Blog Day 4

    Today, we began work on our cell phone accessories. Our assignment is to create an accessory for our phones that uses hinges in some way, such as a poseable stand or a closeable case. We learned how to make hinges in Fusion yesterday, and today was focused on applying that knowledge in our designs.

    Students have also begun brainstorming and entering the early design stage for our capstone projects for the term. For our capstone projects, each student thinks of something they want to make that has complexity in its design, such as mechanical elements or fine details. We will be devoting a lot of time next week to working on these projects.

    Here are some photos from today!

  Today we worked on our planes more. The students got much better at modeling the planes. Some students created more planes, and some worked on their old ones. The printers had a bunch of malfunctions for a single person; however, they worked for everyone else. We plan to test our planes tomorrow at lunch, and the winner will get a prize. This is a plane a student is working on This was the plane that failed to print Some photos of our students.

3D Printing and Modeling M-Term - Day 1

Welcome to our 3D Printing and Modeling M-Term! This course is led by Mr. Beradino, and we will be diving deep into the world of 3D printing with Bambu Studio and 3D modeling with Fusion 360 and Blender. Today we worked on modeling pencil  holders in Fusion 360 using basic techniques such as shape building and combining objects. We also learned how to use Bambo Studio software with the printers to print out these objects. Here are some photos of students working:

3D Printing and Modelling M-Term: Day 3

Today, our class continued working on our planes for the 'competition' that we're going to do tomorrow morning. Mr. Beradino also introduces us to a third project, where we can do anything as long as it is a) for a phone, and b) has a joint (i.e., hinges). To help prepare us for this, he taught us how to make hinges for our project!     Personally, I am going to make a phone/card/pen holder that attaches to the leg of my wheelchair! I'm very excited about this, especially because everything currently on the market is so bulky, or doesn't work for someone like me.               Something that I thought was really cool was that Mr. Beradino let me use a soldering iron to help stabilise the pieces of my plane through soldering excess filament onto the lines where the body and wings connected. Picture from the lesson on how to make a hinge. How I used the soldering iron to stabilise my plane My phone holder (- the hinge)
