I asked chatGPT for a summary of all the prompts I gave it while refining my design:
“Cozy ocean-themed bedroom at night with a pastel stained-glass jellyfish lamp on a wooden bedside table beside a bed with blue coral-pattern bedding. The lamp has a purple, pink, and soft yellow Tiffany-style glass dome, a centered stand, and dense thick translucent tentacles hanging from the edge with slight curves. Warm cozy lighting, slightly dim room, nautical decor, porthole window with underwater ocean view, jellyfish artwork, seashells, plants, realistic and highly detailed.”

Wed, May 13 HW – Image and description of completed homework
First ChatGPT render: it didn’t really fit with my design and how I wanted it to be like.

Week 7
Thu, May 7 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Finished 3D Model
Thu, May 7 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I used the add thickness tool in create form to add thickness to my head. I’m now finished with fabricating.
Tue, May 5 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
The circular top part can’t be printed because it has no thickness, so I’m trying different ways to remake it with the same effect.
Tue, May 5 HW – Image and description of completed homework
Waiting for 3D print
Week 6
Fri, May 1 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Added finishing touches so it’s good to go get printed.
Fri, May 1 HW – Image and description of completed homework
Waiting to 3D print
Wed, Apr 29 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I pretty much completed my model but before I fabricate it I would like to work on more details. I need to figure out what materials to use in my prototype as well as my dimensions as well as how I would create the spinning head.
Wed, Apr 29 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I remade the tentacles to a more appropriate size and used the pattern by path tool to place 20 around the diameter of my lamp shade.
Mon, Apr 27 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I feel like the end design would be a bit bulky if my tentacles were too wide, so I created 4 different ones that I could use
Mon, Apr 27 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I used the measurements of the modeled lightbulb to create a ring that fits around the middle of it and supports the shade.
Week 5
Fri, Apr 24 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I replicated my tentacles but I wonder if it would just be easier to laser cut/print them and put them in instead of copying and placing every one
Fri, Apr 24 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I experimented with how I could prop the shade up and I made a ring to go around the lightbulb. However, I don’t know where the ring would be around the lightbulb so I will have to figure that out in class
Wed, Apr 22 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
in class today, I started modeling the holes that will be on the side of the top of the lamp and I also remodeled my tentacles so they fit better with the shape of the top
Wed, Apr 22 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I did more research and watched youtube tutorials but none of them had the specific thing I needed. I am going to try in class to use the circular pattern tools or the sculpt tool. I used the ‘create form’ and managed to create the head
Mon, Apr 20 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I shelled out my dome and put it on top. I also tried to make one of the tentacles – to attach them once the lamp is done, I will drill a hole in the dome and in the tentacle, and I’ll thread some string through so when the lamp moves the tentacles can move too. Right now, the main thing I have to figure out is how to create the curved shape on the edge of the dome. I’m trying to use the spline tool then extrude + cut but it isn’t working
Mon, Apr 20 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I brainstormed what materials I would use for prototyping the lamp – I want to 3d print the top part and use wood to make the stand, for the tentacles I would probably use ribbon or 3D print it. Alternatively, so the light can shine through the top of the lamp, I could 3D print a structure then line it with parchment paper.
Week 4
Thur, Apr 16 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
we modeled the bulb in class together and I started modeling the base and top of my lamp
Thur, Apr 16 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework I modeled the base of my lamp
Tue, Apr 14 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I drew the life-sized sketch with measurements in class
Tue, Apr 14 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I did more research on the materials I could use for my lamp.
Week 3
Sat, Apr 11 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I finalized my design which is going to be a jellyfish lamp. I drew a sketch of it with its possible components, materials and functions.
Sat, Apr 11 HW – Image and description of completed homewor
For homework, I continued the design thinking process by drawing multiple ideation sketches I can use in class.
Tues, Apr 9 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
Problem statement : The objective of the project is to create a fully functional prototype as well as fusion model of a lamp with a lightbulb. In class today, I continued looking and inspiration – pictures and roughly sketched designs I liked but at the end I realized some of them may not be that feasible to do on fusion
Thu, Apr 9 HW – Image and description of completed homework
In class today, we started with a new project. We discussed the requirements for it – a fully functional lamp prototype with the lightbulb modeled in fusion. I began looking at inspiration pictures of how I want my lamp to be like.
Tues, Apr 7 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I finished the hinge and it can move back and forth and I joined the model phone to the stand so now it is completed
Tue, Apr 7 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I started the hinge but I was experimenting as I didn’t fully know how to do it.
Week 2
Fri, Apr 3 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
I continued modeling the phone stand in class today and I’m figuring out how to make a effective hinge.
Fri, Apr 3 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I changed the concept of my design but the dimensions of the phone stand itself were the same so I didn’t have to get too many new measurements.
Wed, Apr 1 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today I finished my measurements and began modeling the phone stand
Wed, Apr 1 HW – Image and description of completed homework
I sketched out my stand idea and measured for the basic dimensions.
Mon, Mar 30 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I finished modeling the iPhone and started sketching the ideas for the phone stand.
Mon, Mar 30 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I began modelling the camera and the smaller details on the phone.
Week 1
Fri, Mar 27 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I began modeling the phone in fusion 360 with an extruded camera, cardholder and buttons.
Fri, Mar 27 HW – Image and description of completed homework
For homework, I finished the drawing of the phone and began to model it in Fusion 360. I realized I was missing a lot of the detailed dimensions so I only had a basic phone and no buttons.
Wed, Mar 25 CW – Image and description of completed classwork
In class today, I sketched out the two sides of my phone and measured the dimensions.
Wed, Mar 25 HW – Image and description of completed homework
