 Final Blog Post: Milestone Projects Mesh Mashup: The original Tinkercad design for this was very different than the end result but I think that is what made this project successful. I ended up taking a bit of a mystical route in the design that gives the object an interesting narrative.  If I were to do this assignment again I would go back and smooth out some of the attachments such as the windows and lantern. In the final render the lack of detail got obscured. Or I would find a way to make the attachments on my own.  Papercraft Object: I had a lot of fun with this assignment and spent a lot of time on the details when working in Rhino. The only problem is that when printed some of the details were tiny and very difficult to piece together in real life. There were also a few structural and support problems when putting together the final design. I wish I had found a way to strengthen the bottom of the car in order to support everything on top better.  Hybrid 3D Mo...

 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.
