both sides of the upper arm were created
upper arm was joined via the the piece in the center and joints
Both sets of metal disks were created and the smaller ones attached to the upper arm

The sketch for the side of the lower arm of the lamp with 4 magnet holes and 2 circle ends

The lower arm sides and metal disks have all been joined via joints, the lower arms at 105 degrees with a revolute joint rather than a rigid one.
The horizontal to join the lower arm sides was created and used to join the sides via the combine and cut tools
On the lower horizontal I cut out the 4 identical and circular holes along with the 12 decorative squares and finished the sketch.
The base plate for the lamp was created using 3 circles, one for the base, and 2 for the holes. The small hole for the wires and large for a switch. The switch hole has 3 notches to secure the switch which were made using the offset tool.
the beginning of the phone case/holder, this is the 3d model of the exact dimensions of my phone in the case. No buttons or camera yet.
Progress on the phone holder

I decided to use a similar arm as the lamp for the phone holder. I extruded the arm by .25 inches and the large circles are .5 in. The small circle in the middle is .16 in and will use the same screws as in the lamp.

magnets to be used

Work on physical lamp
  1. I sanded the outer edge of the base and put in the wires for the base
  2. I printed out, sanded and glued all the components of the base plate (plate, horizontals and metal disks)
  3. I put the screws and mounts for the wire in the upper arm and fed the LED strip thru and stuck it on the arm

Finished Lamp

All the wires were soldered and covered with a sleeve, put into the lamp base’s cavity and the base plate glued down followed by the bottom plate being pressure sealed in. The lamp is fully functional.

I made the second part of the upper arm and began the sketch for the upper arm horizontal and apparatus that will hold the phone and attach to the arm

  1. I created the upper arm horizontal and cut it out using the arms as tools but didn’t join them yet.
  2. I created the plate on which the phone will rest both upright and sideways and made a lip to secure it
  3. I made both horizontals that will go on the phone plate to let it rotate up and down
  4. I created the space to attach the horizontals on the phone plate
Completed Phone holder

It uses the same idea as the lamp design, 2 arms, a base plate + solid base and a magnets to allow for pivoting. The cradle for the phone is equal to the phones length and has a lip to secure it and allows for the phone to be stood upright as well allowing for dual use.

10/26 Classwork

Used the orthographic drawing of the lightbulb and socket to create a 3D model to use in our lamp designs. We were introduced to the spline tool to create the curve of the bulb and the resolve tool to make the 3D piece.

10/27 HW

sketches of possible lamps

10/28 Class Work

I used the canvas tool to sketch a surfboard and created cross section planes on the design, though I am still confused as to why. The dimensions of the board are complete and the light is next to it for reference.

Class work 10/31

Began making the curved width of the board

HW 11/3

I used cross sections spaced 3 inches apart each and the loft command to create the smooth, curved shape of the surfboard by connecting evenly spaced ellipses. It is a little chunky as to contain the lightbulb but will look better once with texture.

11/3 Class Work

I essentially finished my lamp. The surfboard lamp shade was hollowed out to a thickness of .03 inches with the shell tool. I gave the board a translucent yellow plastic and the red stripe is translucent plastic as well. Base is comprised of a base and base plate with a raised piece to secure the lamp shade and the light bulb.

HW 11/6

Added and extruded words on base.

Class Work 11/7

I added a beach ball and bucket to the design.

Made a sphere and used 2 planes to split the body and give each segment different color. Jointed it to the base

Used 2 circles and the loft tool to make the bucket. Shelled the body and jointed it to base.

11/10 Class Work

I created a podium, hollowed space for wires, a beach and ocean for the surfboard.
