This is the post for all 3 of my final projects! First is my lantern project! It is a vaguely mushroom shaped lamp that is a shadow projector, projecting silly creatures, notably a snail and moth, as well as stars to the wall! It started with a quick sketch in procreate and then the pieces…

Layers Project Final – Kaitlyn Nguyen
Here’s my final layers project! It ended up being a very small and simple project but with emphasis on fit, as the pieces are not just simply glued onto the layered base but fitted with slits and then glued for stability. While simple I really like how it looks, just a simple diorama, nothing crazy….
Altered Toy Final – Kaitlyn Nguyen
After 2 failed attempts and some annoying re-dos to the CADing, This is my final altered toy project! The last two prints and interactions, the links would break and it would be super stiff. The main change I made was to lower the links to be level with the printing plate instead of in the…
Lantern Project Finished – Kaitlyn Nguyen
This is my finished lantern project! I revisited the parts in solid works, specifically the side pieces for the rounded dome of the mushroom, to make them fit properly. It isn’t perfect but significantly better than my last iteration. The “stem” is just a series of circles cut from wood in decreasing size. I ended…
Altered Toy Project WIP – Kaitlyn Nguyen
So far I have attempted to make the figure in solidworks! This is what it looks like. I am still very unsure if the connectors will print properly but we will see!
Altered Toy Design -Kaitlyn Nguyen
My idea for this project is based on all those wiggly fidget toys, but Ill be making a worm version in solid works! Here’s a super messy concept sketch! I have never done something with moving parts as a single print in place piece before so this would be a very fun learning experience for…
Lantern Project WIP – Kaitlyn Nguyen
Here is my WIP for lantern project! My first shot wasn’t super great as some parts didn’t fit right, but here is my attempt at assembling. I plan on retrying with different dimensions. The led light dose indeed shine though the bug patterns which was good. I’m not sure if I plan to add color,…
3d geometric doodle – Kaitlyn Nguyen
I took an into to CAD class so I am fairly familiar with solid works so that is what I used, just some random part.
3D organic doodle-Kaitlyn Nguyen
This is a bit late and I didn’t go too crazy because I was not a huge fan of doing this but I ended up with a silly simple little critter and I like him so this was my little messing around in ZBrush.
Kaitlyn Nguyen: Lantern Design
I want to make a half mushroom, cut in half. It would be hollow in the cap where a little light will sit and some wooden pieces of some critters. In theory the light should shine though the back projecting the creature shadows to the wall so from the front its just a mushroom lamp…
