I was finally able to paint my the octopi and finish the toy. I printed five of them and painted them yellow because I wanted them to be a little different from the red monkeys but still capture the same bright colors of the original toy.

Here they are! They doesn’t work quite as well as I’d hoped (I need to figure out how to increase the tension on the wiper blades so they press tightly up against the goggles), but as a prototype and art piece they’re neat and serve their purpose. The goggles are standard safety goggles that fit…

My final altered toys project was designed in Solidworks and printed using PLA. I painted it with acrylic paint and used marker to add details. I posed my design in with the legos that I grew up playing with.

Finally got the final print! The first print has a tolerance that was too small, so I had to fix the model reprint it. I love how it came out and how I can actually use it as a crochet hook if I want to. My design is a Wii Remote accessory shaped like a…

I modeled the pokecube in maya and printed them in white pla on the ultimaker using the standard print settings. The airpods case…

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…

Lego Russell is finally done!!!!!! The painting and assembling took so long because the bricks are printing in different colors of pla which caused the spray paint I used to have different hues for each brick. This meant that I had to put a base coat and a ton of coats of just normal paint….
