Did a couple more scribbles before moving over to Fusion to draw up the parts: The pen will be secured in the center, inserted into the top two parallel rods that will act as a rail system for the pen holder to move back and forth, which will be controlled with a motor and a…… Continue reading WK 6 – Midterm Progress (cont’d)

Planning on designing and possibly 3D printing a test model of the new version of the pen carriage for my thesis / drawing machine. Some aspects I will include: Adjustable pen mount (similar to the holder on a Cricut or Cameo, see below) A rail system that the pen mount can move along A motor…… Continue reading WK 5 – Midterm Progress

For this exercise I worked off the reference photos for the Ikea watering can — I initially started by drawing circles to extrude upwards, but then changed my mind and drew a cross section of half of the watering can then revolved it to make it hollow inside. Then I added another sketch to the…… Continue reading WK 4 – More Modeling + Sweep

For this modeling exercise we worked off these reference images of an Ikea plant stand: At first I started off by drawing from the top view and revolving that into a circle pattern to make the three plates, then extruding from there. However, when I started to think about adding any details like fillets and…… Continue reading WK 3 – More Modeling

The first two modeling assignments were pretty easy to go through, with the third being the most challenging. It’s trickier without any measurements, so I imported the reference image as a canvas to sketch on top of it and use the different angles pictured in the diagram to get rough measurements. Side note, I wish…… Continue reading WK 2 – Modeling

I already had Fusion 360 on my computer as I tried to learn it last semester and was planning to play around with it over break (didn’t get a chance), however my Macbook is way back on OS Mojave, so I wasn’t able to get the latest download, so hopefully it should work out. Also,…… Continue reading WK 1
