Hello everyone! This is a summary of the 3 projects I was able to finish this term. First up is the layers project. I wanted to do a fun, cartoonish dinosaur scene that I could turn into a wall decor piece for my apartment. I had fun learning how to use the laser cutter for…

Altered Toys WIP – Laura Pellowski
I have decided to make two more cow shapes, in addition to the original Cowcube. Here is a screenshot of the tinkercad file: We now also have Cowcone and Cowcylinder! And here are them after 3D printing and removing the supports. The supports were annoying to take off, and I definitely didn’t get it perfectly…
Altered Toys Final – Laura Pellowski
Hi everyone! Here are my altered toys in their final state: My concept was to give a spin on my childhood stuffed animal, Cowball. Except instead of a ball, I did other shapes. I ended up with a Cowcube, Cowcone, and Cowcylinder. And they’re stackable! I tried really hard to get the paint to look…

Hello everyone! Duck is pretty much done: My inspiration came from a duck light I already had (see family portrait below). I have a small collection of animal lights, and I wanted another one to add to my collection. I also thought it would be cool if I could put a heart in it, and…

Lantern WIP – Laura Pellowski
I have ordered my acrylic and am working on getting all of the layers arranged/cleaned up. I still have to add the 3D heart, but I will do that after I finish with the actual duck layers. If anyone knows how to get rid of those extra pages when you import a pdf into Inkscape,…
Lantern Design – Laura Pellowski
I want to create a 3-D duck lantern out of acrylic. I don’t know how to use CAD well enough to make a duck, so I figured I would 3D scan a duck (or duck shaped object) and then slice the scan to get layers that I can cut out on the laser cutter. I…
