Final Projects

Layers Project: For this project, I used Fusion slicer to slice a hand I modified in meshmixer which was then cut out of scrap cardboard. The stand is made from scrap acrylic and has the lyrics of some of my favorite songs engraved on each of the outward-facing sides. Lantern Project: For this project, I…

Altered Toy Design Beckett

When I was a kid I used to make a bunch of lego stuff and throw them off a balcony to see what survived, I also liked trying to make parachutes to slow the fall but they never worked too well. So I made a mock-up for a lego parachute block, pretty simple kinda fun.

Lantern Project WIP post-Critique

Ok so since my last post, I’ve done quite a bit of work on this project and I’m just about ready to start actually cutting the acrylic once I can get my hands on enough 1/4 inch to make it all. Additionally, I’ve spent some time in fusion throwing together a quick enclosure for the…

Lantern Design WIP – Beckett Peale

For this project, I’m hoping to recreate the Steal Your Face symbol in 3ish D using bottom-lit laser-cut acrylic. The essential components of this project will include a box for holding each of the “slides” and three laser cut/engraved “slides” (Red, Blue, White/grey) as well as lights power supplies, and controllers. An additional aspect that…

Layers Progress WIP – Beckett Peale

Alright so since the last post, I got the design loaded into the fusion slicer and fooled around with the settings for a while. I quickly found that you can’t do much in the slicer without knowing exactly how large and thick your material is and since I was planning on making mine out of…

Layers Design – Beckett

For this project, I was really interested in creating a 3d sculpt (see inspiration below). I wanted a recognizable figure that was still a little challenging so I chose a hand flashing the devil horns sign (or whatever you choose to call it). I know this symbol has a lot of meaning in other cultures…

First Cuts – Beckett

For my first cuts, I cut out the climbing shoe design and waveform bitmap conversion for my first cuts. they turned out alright ish, mainly the defects were due to my lack of competence in Inkscape but yeah not too much to say here although I’d have loved to cut the spirograph the file (15…

Drawing #2-3 – Beckett

For my second drawing, I recreated a cool-looking wave I had taken a picture of on my scope, I used the bitmap conversion tool for this so it was a trail of sorts. It turned out alright ish, the depth of the original image is hard for me to translate into this medium due to…

Drawing #1 – Beckett Peale

A quick outline of my favorite pair of climbing shoes, not too deep or anything just a good pair of shoes. More specifically these are the Evolv Shamans but that doesn’t really matter too much, aside from the fact that I’ve always liked the fit and style of the shoe. For the actual drawing itself,…

Introduction & Portfolio

Hello, I’m Beckett Peale from Portland Oregon. I’m currently studying RBE and doing some art on the side when I’m motivated. Most of what I do I wouldn’t necessarily consider art per se more messing around in the shop but the end product often has some sort of artistic element to it so we’ll call…
