We (Avery and I) collaborated on making the 3D model together.
We started to find interesting designs on the Thinkercad with idea of something small and we can use it in the real life. We ended up with a dinosaur head, and we planed to use the tongue as a ring holder. Avery helped us printed the dinosaur head at her job.
Then, we started to design rings (fun part) , we stated to play around with the basic shapes in the Thinkercad. We also used a few designs from the community. It is really fun to turn something which doesn’t look like a ring into a ring. For example, we cut a inner hole to make a mandala into a thumb ring.
Switching from a 2D view to a 3D is not easy, but it is a lot of fun to move around the arrow keys and mouse to position different components and parts.
While, for some designs, because there is space between layers, the printing process was not easy.
I find it remarkable to see how you continue to change collaborators throughout this course and how each of these bring a new joint project to life. The sculpture is quite intriguing and I am looking forward to seeing it.
