For my layers project I chose to work with paper. I really like skulls and I love cats. I thought it would be cool to combine the two so I used my cat as a reference. The skull is anatomically correct and I used drawing references of an actual cat skull to model it. This…

The inspiration for my layers project was a lotus flower. I have always loved how dainty the flower looks floating on the water. As I started to model the flower in inkscape, I realized that I could also use the negative space created by the main pieces of the flower. My final layers project consists…

Layers Project: For the layers project, I wanted to cutout a piece that would resemble the monster icons from the Monster Hunter game. I choose Rathalos as it is usually the mascot of the series. I bought wood from the makerspace and colored the piece using acrylic paints I had on hand. I tried to…
Katherine Tse Altered Toys Project Finished:
For my altered toys project, I decided to recreate Barbie clothes with a twist. Instead of using the soft and flexible fabric that is normally used for clothes, I used hard and structured PLA filament. I think this provides a nice contrast to the original toy. I also wanted my piece to represent the fashion…

This was my first time working with edge lit acrylic so it was a great opportunity to experiment. The soldering on the bottom of this piece…

Here’s my finished toy! I created Jangle, a gravity-defining take on Jenga. I achieved this effect by manipulating the infill of one side of each block to make the blocks unbalanced. Unfortunately, the surface finish of these pieces were not as smooth as I would have liked them to be due to over extrusion, especially…
Samy Rosenberg’s Altered Toys Project Finished
For this project I wanted to put a twist on the sandbox I had as a kid. I used to have a turtle shaped sand box with a removable shell lid. When I would play in the sand box I would often leave toys like legos, barbies, transformers, etc. in it. Sometimes these toys would…
