AUArts Object Design

 Finally finishing the Paper modelling project, I have created a final version of my papercraft trombone.  Compared to my prototype, I made the bell of my trombone thinker based on a critique I received on my prototype. I also added additional tabs in the slide so that it is more supported. Additionally, I created holes that would allow me to tab the support rods of the trombone more firmly to each other. Finally, there are small adjustments like adding missing tabs, refining tab placements and rescaling the objects to fit better into each other. I did make a miss one tab that connects the rods of the trombones to each other, and I also ran into a new issue with the larger bell making the trombone being a bit more lop-sided. The issues are minor and they do not affect the overall quality of the object too much.  In conclusion, I enjoyed making my paper trombone, and I am satisfied with the final product of the object. I hope you all stay well. 

Continuing the Rhino papercraft assignment from the Object Design class. I have finally printed off my object! I did however have to fix my object's design before printing, this was due to my original object being too small to construct something with. the new objects are mostly resized versions of my original object, however, the mouthpiece got redesigned to be closer to the size and shape of a real mouthpiece. With that, I made 2D templates, made tabs for my object, printed out the object, then finally constructed my object together to make my first prototype.  I have forgotten to make a few tabs in making the final version of the object. Surprisingly, the mouthpiece works very well, but the trombone itself doesn't work because it eventually allows too much of the air to escape. Design-wise, the mouthpiece barely fits into the Trombone, and the slide doesn't fit well into the object. I should redesign the object again for my final iteration of the object. Until next time,
