[08.) BLOG POST: REVERSE ENGINEERED OBJECT: PROGRESS I]

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 the binoculars because I had no idea how the middle bit of the two flab bits came a part and I really wanted to know at that time. I broke the top off and then found out the bottom is just a screw bit. Might glue it back together another day.

Next part is to take the measurements and rebuild the binoculars in Rhino 7.

chess set

  https://www.measuringknowhow.com/chess-piece-sizes/ First I needed a simple image of a chess set to start understanding size and amount. Used the about image to help me out. Next step was I went straight to thinking about theme and items. I had thought about the TV show from Netflix The Queens Gambit and taking the simple items that is highly known to that show .  Next theme was The Simpsons  I was just going recreate the heads and hair. Next theme was trying to make a Glass blowing tool set. My ideas changed to trying to make a solid organic ish mash up with basic shapes. Moved quickly to making gears. Fast pace to stick men. Last idea was making parts of trees. Went back to my organic ish shaped and how I can put holes in them to add negative and positive bits. Having negative bits would make it take less time to make the print. I know the assignment has its rules but there was nothing more that I wanted to do but play with my idea of not having it water tight. I wanted light to es

BLOG POST: MILESTONE PROJECTS]

 My final blog post will be about MY growth.  My growth from never using Rhino 7, to taking 12 ish classes of using Rhino 7, to the multiple days and weeks spent out side of class hours playing and learning with Rhino 7. I do regret one thing and that is writing my hours of how much time I spent. From the Time I spent fighting Rhino. The time enjoying being on rhino. To the times it has crashed on me. Amount of time the Mac death wheel popped up. Sad moments of Rhino crashing. To the happy blog posts time I spent writing.  Time is MY GROWTH.  Here has what time has made me proud to say I made...  Other than one project. still frustrated with it. moving on. Please enjoy the quick recap 😁 First project The Castle Second project Surface design Design project part 2 Laser printer The top 2 stressed me out to much and made this baby instead. Pick an object to dismantle project part 1 Not the stress part.  Dismantle Object Part 2 measuring and sticking the measurements on the computer some

SURFACE DESIGN

Image
 My starting point to making a surface design was to find surfaces in the real world. Instead of going to some places I used some old photos. I all so used old knowledge and found some on the internet. As I was trying to think of surfaces I all so thought why not think about my major which is glass blowing, and how pattern and surface can be used in that art medium.  First what is a surface design. It is were there is a surface of some kind and is made to look a pleasing to catch views eyes. Sometimes surface design has a function other than to look ornamental.  Having surface design needs some type of pattern for example like a colour that has repetition. Shapes or lines that are symmetrical all so add to the surface deign since they are repeating. Even texture is a important surface design due to how light can add or take away a showdown or a highlight an area. Up top are some glass projects I have made. Making shapes and patterns where it is noticeable how the surface is highly impa
