This was a great class to be a part of, and it was very beneficial for me to gain experience with the laser cutter and 3D printer. Thank you all for your feedback! Altered Toys ProjectThis project was about representing a toy from our childhood in a different form. I chose a Wii remote and…

Here are my first cuts, kinda to see where I started from. I had never used the laser cutter before so this was super cool. Here is my layers project. I really love how it came out. I like the colors I added and the depth that comes from the layers. Underneath is my Lantern…

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…

Lantern Project For my lantern project, I wanted to make a lantern with a somewhat spherical shape to it. I settled on a dodecahedron because I was fascinated by the geometric pattern. After the initial design, I decided to give it a rustic theme. I picked out a hemp rope wrapped cord and an LED…

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

Final Layers Project For my layers design I thought of making a windows screen with multiple tabs. What I did was I laser cut this all in plywood. Every tab was cut and placed in a different layer/height. Everything was inspired by old Windows99 tabs and games. I am really happy how this came out!…

Final Projects – Andrew Roush
Over all I’m pretty happy with how these came out. Some were unlikely to work and experiments for learning, if it isn’t perfect its to be expected. For my layers project I made a layered version of the 3lb combat robot I was making for the final project. This came out really well, I love…

Nicholas Orciani This concept was born organically whilst playing with the 3D modeling tool OnShape. Kinda ended up with a Death Star-type design and I like it.

Layers Project My layers project is based on a picture of Vernal Falls in Yosemite that I took with my best friend. I wanted to make something out of paper because of the color choices, low cost, and ease of assembly/finishing. I also based this design off of the works by Hazel Glass because I…
Final Projects- Art in the Makerspace
Layers Project: Map of Monterey Bay My first project was a layered map of Monterey Bay! I made the design in Inkscape and added small details for my favorite places. Each water layer was painted with different shades of blue. I had a lot of fun with this one! Lantern Project: Diffuser Light Box This…

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…
Lantern Project | Ani Ladd
I had a lot of fun with this project! I stuck to my original idea of making a case for my diffuser. Since it already had a color-changing function, I used it as my light component for the lantern. I edited the design from my last WIP to have five panels, each with its own…
Final Projects
Layers Project for this project I chose to create a multi-layered clock with working movement and fake gears to create the aesthetic of an older open face clock. the final project came out great and is currently hanging in my room at school. the only problem with the final design that I did not consider…
Layers Project | Ani Ladd
For my layers project, I made a layered map of Monterey Bay! In total, I used 8 cut square pieces of 1/8″ plywood from the maker space. Each water layer was cut in the laser cutter, painted with acrylic paint, and finished with Mod Podge. I painted the bottom layer with the darkest blue and…

Before and After transformation of my layers project. No one knew how it would look once it was assembled, including myself. I enjoy even how this simplistic idea, which was also very wood efficient, was able became something more dynamic and complex. One of the challenges was to make sure that the pieces would be…

For my layers project I created a diorama of Shin Godzilla, alongside with dilapidated buildings and the monster’s signature atomic breath. For my lantern project, I used acrylic to create a bust of Shin Kamen Rider. However, when the svg file was in retinaengrave, it changed all of my engravings into cuts. And for my…

My first cuts project ended up being one of my favourite pieces so I’m including it here too! This was just a simple vector drawing of my character Rosencrantz with raster engravings for shadows and colour difference. My layers project was based on the idea of an anatomical model that shows the skeleton under the…
Final Projects
My layers project is a topological map of my section of my home town of Woodstock Connecticut. I used different depths/powers of raster engraving to create the different layers with the different physical heights but also the different shades of burnt effects on the wood. I also vector engraved most of the roads and vector…
Final Projects – Lauren Faulkner
My layers project was made from frosted acrylic and wood. It is a “alien” tree, and the leaves glow when a light is shined on it. My lantern project was cut in colored paper and wood. It’s based on the song “Ptolemaea” by Ethel Cain, which has a very horror vibe. I’m very happy with…
Altered Toy Project – Lauren Faulkner
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.
Final Projects- Daniel Pacheco-Cruz
Lanter Project For my Lanterns Project I decided to go with a New York city type of theme. I used wood to make the box, paper to make a hollow glow effect with the RGB lights and foamboard to hold the paper up. I laser cut the paper and wood. I used an x-acto knife…
Altered Toys Design – Ian Cody
As a child I loved playing with Tech Decks. For my altered toys design, I am conceptual altering this toy by making a snowboard and snowboard park, instead of a skateboard.
