LAYERS PROJECT: Design: Originally I wanted to make a design where I could make different constellations and then utilize the layers to add depth. This eventually evolved to include a tiny astronaut’s mask. After test printing the layers, I decided to add planets in the reflection of the space suit. Once the printing was complete,…

Altered Toys Project – Vanshika
Hello! I was able to reprint my puzzle pieces, and now they fit!
Altered Toys Design – Vanshika
For the altered design project, I wanted to 3d print one of those brain teaser puzzles. I used to do a lot of those when I was younger. I tried to use the design of a more simple one, the star because it is essentially the same piece printed 6 times over. It took a…
3d Doodles – Vanshika
I used tinkercad to do the 3d doodles. I tried making plankton from spongebob! I clearly need to work on details haha.
Lantern Project – Vanshika
Here is the video of the LEDs behind in the shadow box. I ended up changing the design of Dr. Strange a little bit. But this is what the shadow box looks like! There were 4 layers. Although it did not turn out how I expected or originally wanted. I really liked the way it…
Lantern Progress – Vanshika
I made some cuts with the cardstock and then plywood for the shadow box. I like how the box looks, and will be painting it white for the final. In terms of the design on the cardstock, I am going to do some editing so I can add more detail to the layers.
Lantern Design – Vanshika
I had a new idea because I really wanted to experiment with the shadow box. Since I used acrylic for the last project, I want to try using cardstock. I will be making a shadow box for Dr. Strange Once I do test cuts, I will experiment with vector engraves on the cardstock because I…
Layers Project – Vanshika
Adjustments from test cuts and progress post decided to paint the middle layer added LED stand during the critique, it was suggested to try and add lines to enhance the constellations. I tried to laser that layer with the lines on it but I did not like the way it looked because it did not…
Layers Test Cuts – Vanshika
While working on inkscape, I decided to change up my original idea in order to add more details and layers. I decided to incorporate an astronaut because it brought out the stars really nicely. I kept the constellations as a layer because that was my original intention. Powers Used: ** I used 1/4 inch acrylic…
Layers Concept – Vanshika
For the layers project I really wanted to try using clear acrylic. I had the idea to try and laser engrave starts to mimic different constellations and then the layers would help add depth. I wanted to add something else besides starts so I decided on incorporating the planets (with pluto). I plan to have…
First Cuts – Vanshika Rohera
During the makerspace training I was able to cut the first drawing I made in inkscape. This was the result! For comparison, this was the original drawing on inkscape.
Vanshika’s Drawing 2 & 3
For Drawing 2 (Raster Engraves) I chose to draw black panther. I am a big marvel fan and so it was only fair to do something related 🙂 For drawing 3 using p5 code, I decided to settle with trying to do a spiral design. This was a fun drawing because it kind of looks…
Vanshika’s Drawing 1
I chose to draw a picture of a wave with the sun because it reminded it me of home. The beaches back home bring me a sense of calm which is something I tend to forget being at WPI.
