Final Project Update: I decided to multiple the bottom peg size by 1.075 to make it a little bit easier to join them together without as much sanding. Also, I added holes running from the bottom to make them lighter, and to make them sound more like Legos when I held a bunch together and…

Altered Toys Project WIP (Jonathan Amirault)
For this project, I went for a blend between 2 of my favorite interests as a child. Both Legos and the intricacies of puzzles was always so interesting to me as a kid. For this project I created a traditional 2X4 studded Lego with altered top caps as connecting pieces. When I first printed these,…

Here is my snowboard “Tech Deck” park print. I am happy with how it came out. I only ran into trouble while removing the supports, but was able to get them off with a knife. My question is if I should also print a Tech Deck, or use a real one, and take the wheels…

The size is really small because it’s a monopoly token.

My altered Toy is a Ladybug pin! When I was younger I always wanted to make a pin myself, and this project allowed me to finally do that! I designed the model and then sent it to the maker space to print. Once it was finished, I coated it with Mod Podge and painted over…

This is my altered toy project. Unfortunately I didn’t have much time to decorate it, so it looks pretty rough. I used a mix of fabric, paint, and paper to cover it. If I had more time, I would include many more small details, and I would probably reprint it with some changes.

For this project I chose to create lego bricks with the added alteration of objects inside the legos. these legos act as a symbol for the building blocks that make up me, pulling inspiration from things that I have done and care about. I created multiple designs and sizes for the pieces along with original…
Altered Toy Design – Fidget Keychain
There is a 3D printed baring that was printed to fit. However it did not go to plan. The baring was to big to fit in the device so I had to sand down the key chain part to fit the baring in snugly so that it could also spin.

I finished designing my gearbox and will be printing it sometime this week along with the dancer model shown in the previous post. The gearbox is shown below, and the close up photo shows where the dancer connects to thee spinning platform. The circular holes in the housing are where 3d printed bearings will be….

I decided to use Tinkercad and add a few pre-existing designs to create a heavily-modified model car, since hot wheels are some of my favorite toys when I was 6.

2/20/23 – I printed the first versions of the pieces of my HEX Bug NANO and the inner plate printed very well but the outer structure did not. I decided to make the inner plate out of clear PLA so that I could potentially put fairy lights inside if it looks good so that I…

2/20/2023 – So far on this project I have completed a small scale 3D print test to visualize the model in real life while achieving low print times and low filament usage. I had some issues with the small pin features snapping off, but tree supports worked great for printing my oddly shaped parts. Question:…
Altered Toys Critique – Samuel Kierstead
I am very happy with this first print! It fully functions as I intended and turns quite smoothly with minimal resistance. I did have to design and print one additional gear (the big one) because I put too much stress on the original Lego one. The 3D printed one is much stronger and holding up…

I was able to get into the lab and use Solidworks to create my fidget. I am planning on using a ball bearing to make the top spin. I have also added a screw fidget on one side of the bar and a magnet fidget to the end of the staff. As seen below I…

I sat down for about 4 hours and sculpted my Littlest Pet Shop. I am waiting for tomorrow to get the full user training for the 3D printers before I bring the model into 3DPrinterOS and check it out, but I don’t anticipate major problems. The body, head, and neck peg (not shown) are 3…
