3D printed Object

Coming with this long-anticipated blog post, I have worked and finished on The Last object class project. The class project required the class to make a hollow 3D printable object on Rhino. The program that was also used to print the object was called Slic3r. 

There is also an additional twist to the project, the class was grouped into pairs and each student are to collaborate to make a combined hybrid object. 

I was paired with Shou Liu, and you can see her side of the process on her blog page: https://yeqiii020220.blogspot.com/

I was a bit late when the project started, and Shou already made the six required hollow objects. Being a bit late however allowed me to make my objects in response to hers rather than blindly going in. I decided to contrast the rounded and spherical objects with sharp geometric objects. 

 


After finishing my objects, Shou chose some of the objects and made concepts of which ones to combine.


Afterwards, we combined the objects together. This was a bit more complicated to do because the objects had a hard time combining together with the command Boolean Union. We eventually manually worked on the object and finally finished making our object 






The object came out well, and it even has leg-like features when it is upsidedown. The only issue I wish I could fix is to have a workaround with the bottom holes. Aside from this, I am very satisfied with my object and enjoyed working and meeting with Shou (more formally).

Rhino Paper Modeling

 Following the Rhino surface modelling lesson, the Object Design class was taught how to make flattened surfaces of our 3D objects into printable construction sheets.  The class was taught how to make our surfaces into 2D vectors, how to make flaps so that we could use them to glue our objects together, and how to print our object on Rhino.  From the way flaps are made in Rhino, I noticed that flaps are not that strong, and can easily break if there is too much stress on those parts. I decided that I would redesign my object so that each connection point is more secure. I decided to make the object closer to the octagon shape like the mouthpiece and made the joining points of the tubes at a 45-degree angle. After this, I added the flaps to each of my objects, then printed it out for the next class One thing I didn't notice while I was modelling in Rhino was that I didn't know that the objects were smaller than what I expected. I would like to try making to trombone lager, and e

               In Object Design course at AUArts, I watched a documentary called Objectified by Gary Hurwitz. The video talked about the process in which objects are made, the range of common objects like toothbrushes, to more elaborate computers and smart devices. The documentary can be considered mundane because people are both used to common objects and not giving much thought to them. However, the thoughts, philosophies, and elaborate brainstorming that each designer in the documentary show are constructed deeply and have a resonating impact. Each object's design is given special care to make people's life convenient and appeal to their aesthetic sense. These objects leave a mark on the world and show a part of their designer to everyone who uses it.  Although it wasn't necessary for the assignment, I decided to start with some sketches and brainstorming. I was inspired by Naoto Fukasawa, one of the designers in Objectified . He explains about interaction design that th
