3D Printed Stuffs

It will take anywhere between 10 minutes to 12 hours to print an object inside of a 3D printer.
It will cost $45 per kg of reel or 45cents per meter of reel
It will come from a 3D printer company
You will need to send the dimensions, materials, CAD drawings and the adress(most likely)
They will use ABS or PLA for the 3D print. ABS have higher melting points and less adhesive while PLA has a faster cooling time, better sticking power, creates a smoother piece and a faster printing time.
Depending on what printer model they use it can be less than a cubic foot in volume up to 5 cubic feet.
Pros;Faster, more durable
Cons; More Wasteful
The 3D printed I received did not meet some of my expectations. My printed object looks very good though.

Final Blog Post


I have been working towards the goals I set out at the beginning of the year. I have completed several of these goals but most importantly I have learnt enough skills to use in the outside world.
I now know that designing things can be tedious and take a long time to get one part. I also learnt that there can be many ways to view an object made.
I do not know what I will learn in Principles of Engineering but I will try and learn different techniques to help me.

Maker Faire

1. The table should have a banner that says our game title. There should be two or more computers so that more people can play at once. There should also be a poster documenting our work and showing our goals.
2. My goal was CAD-ing several parts. I made the armor pieces and some other parts. I started with this after I finished creating a map for the game and now I have made many pieces.
3.We met most of the requirements except the timeline was not met.
4. Everyone should have been more involved with the game as opposed to some people doing nothing or pretending to do something.
5.My greatest achievement during this process was learning more about CAD-ing objects.
This is all of the work I've done

Weekly Progress 2

 During this week I struggled to add textures to curved surfaces, but after some research I was able to find out how to add texture. I finished the armor pieces on the top and the bottom. The color is not going to be the actual color but these are all the different angles of the pieces.

Weekly Progress


 During this week I struggled to make the chest piece of the characters. I made several mistakes and ended up with two decently looking chest pieces. On Monday I was able to finish the skirt.

This is one of the better looking chest pieces.

This is another of the chest pieces. I think it looks slightly better but it may not fit with the story.









This is a failed attempt at the chest piece. It was very uneven but it came out decently at the end, however I did not notice the unevenness so I attempted to fix it but could not.
This is the finished for the character. It is around the same measurements as the failed attempt but this can be worn by most people.

This is a failed attempt at the skirt. It was too big for any person to wear.

Maker Faire Reflection

During the week I was able to sketch out some of the parts for the guards or player. I began to work on the lower part of the armor but I was not able to finish. I wish I could have helped out more during the week. My goal for next week is to find the missing map if it has not been found already and to finish the lower part.

Maker Faire Design Team

For the FPP I would want to be either part of the art team or the user interface/user experience team. I would want to be part of these teams because I have several years of experience with video games so I knows how the mechanics and environment would work.

Activity 7.1




Size dimension is different from location dimension because size dimension describes the size of each geometric feature while location dimension describes a point on a geometric figure. Datum dimension is where a single point is used as a reference point for all other figures while chain dimension is connecting points to make a figure. Chain dimension usually results in smaller parts. Dimension drawings and a written description are similar because they both show the general idea, however they are different because dimension drawings show specific detail and a picture in front of you while the written description only gives you an idea.

Maker Faire: Game Brainstorming

This a game about a samurai trying to save his cousin, the princess of his province in Japan.

It was developed after the game Resident Evil borrowing horror elements of the franchise. The team of Campcom developers was led by Jun Tekeuchi.

Capcom led by Jun Tekeuchi

It was created to entertain people.

This game is intriguing to me because I grew up with it in my childhood.



The Cutscenes

Instant Challenge Car


I would change this model by making the propeller stick to the car without jamming to the wheels. I would cut the axles to make is it closer to the car making it roll more.

Visual design principles and elements impact the sales of a product because when the product is not attracting it sells less than its attractive counterpart.
The product function is represented.
They preform reverse engineering to find put how a product is made without them knowing how it was built in the first place, they  use reverse engineering to rebuild a product but making it better in the process. Reverse engineering is using an object and taking it apart while noting how everything works individually, after that you begin to rebuild it to understand how it was built and works while also making minor adjustments
I would make the cars more visually appealing to allow for more sells. To build a visually appealing car while also keeping the costs down, I would make it slimmer and add more detail.

CAD Model Features


 I finished the passenger base and I got halfway through the passenger section
The most challenging part was figuring out the distance between points
Everything else was easy
Why does CAD take so long to open?

Shelter post

1. Triangles and pentagons were used in the design. We used triangles since  they are the strongest shapes and pnetagons because thats how they ended up when we used the pentagon
2. The angles that resulted from the triangles and Pentagon's were 60°
3. The overall surface area was about 44 inches. I would cover this with steel walls to protect the insides
4. The interior was about 50 inches so about 100 people would fit inside if the scale was 1 inch to 1 foot (two floors)
5. I took into consideration the amount of force it would sustain however I did not use any of these in the determining the design
6. Form follows function was considered in this creation by making the "dome" in between very long and very tall. This building takes into consideration that people would have to hide if this was a fallout shelter and this building makes it blend to trees with the same height and a thick width.

How do you make a cone post

How do you make a cone?
Making a cone in inventor is basically building on a circle
Use the Video for more info
In a short summary make i triangle using the line function and right click on the inner leg and use the revolve function once your in the revolve function click the inner leg again and a cone should show as the preview select the cone and you have a cone

This is what my partner helped me do: a torus, cylinder and sphere (not using the sphere option)

Everyday Fixing Reflection Post

The color of this is supposed to be a black metallic look, the size and shape is actual size to help move the chair into a better position.
I made this by using a metallic or PVC pipe that is about 1/4" then make a flower shape then connect it to the school desk chair to allow you to make the position
This meets the requirements by improving the way students learn to make sure that they get the best posture without straining their body. It also adds a cushion to prevent posterior injury and pain.
This reminds me of being lazy at work
This is similar to a reclining chair however, it is unique because you can change the 'desk' part to suit you if your left or right handed and it also allows you to write in the optimal position by turning the knob. Since everyone write differently and in different positions this allows you to be in a better position to write.
This could be better by making the chair more stable to prevent falling down.

Cube Reflection

1. It is important to model an idea before making a prototype because it allows you to see any flaws with your idea and it allows you to get constructive feedback on your idea
2. I used none of the restraints
3. When a person says "I used a design process to solve the problem at hand" they mean that they went through a process or cycle that involves brainstorming, sketching (isometric, multi-view, and 3D), creating a prototype, building and testing. At first I created an idea that I later sketched into something that would look like the finished product. After that I made a 3D view with inventor to represent the cube.
4. The puzzle solution is not affected by the gender of the person solving the puzzle because the person that is solving it has a different approach than the others.
5A. The younger people solve the puzzle faster than the older people. All my people that solved it were younger than the people that didjt solve it.
B. A(age)=1/2y(puzzle piece)x^2(minutes by minutes)
C. 3=1/2(5)x^2->1/2(5)(3)^2=1/2(5)(9)=1/2(45)=22.5 minutes
D. 95=1/2(5)x^2->1/2(5)(95)^2=1/2(5)(9025)=1/2(45125)=22562.5 minutes or 16 days
E. The first one makes sence but the second doesnt because 16 days is too long for any one person but 22.5 minutes is logical
F. 60 minutes
G. 15.6 minures, 20 minutes and 3.7 minutes

Fling Machine

To make our machine better i would add more support towards the corks so that it wouldn't be as unstable as it usually is falling off the corks. It would make it better to have it stable enough to keep the corks from separating. Overall the design was good but due to time constraints it wasn't as good as it could've been.

Cubes



There is an abnormal bell curve with the left side slowly increasing and then the right side drastically falling

These are all the pieces of my puzzle, I chose these because they seemed complex to figure out
