Oops I forgot to post last week, so here’s what I would have said: This week I finally got around to laser cutting my acrylic at the makerspace, and it went pretty well after I did some test cuts and found a good laser power to use. Here you can see the three layers I…
Tarang Shah’s Polish and Present Post
My project is in Fuller labs now. I’m not sure what more to say about it. It would be much cleaner for the wires to go from below, but it’s too difficult to make that happen with these tools (NXTs).
Tarang Shah Everything working blog post
I posted this late because I completely forgot to take videos of my project (so I brought my stuff to class, since I couldn’t show it in the day), and attached the videos of everything working here. I do get patterns on the wall, but I was hoping for stronger colors from the cels. Interestingly,…
Last Progress Update – Amanda Smith
After some failing and re-familiarizing myself with laser cutting, I have the enclosure for my sculpture cut and sanded, I just need to seal the edges and paint it black. The hand sculpture is being pieced together, here are some chunks.
Matt Johannesen – Polishing
For this week’s progress meeting, I was able to get magnets, more 1/8″ wood and card stock to make some layers for my final light box. (As a reminder, I’m basing these new slides of one of my favorite games, INSIDE.) In this iteration, I swapped out the thicker 1/4″ wood with 1/8″ wood, and…
Adam Murrison Polishing Post
I was able to create a rough build of what I hope for the final project to look like. I am really liking how the project is so far coming out, especially with the laser cut acrylic incorporated into the piece. I discovered that I would need some sort of shutter, whether that be a…
Slater Campbell – Polish and Present
My actual progress toward “polish and present” came a couple days after this post was due, but I’ll save that part for next week. Laser cutting in Washburn went far better than I expected. Over the weekend, I spent a substantial amount of time splicing together the rest of my LEDs, making a solderable breadboard…
Darius Luo – “Polishing”
After some hemming and hawing, I decided to give up on my soda can idea and use mostly clay. I will later cover the clay with labels from plastic bottles. For this week, I focused on creating the silhouettes. Although they aren’t where I want them to be yet, this is a good start. I’m…
Casey Gosselin – Everything “working”
This past week has been a magical series of ups and downs. I managed to finish printing everything and applied the one way mirror film to each piece of acrylic. After that came installing the LEDs. This took quite some thought due to the unique shape of the mirror. In order to control each LED…
Katie Rodriguez Failures, Working, Polishing
Its been a while since my last official post due to some unforeseen technological difficulties. Its been a little hard to update a blog post without any visual representation of my art. The pictures seen in this post still will not be up to the standard I would prefer because I have to take them…
David Mahany – “Everything” “Working”
I realized I never published my post for last week so here it is: My main goal for this week was getting my first iteration of 3D printed parts completed so that I can print the final ones next week. Originally I wanted to try to work on finishing the electronics this week as well…
Everything Sorta Kind of Works
This week I drew out my designs for the lights and power. All of my materials have arrived so I can start piecing everything together. I’ll be laser cutting soon, so I can begin putting it all together base and laser cut acrylic.
