Project 2, Progress Post 4

Fusion is incredible. I'm so happy with how the drink coasters turned out. I hit a few bugs along the way, but I'm thankful I didn't have to do a another total restart. At the very least, I can say I'm a pro with the spline tool and cutting into objects.

Game of Thrones;
House Sigils

Star Trek; Spock

The end tweaks were difficult because the faces didn't want to push/pull after being cut into, so I ultimately adjusted dimensions by making use of combining objects with the intercept feature.

Dragons

Phoenix on Fire

If printing these goes half as well as creating, I'd say it was a successful project. Here's hoping Meshmixer doesn't ruin anything while fixing the mesh.

Coaster Dimensions: Diameter, 4.4 in /// Height, about 0.4 in
Holder Dimensions: Inner Diameter minimum, 4.75 in /// Outer Diameter, about 5 in /// Height, 4 in /// Bottom thickness, 0.2 in
Coaster Color(s), will be printed in red or blue.
Holder Color, will be printed in dark blue.

Holder, Front

Holder, Back

Once printed, resin will be poured over top to fill spaces and make a smooth surface. Coasters will then be ready for use. Following completion, coasters will be remeasured before printing a holder for the set.

Artist Research 1

Artist: Richard Long Website: http://www.richardlong.org Favorite work: “Berlin Circle” Richard Long’s work is very simple and, arguably, plain. Normally, this would bore me. However, I feel he uses the space which his work resides in as inspiration for the piece instead of forcing a piece to fit in just any given space. The colors of his materials rarely- if ever- contrast the space and for most texture is used in the same way. Yet, Long also takes a lot of liberty in contrast when it comes to the shapes of other works. The hit-or-miss tendencies with contrast creates engaging works that I believe improves every space they are implemented. My favorite aspects of Long’s artistry are in a tie between color and line. In terms of color, Long consistently uses very soft tones even in his darkest pieces. This creates a calming feeling as the art is observed, as well as an overall sense of unity between everything Long creates. On the other hand, Long’s linework is so zen-li...

I decided to use Fusion 360 to create my model. Because I used so many primary shapes, Fusion is the easiest to manipulate in order to make the cuts and build the structure I'm looking for. I started with making the the main house, then went to town creating the holes. After the holes, I switched my focus to the base, during which I learned how to use a ramping tool that worked pretty perfectly. Lastly I did the words, using a word collage as guidance. I like where it was going, but the words really weighed dow the program and ultimately had to call it quits before I put all the words on. Further, one wall did not receive any word treatment. It sucks but I accepted it. I'm really happy with how the rest of the model went.

Thingiverse Exploring

First time exploring thingiverse, but I was really impressed by the selection.
