We just got a great new letter out. Check it out today!

Here’s a new post

This semester has wrapped up pretty nicely with all but one of my projects coming to completion. My lamp shade had a small issue with the lights that sounds to have more to do with court board flats than maker error but the important part of 3D rotational design was a complete success. In the… Read more »

            I built the motors,               the mounts             and the copter itself Finally got an extrude.

I’ve decided to try and make my box unique. I’ve bought 1/4 inch oak which changes things from the 3/8 inch balsa wood that’s used in class. I’m still going to create the class box but this, alternate box, I want to not only change the wood, but also put etchings on it as well… Read more »

For this project we’re going to be creating a small drone copter. It’s about 6ish inches wide and we were given the dimensions in the picture above and then left to our own devices as to how to recreate this in Fusion 360. When I looked at the design I decided that I looked for… Read more »

So this week we’re moving from making an item my subtraction on the laser printer and moving to additive creation with the 3D printer. I’ll also be starting off with a simple design process of making a flat object and then using the revolve tool to make it a fully 3D object in one swoop…. Read more »

Thankfully professor McKay spent some extra time in class going over this project and I decided to start the design over from scratch. Since I was able to follow along and take some good notes hopefully you’ll notice that everything worked out much better this go around. I still have some questions about projections (and… Read more »

The interface to Fusion 360, at first seemed bpretty intuitive. I was able to sketch the shape of my leg out according to the dimensions set out but modifying it wasn’t very intuitive. Just making changes were pretty difficult and I spent about 30 minutes just trying to modify angles. The oddest thing was realizing… Read more »
