Layers Project For my first project, I made a layered version of my face. This was primarily done using Inkscape and Fusion Slicer. I have wanted to make this idea for about 5 years ever since I made a 3D scan of my face. The face itself is made of MDF since it is plain…

Cullen Jacene: Lantern Project Finished
I chose to make a lantern based on a retro TV playing the movie The Karate Kid. The front was traced in Inkscape, while the box was made using an online resource. All the pieces were made with kerfs in mind so that there is a tight fit. A LED strip was wrapped along the…
Cullen Jacene: Layers Project Finished
For the layers project, I took a 3D model of my face and made a hunting trophy plaque with it. This was done with Fusion Slicer which I used to get an adequate design that was then imported to Inkscape. I then cut this and the plaque I made into some wood from the makerspace…
Cullen Jacene: Altered Toy Project Finished
I redesigned a significant toy from my childhood, Thomas the Tank Engine, by making him into a tank. This required making a tank in Fusion and then adding an organic face with Meshmixer. Once printed in white, I then added acrylic paint to match the color of the original toy. This design has a play…
Cullen Jacene: Altered Toy WIP
This is my Thomas the Tank so far. As you can see there is no face yet. That is because it will be added later in ZBrush. The number in the back is Thomas’s Number in the same style as the show. Also, I want to mention that although the treads look unstable, I will…
Cullen Jacene: Altered Toy Design
I loved Thomas the Tank Engine as a kid, and it may be partially what got me into engineering. To put a spin on this, I dropped the engine from his name and chose to make a Thomas the Tank. I will geometrically make the tank in Fusion since I have easy access to it…
Cullen Jacene: Organic Doodle
For the organic doodle, I thought I would try to create a face since it is a rather tough form to make look right. I also plan to have a face on my final project and thought it might be good practice. Unlike my layer design, this is not modeled on any particular face, and…
Cullen Jacene: 3D Geometric Doodle
In preparation for the snowstorm tomorrow I made a snowman named Greg. He is comprised of 2 white spheres for a body, an orange cone nose, 2 black sphere eyes, a cylinder hat, and a barely visible torus base.
Cullen Jacene: Lantern WIP
I have taken my original drawing and separated them so that they are ready to cut. I added the kerfs to everything, and it should be ready to go once I get material. I increased the size of the acrylic so that it would go past the edge of the screen so that I can…
Cullen Jacene: Lantern Design
For the lantern, I plan to recreate a box TV from the 80s out of wood, then make a screen out of acrylic that will let light through. This should give the impression that the TV is on. I wanted something that had a strong emphasis on light and dark, so I temporarily put this…
