Since I always want a LEGO mug since I was 3, sadly the first and only time I went to Legoland they were out of stock, so by the power of Tinkercad I decide to create one my own. The mug design is pretty simple, and for the handle, it is a combination of 2…
sameer: toy design update
I used a Charmander 3D model and added other models I found for sunglasses and a microphone in TinkerCad. Charmander model: https://www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-print-models/art/sculptures/charmander-pokemon Sunglasses: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/a367IcaEfeA-sunglasses Microphone: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/2tdzmuizh93-prop-microphone Then I loaded the model into MeshMixer and lowered the poly count. There were some errors with self intersection in the model which I found with Inspector in Analysis…
Altered Toys Design: Shane
When I was a kid, I had a Batman Pez dispenser. It was super cool. Now that I’m older, I no longer have the need to carry candy around with me all the time. But what I do need to carry is my dietary pills for my gluten intolerance. So my plan is to make…

Evil LEGOs For this project I decided to take the annoying tendency LEGOs have of stabbing unsuspecting feet and make it worse. I’m modifying the top nubs on some standard LEGO bricks to have spikes so they look as awful to step on as they feel. To turn it into more of a cohesive art…
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…
Altered Toys Design
For my design, I thought of the most basic toy I could think of : a ball. I thought a lot about the ball and how they are usually bouncy and round and how you can bounce them off surfaces. For my alteration, I decided to add a bunch of spikes to the ball, essentially…

Iris: Altered Toy Design
Thinking about childhood toys I remembered this funny little beanie baby that I had gotten around Halloween.. All I remembered was calling him “Plumpkin the Pumpkin” I know I needed to alter him someway but I was sure how would make sense for me… then (with my moms help) I remembered I was obsessed with…
Altered Toys Design
One of the board games I played with my family a lot when I was younger was Chinese Checkers (or Stern-halma). It’s a 2-6 player game and sorta has the same rules as regular checkers with a few exceptions. For this project I wanted to recreate my own board for 2-6 players. In the past…
Altered Toy Design | Kat Valery
When I was initially thinking about the Altered Toy Design, I was quick to think about how I would want to make a posable dragon. Dragons were a big part of my childhood, I have smaller figurines of them and when I would play with Legos, I would end up building dragons out of the…
Toy Design – Imogen Barnes
For my toy design I related two characters that I loved growing up: Bagpuss and the Bandersnatch from Alice in Wonderland. Bagpuss is from an old British show about a toy cat that lives with a little girl in a broken toys shop. At night Bagpuss comes alive with all the broken toys. I had…
Altered Toys Design – Jakob Sperry
For this project I chose to show my my childhood of making Rube Goldberg machines have played a role in shaping me as an engineer. Through playing with my hands and making assemblies of subassemblies that all have to work together to preform a simple task i learned about my love for making and designing….
Alexander Breiling Altered Toy Design
I’ve played a lot of Dungeons and Dragons and really enjoy fantasy as a genre, so I decided to create a model of a dragon to be used as a tabletop figure, either for playing D&D or as a marker in a board game.
Final Lantern Project
I had a small mishap where I glued the lid on the box, but was able to rip it off mostly together and reglue some of the pieces. I ended up wrapping the LEDs around a piece of water bottle, I probably should have just gotten a lightbulb but I’m not sure it would have…
Altered Toy Design – Emily
The toy I chose to do was a parody of Candy Land. I might end up switching this idea to a different board game or toy but I’m not sure, also because I’m not sure if a board game can count as a toy. I tried to think about the toys/games I played as a…
Alexander Breiling 3D Doodles
I was just messing around on Tinkercad and Zbrush and came up with these designs
3D Doodles – Amanda Smith
I was inspired by Leona’s Eve and decided to make the counterpart Wall-E, or a much simpler version of him, in TinkerCad. With Zbrush, I started out with a plan to make a little octopus but I ended up making an elephant.
Lantern Project (Updated 5/16/21) – Amanda Smith
I changed my design a lot since the original version. I didn’t have enough wood to print out the last panel, and the last panel is just a mirror image of the flower panel shown below anyways. There must have been some knots in the wood because parts on the flower as well as parts…
3D doodles
I have had a really difficult time using the 3D programs, but especially the Zbrushcoremini. I’ll definitely be using tinkercad for my toy redesign project!
3D Doodles- Hannah
I decided to play around with the ball hinge idea and create an elephant that can be flexible via the ball hinges.
3D Doodles – Imogen Barnes
These are my 3D doodles – the goat I made in ZBrush and the robot, which looks kind of like the one from Incredibles, I made in tinkercad (yes, there is a face of Abraham Lincoln on its head).
