Outsource Wearable Object: Concept Generation

These are my concepts that I've come up with. I only did 16 initial ones because I felt like I had a set of very different idea's just playing around with different concepts.

Currently, I'm leaning towards 4, 9, 10, 12, and 14. Though #4 might be lacking some originality and stability in the design. #9 really depends on how it will look in 3D, could look very awkward when I throw it into Rhino. #10 seems a little basic, but I think it might look cool as a design that's exaggerated enough to not be an "everyday" ring, but not too crazy so it's still wearable. #12 I think would be pretty cool, I haven't seen anything like this design yet. Even though it's inspired by the wood and resin style of rings that create a night sky or flames inside the resin. I think that might be a cool design however, the materials that need to be used in that might not work since there's a variety of colour, transparency, and material. It would look unique rendered though. #14 seems like a metal welding project, which isn't terrible. But might be too simple or not crazy enough for a wearable object that's similar to a sculpture on a ring.

Overall I have 5 designs that have their flaws and have a unique look to them. In the end, maybe after the discussion and feedback, I could mash up two designs or revisit one of the rings to exaggerate it further.

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...

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 bo...

6) Parametric furniture Group Project (Final Week?)

Hello! This week has been hectic with exams and final projects going on. I believe our group hasn't done much cnc-ing since Friday. As of this moment that I'm writing this blog we have yet to begin the shelf from what I've heard. I've kept up with the Teams chat to see what's going on and if I could provide support digitally since the timing to meet up in person to sand and paint didn't work for me. The way our group split the workload, I was only in-charge of the digital portion of problem solving and designing. So this physical portion, I'm taking more of a back seat plus I'm busy with my studies since design students are still rushing their finals for an extra week compared to fine art kids. I contributed via Microsoft Teams chats this week. Update, during my class, people from team 2 have sanded and cnc-ed most if not all of the bench along with the first shelf piece.
