Week 9 + 10: Papercraft Objects - Final Revision

 Week 9 + 10: Papercraft Objects - Final Revision

Over a period of 2 weeks we are to finalize the design and create the final for our chosen papercraft object.

I started off with adding and revising a few details:

  • Cut and rotated the sides of the car to create doors
  • Got rid of the fuel source on the back
  • Made the top part a flat surface
  • Added chairs, middle compartment, back wall with flux capacitor box attached, a wheel, headlights and taillights, and license plate
Updated Folded Design:



Renders:



Printing Template:


Here I added the few tabs that were missing from the previous design.

Final:




I had a lot more trouble putting this design together than the previous one for the prototype. If I were to redo it I would enlarge a few pieces. And I would also use multiple layers of cardstock on the body of the car to make it more sturdy since the final product is a little wonky. I am happy with how well it is all staying together since I used different glue. 

Towards the end I decided to make cut outs for windows that were not present in the initial printing template. I also took off the top of the seats because the template was very small and hard to fold.

Week 6: Papercraft Objects - Digital Samples

Image
 Week 6: Papercraft Objects - Digital Samples For this weeks assignment I created 10 faceted and unfolded forms in Rhino. Form #1: Square face attached to twisted square face with triangles. Form #2: Polygon attached to twisted polygon with triangles.  Form #3: Polygon attached to smaller polygon with thin triangles. Form #4: Polygon attached to long rectangle with triangles. Form #5: Long polygon with a pyramid attached at either side.  Form #6: Long polygon with a point on the end to look like a pencil. Form #7: Polygon attached to a larger polygon that is then mirrored on the other side.  Form #8: Two polygons with a shared side and is closed with triangles. Form #9: Square attached to smaller square that is then duplicated and mirrored on the other side to make an hourglass shape. Form #10: Long rectangle attached to other long twisted rectangle with triangles.

Week 11: 3D Printed Hollow Form Object - The Hybrid

 Week 11: 3D Printed Hollow Form Object - The Hybrid For this project we were to generate our own ideas for making a hollow object or vessel and then combine our concepts with a partner. Both partners design elements should be included but they can be revised in order for the 2 concepts to fit together better. Here are the concepts made: My partner Melanie's concepts:   My sketches for the hybrid: Practice Hybrids: Final Design: In the end we decided to use the "legs" that Melanie made and duplicate them so they would seamlessly connect to the star shaped vessel that I made. I really like how the design turned out. When we got into Prusa slicer we ran into a few problems. In the original design it connects perfectly and is self supporting without any gaps. When sliced the design generated a new base underneath that was not there prior to slicing it and gaps and cuts were made in the middle. We are unsure of how to get rid of this.
