 For some practice for the next part of my reverse engineering project I decided to take the little break that we had in class to make a mug. Some of the commands that we learned that day for example the Shell command I did not understand it enough to get it work. One command I thought I would struggle a lot with was the Sweep 1 and Sweep 2 commands. Found out they were pretty easy to use just gotta make sure your shape is facing the right way. To make the thickness of my cups I used Offset Srf command. It was great practice before rebuilding my kid toys binoculars. Here is my 2 cups in one final picture. Me lofting my second cup. Trying to make my 2 cups become one. My second cup final picture. I hope if I 3D print these that they would print out smoothly. I defiantly would question my 2 cup in 1 mug. Great practice. I mainly took my sketch ideas and drew half of the cup and used the fillet command to the corners then revolved it into a cup.   

After selecting an object to reverse engineering it was time to take it apart and measure it. The object that is up for sacrifice is a cheap par of binoculars made for kids.The hardest part about this project was that it was easy to get carried away with and not documenting it, hard to take some parts out with out breaking it, and forgetting how it all goes back together. One issue that I found with my object was that it was poorly made and most of my measurements are estaminets since the object is not built evenly in some parts. Here are the measurement in my book.   In this image is the digital caliber that I used to measure. My binoculars pretty much taken a part just one glass bit that did not want to come up and a pin that is keeping the two flap bit together  One way I used to measure inside depth was by using the end of the bit of the digital caliber. Measuring an inside diameter I used the top part. For the outside bits I used the bottom of the caliber. This is where I broke th
