the fusion model that I wanted to adjust from one of my group mates, as well as locate all of the supplies necessary for the next class since my group said they wanted the goods brought in as soon as possible. I worked on doing a hammer and hammer stand as well as a wedge that the hammer would hit. the way I did would be most practical because on the wedge, its not just a complete triangle on the side that gets hit but rather there is a flat portion on it so that when it gets hit, it would be able to transfer energy to the ball so that the ball can get a strike on the bowling pins. However these two portions are supposed to be on the ramps that I have already made and can be seen in the background, but i cant move them so tomorrow in class, i would like to talk to mr Brodie on how to combine all of sketches to one for the ramps so then i can move them.
Mon, Sept 23 CW –
Today for classwork, my group and myself reevaluated what we needed to complete, bring in, as well as model to complete our project to the fullest extent that we want right now. First, after discussing with Mr. Brodie, we found out that although we did a good job by making everyone have a different part in the project, we also needed add some further parts and/or adjust other group mates parts to be more efficient, which is what i mainly did, I went through most parts and made some minor adjustments where i saw necessary and added them to my fusion. We also found out what i needed to bring in and now for the next homework, i will work on finding and getting all of the parts ready to be brought to school. So for the homework, I will just need to complete one more section of the fusion modeling, as well as finding and bringing most parts for our project.
Mon, Sept 23 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on doing two things to get ready to have all of my fusion models ready for tomorrow. First thing I did was continue with adding joints to the most important parts, the ramps, so that they will be as easy as possible to print and put together as well as strong to hold the weight. I then created a wedge which will be placed behind one of the ramps to make the ball move when the wedge is hit, and I made this wedge because my teameate was curious as to what design to go with so we all desgined one and tomorrow in class we are going to look them over and check to see which design we picked. Now in class tomorrow i will just have a few joints to finish up and some printing to finish the first ramp and I should be pretty good to go.
Week 2
Thur, Sept 19 CW –
Today in class, I worked on learning how to use new equipment in the fabrication room, as well as seeing all of the optinons that the fabrication room has to offer which we may be able to use once or twice this year or maybe in a more advanced class. First however, Mr brodie and I started by finding a quater inch think piece of scrap wood that would work and fit my ramp in it. We then traced out the ramps on the wood and got ready to cut. But before i cut, mr. brodie let me get some practice in with cutting on the machine before it was actually time to do it. The once I got the hang of doing the cuts, I started on the ramp cuts. Althought I did end up cutting it pretty close to the line on some parts, it was ok because then after we cutting the rough ramps out, my brodie used the router machine and got them pretty much perfect. Now, next i need to make a wedge for the ramps of car and bowling ball, and then all of my fusion models should be done.
Thur, Sept 19 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on completing my final part of my section, which was the last ramp for the bowling ball which will allow the ball to make a strike on the pins. Unfortunately, When i saved my work last class, the data did not completely save to software, so although most of the work was fine since i was already done with it, I did manage to lose some of my important joints that i had made on my car ramp, so now I will have to bring it into class tomorrow, and check with the teacher to see if there is anything that we may be able to do but i don’t think there is, and then I will probably have to end up redoing some of the joints on the car ramp. However for tonight, I worked on the bowling ball ramp, which is bigger than the last car ramp, going to have more joints than the car ramp, and also be longer. These are all so that the ball will have enough force down the ramp to strike the pins hard enough for them to fall. Hopefully, Once i figure out my issue with the car ramp and its joints that are no longer there, our group will be able to start doing all of the fabrications of the things and also begin setting the project up in the stair well.
Tue, Sept 17 CW –
Today for class, I worked on helping my group with their tracks and funnels in the marble ramps. First started by using the combine tool for the car ramp, so it would be more efficient since i would not be printing as much, and it allows it to be structural stronger. Then, I worked on finalizing my original idea with my marble ramp where i need to print out multiple of the inside piece, and and once they are printed out, i will glue them together so that the ramps surface for the marble will be about 2 inches across so the bigger marble will have enough room to more freely. After discussing with the teacher, we have decided that the hight i made for two outside walls, because it needs to be taller so that once the ball hits and bounces, the taller outside walls will keep to ball on the track. Once we got everything correct, Mr. Brodie allowed me to start my first print and test to see if everything looks right like the hight and the design, which it does. Now, For homework, I will begin the last ramp for the bowling ball which will be bigger so it can generate enough speed and i should be good to go with all of the ramps done.
Tue, Sept 17 HW –
Tonight for homework, I worked on m completing my section of the rude Goldburg project. To recap, my section was to do the first ramps for the car and the marble section after it jumps out of the track, and will later design a similar ramp for our final, bowling ball ramp. Although most of the main ramp was already set up, it was set up incorrectly with wrong extrusions and sketches with joints, so tonight for homework, I went back through and made correct joints for the base back and sides which will be really important fro holding all of the weight of the car and the bowling ball. This was also a good thing for me to do because I noticed that I forgot a lot of the joint and combines rules and tools, so this allowed me to go threw and remind myself of all of the tools. Now we will have to discuss with my teammates about what we will have to get or design next in the process of completing our project.
Week 1
Sat, Sept 14 CW –
today in class, my group and myself continued working on our specific sections of the project. For me, I had to talk to my partners, who are making some of the sections before mine for some dimensions on how big i should make my two ramps. For one, I just had to design two different walls, one for the middle which will be copied many times to make the inside and two for the outside to make higher boarder walls so the marble does not go off the ramp. However for the more complex bowling ball ramp, i need to design extrusions for the ramp so that they all joint together and makes it stronger, and since the bowling balls are heavy, I will need to make sure that the ramp is extra strong so that its not another part that could possibly fail, Now i will need to continue added onto my ramps and finish the last part of my section, and we all should be ready to slowly bring the final product all together.
Sat, Sept 14 HW –
Tonight for homework, I began my fusion designing process for out Rude Goldburg project. Since my group and I ran out of time last class just trying to come up with ideas and narrowing them down, we only got to be able to take measurements of the area we are doing it in and how big the steps are, but we did not end up getting the dimensions for the ramps that I was assigned to make, so during my homework time slot, I worked learning some of the new tools to be able to make a curved cut match to another and also how to construct a ramp with extrusions and possibly joints if my group thinks we need them when we talk tomorrow. Now I will go to my classmates tomorrow, we will get all of our proper measurements and then be able to correctly begin the ramps since I have a feeling I was off with my estimations today.
Thur, Sept 12 CW –
Today in class, my group and myself worked on finding our location on where the machine will be constructed which is in the back stair way, because it gives us plenty of room so that our machine is not too bunched together, as well as a bottom flat section which will allow us to have a big surface to complete our objective of getting a strike with a bowling ball. We also completed the steps for the machine, which althought we know will probably change, it still needs to be done so that we have some thing to follow off of. Now i need to begin my fusion designing of the three ramps that we will do which i will begin for homework and hopefully the project will slowly start coming together.
Thur, Sept 12 HW –
Tonight for homework, I continued working on my sketches for our recent project. Because my group and myself finished most of the work for designing what we think the contraption should complete and how it should look, i just had to finish the last two steps of the process. Since we originally planned to have an electric assembly belt rising a marble up to the top of a desk, my group set out tonight to all come up with a second option which we will show each other tomorrow and then further decide what will be the best for our project. Then, after we finalize that, we can begin moving our ideas to fusion and begin the modeling process tomorrow in class.
Tue, Sept 10 HW –
Today for our first class in advanced tech design, my group and myself began our rude goldberg project and how we will construct it as well as what our finish idea would be. A major part was starting with the finish movement and moving backwards from there because doing it backward would allow us to master every part from there knowing that the last section would be which is moving a bowling ball and getting a strike on the bowling pins. Now for homework I will get the first two parts perfect and then we will be able to begin our designing. We know that we will change some things in the future but us having a good idea now is very important for us and how we will continue working.
