All of the pieces are 3d printed and laser cut. However, I didn’t account for the width of the acrylic panels so no I have to sand them down in order to fit. additionally the top part is a little difficult to take on and off, but I think a little sanding should fix that.
Final Projects – Kaitlyn Nguyen
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…
Adam Buier – Altered Toys Project Finished
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….
Adam Buier – Altered Toys Project WIP
Currently all of the pieces for Lego Russell are printed, however I had to reprint most of the bricks because the top studs didn’t print. Additionally the tolerances are kinda bad which means either the fit of the bricks are too loose or too tight. I also have to finish painting the bricks, which they…
Adam Buier -Lantern Project Finished
This is my finished Minecraft inspired lantern. It’s made out of a 3d printed base which I painted black. Then there is frosted acrylic to diffuse the the fairy lights inside. when I made the CAD model I didn’t think the added layers of paint would make the top part so much harder to take…
Adam Buier – 3D Doodles Organic
This is the newest version of my 1lb combat Snow Plow. I made a couple iterations to the chassis to make it lighter and stronger and I thickened up the wheels to get more traction.
Adam Buier – Layers Project WIP
Currently I have all of the pieces cut out I just need to paint, stain and glue them together. I had a small issue that the smaller pieces would fall through the little grate in the laser cutter, but this meant that I had to cut more spare parts.
