3D Printed Hollow Form Object: The Hybrid

FIRESTORM CUP

For this project the task was to take both of our designs the cup from Piper and the fire from Me and combine them together to make one solid object/hybrid. Most of the designs are based on the idea on a swirling fire type cup. The hardest part about this was to try to make the fire take the shape of the cup and curve as well, in the end we decided after a couple of ideas to go with a non-curved fire cup.   


These are a couple of sketches on how were going to combine the project.




We had to make changes to the bottom of the cup due to the potential fail of the 3D printer not printing on slopes (too shallow on our other design), after revisions we added more support at the bottom so that it did not have a ledge or flat surface. For now this is the final cup design since it was our only option at the time.



We settled on the idea of a cup with two flames on each side as our last attempts was a flame in the shape of a cup. This posed many potential problems when it came to printing due to the make deep curves and shape of the model.




The final model is white and not transparent (but this is what it would look like as a small glass cup).

This is the finished printed design, Firestorm Cup

Laser Cut Coaster: Select, Refine, Design

LASER CUT COASTER (IDEAS) Idea: Mountain's This was probably one of the hardest projects in terms of it's simplicity (I could not decide on what to do), Coasters are simple, but my ideas were not coming out. For right now this is my design. The main material that I choose was a thin piece of Plywood, carefully cut and joined together to form a smooth, durable surface for holding cups with a base. The main challenge in this project was developing a movement mechanism,  the goal was for the coaster to tilt or move when pressure is applied to one side (for example, when a cup is placed on it) so that the opposite side would lift. This gravity-assisted motion concept is still being refined, as I continue to explore ways to make the movement smooth and balanced while maintaining the coaster’s stability.

CASTLE REFINED

CASTLE REFINED The biggest challenge for this project was the texture, folds and layout. Concept was sketched out in Rhino (mostly layout). The main comment from my peers was to include a roof with some windows or doors.  The roof was a tarp-like structure with folds (curves)

VOXEL MODEL (NASA SHUTTLE)

VOXEL MODEL SPACE SHUTTLE ATLANTIS During my visit to the Kennedy Space Center, I had the opportunity to see the Space Shuttle Atlantis up close. Motivated by this experience, along with my interest in space exploration and aerospace technology, I designed a detailed voxel model of the shuttle, carefully focusing on the structure, proportion, and key visual components.  (Astronaut Selfie) Anatomy of Space Shuttle/Operations 2 Solid Rocket Boosters - Located on both sides of the EFT Orbiter/Shuttle - Spaceship in the middle of EFT   External Fuel Tank (EFT) - Orange Structure STAY TUNED FOR MY NEXT PROJECT: The International Space Station (ISS).
