For this project Bryan wanted to try something different form our past projects that we have been doing, as this one is a collaborative/ partner project. Groups were randomly generated and I was paired with Jeruel, seems not that random since we sit beside each other hahaha, but I'm not complaining.
We decided to pick our 5 favorite designs that we personally illustrated from each of our concepts and from there we were going to make combine and create a new collaborated object in some way.
The 10 concepts that I came up with on the last iteration were:
You can see that in my previous post.
The concepts that Jeruel came up with were:
You can also find that in his previous post.
So from here we decided to create our drawings independently so that we could come up with completely separate ideas to give us more to work with.
Ultimately, we decided to go with Jeruel's design, which combined my hourglass-like object and his lofted circle object.
The final design Jeruel took the reigns as he has a better skill set when it comes to 3D design, and it came out pretty much exactly how it was illustrated.
So now we moved onto the final part of this project, printing!
We first began by doing a smaller scaled test print to ensure that hours of effort didn't go to waste if the design were to fail.
After about 3 hours of printing, and our object only 20-25% complete, the printer started wigging out and was no longer printing in line with the design and was just going everywhere.
After emailing back and forth with Bryan, he came to the conclusion that this was caused by a faulty bearing on the x-axis. We decided to rescale our object, to an appropriate size, so that it would not take as much time to print and printed on a different printer.
And this was the final outcome...
