Reverse Engg Object: HD Render and Exploded View

This reverse engineering project was about learning the tools of rhino by creating an object of our choice digitally. Using a calliper and precise measurements, we were to create a replica of a mechanical object to be pretty much exact. With the limitations of no organic or soft objects, no weapons, and must be complex/simple enough to finish within the three-week frame.

I chose an old pair of scissors as my object to replicate. It started out simple, though it was harder than I thought to wrap my head around a pair of scissors than I thought. Maybe it was because I had a year break in between last year's 3D modelling and rendering, but for the smallest things, I couldn't process for hours. This project took at least 11.5 hrs to do. I got stuck in some places like the angled blade, curvature of the handles, and finding the smallest slip-ups that caused an open shape. I know I had drawn some parts separately but when I tried to assemble them and boolean-split the screw, some of the pieces had to be mirrored so it faces the right way after. Also with aligning, I had to separate and re-align parts of metal pieces so I can make that indent inside the handles.

Overall I'm happy with how they turned out. I'm surprised by the details that showed through, like the extremely small text and logo that was 0.18 in height. Even though I had some stressful moments, I think it was great to finally push myself to think in 3D again.

Memorial Jewellery Documentation I

Hello! It is technically the "summer" and I have an assignment to create a death artifact for a deceased character. I've dug deep into my childhood to find Ember McLain from the Nickelodeon animated series 'Danny Phantom'. She passed away as a teenage aspiring musician in the early 1970s in Amity Park America. So I thought it'd be cool to mash up the American 1970's early punk era with the formal memorial diamond/jewellery death artifact. I came up with some sketches after researching the different types of diamond cuttings and earring designs I could go with. Since Ember wore a purple dual earlobe set throughout the show, I thought I'd also create a memorial earring set that follows that theme. Following her colour palette of blue, purple, black, and grey, I ended up choosing the blue memorial diamond option since it was better than the black synthetic gem for a family memorial piece. Then I paired it with silver for the rest of the earring design si

3D Printed Object: Hybrid Design

Concept Generator: These were the outcomes of what I had for generating concept, some of mine wouldn't fully work when I really thought of how the 3D printer worked. Only the flat coned shape and 3 rings fully worked, and it matched with my groups' the most since their shapes were mainly in a cylinder-like. Combining Group Objects: I was in a group with Adam and Siwon. Out of our three designs, Adam's had the more sturdy base design so the 3D Printer could hold everything together. Siwon's design was a more decorative angled vase shape, like diamond-cut edges. My design, placing it into Slic3r separately, I could tell the rings immediately didn't look as sturdy as we wanted. So mine has the most changes or reconsideration in how that would end up printing. We had to make sure the rings interlock with the base and each other so that the printer would keep everything into one piece without falling apart mid-print. Initially, we had Siwon's in t
