Altered Toys Design – Ana

My idea for this toy is to make a somewhat realistic version of the character piranha plant. I took a venus flytrap and then tried to combine it with the piranha from Super Mario games. I plan to make the jaws movable with servos and also paint them like in the Mario games. I am…

Altered Toys Project

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…

Altered Toys WIP – Harris Brancazio

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…

Altered Toys Design – Harris Brancazio

For my project I decided to create a model plane that is perpetually broken. As a child I bought and built many model planes and would always end up crashing and having to repair them. For this project I thought it would be funny to have a plane that comes broken and could never be…

Layers Design + WIP

I decided to build this piece around the concept of trust being a gift. I cut out two of my three layers, but one of them refused to cut, so I’ll probably redraw the design and cut that out. I wanted to apply a layer of gold paint to the base layer, but I’m not…

Altered Toys WIP – Percy

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…

Altered Toy Design Reyhan

My Idea for the altered toy design project is based of the Wii remote, since I used to play a lot on the wii as a child. Nowadays, the wii is obsolete and this design is meant to be a symbol to represent that as it depicts a wii remote leaning sadly against the wall.

Altered Toy Design – Amanda Jones

I was obsessed with Percy Jackson as a kid and always wanted some of the stuff in the book. I wanted to model Poseidon’s trident and make it a fidget spinner. I don’t have access to CAD software so I drew it up but I will be using the school’s resources to design and print…

3D Doodles Organic

for this project I chose to try and recreate the moai statues in zbrush. Below is a reference photo and screenshot of my work. zbrush mini seems to be a hard program to use and took some time to get something resembling the statues.
