3D Object Design

 Reversed Engineered Object: Project II October 24, 2020 This week I finally managed to pull apart my entire object so I was finally able to get a close look at every small little detail without worrying about any small dimensions I couldn't get. This week I chose to do the second most challenging piece which is this contraption. And I also recreated the metal cylinder that holds everything together after realizing that it's actually two separate parts (ignore the tape I just used that so I can put it back together after finishing the project) Here's the progress on Rhino Part one is this top piece for the contraption shown above Part two is the actual hole puncher itself This is those first two parts put together Part three is the bottom piece of the contraption Here it is placed correctly with the other two parts The last part of this piece was the spiral And this is my final completed part The next piece I worked on was really quick and easy And here are all the parts th

 Reverse Engineered Object: Progress 1 October 18, 2020 For my project, I wanted to start off with one of the most detailed pieces of the hole puncher, the top.  So then I got started and began drawing out the top The arc itself here wasn't what I liked so I redid it and extruded the 2D drawings For this part, I had trouble with getting the correct angles and the fillet. So I ended up just removing that altogether and chose to leave it for another time. After some stress from the top piece, I decided to do some of the less detailed components that make up the hole puncher. And so I created the bottom and the metal cylinder that connects all of the parts together. I started to work on the bottom and this is what I managed to complete These are all of the components that I have completed this far. I also need to do one last curve for the bottom of the top piece. I will probably get all of the small components needed completed by next week after getting some pointers from Bryan for th

 Reversed Engineered Object: Selection October 12, 2020 The Reverse Engineered Object project is where we choose a mechanical object that is dissectable, then we must measure all of the different parts used to make up the assembly using a digital caliper. There must be no weapons of any kind and the object must be complex enough to complete in three weeks. Hole Puncher: I chose this hole puncher because of all the small details on the handle and the smaller amount parts compared to the others. I felt like this object would be the most challenging among the three listed here mainly due to the complexity of certain parts.   Mini Phone Tripod: I chose this mini tripod because it contains lots of components with interacting and moving parts. It is also small enough to be measured with the digital caliper easily. I felt like this would be a pretty interesting object to reverse engineer. I honestly couldn't be bothered to have every single small detail dimensioned at this stage, so I jus
