Ceramic 3D Print Designs

Ceramic 3D Print Designs

So the day we were supposed to start ceramic designs in groups of four, i made some quick sketches about ideas.

 Most of them are kinda just sketches and ideas, apparently Harrison told me I needed five, so I just put the five that I liked the most in here...



So we were discussing what object we should make, and Harrison was really enthusiastic about one of these ideas that he made. I felt like his object was nicely done, and of course I didn't even know if my objects were plausible, so I also put my green card in for his idea.

Kinda feels weird though. I'm not really used to not doing a lot of work in a group project. I guess it felt nice for a change to get carried for once.

So w

hile I wait for the printer to finish being set up, I should probably finish this...

Im printing this out when the printer is finally ready (i should check today), basically its a fusion of one of my partner's pieces and something i designed on paper (i still dont have the technology to replicate that shit -.-)

The piece should be completely watertight, and ive designed it (i did a lot of the pointular stuff)

so that the corners don't fall off due to angular problems.

one of the problems we ran into was that some angles came off on too steep of a slope when we were nearly done, so I had to go backwards and change the angles so that the object was printable.

Two weeks ago, when we were supposed to do our mid-part process page, i took several pictures of our project, but apparently never wrote a mid-part blog, so i should definitely double down on this blog post.

 We combined these two (again I couldn't make the bloody piece because i missed out on some info...)

The picture on the left is actually from Jame's blog. My copy got destroyed in the process of making the final object because i was using Jame's object as the template.

 apparently his object had a lot of problems too, like how the cap wasnt really capped off, and the object wasnt entirely symmetrical. Because of this, if you look really carefully, you'll notice the final object isn't symmetrical either .-.

This picture to the right was the first concept generations page I made (I worked on the concept generation page alone because I felt like I shafted him by not having all ten prototypes ready on time...)

 This is the final draft piece that I made. The overall result was quite similar to final draft that I made, I guess I'm pretty happy in that regard.

We made several other ideas, like a star-shaped object, but Bryan thought that was too cliche of an object, so we went ahead with this piece. (nearly died in the process because neither of us were Harrison-leveled at Rhino...)




Update:

Printed successfully!


Well... almost successfully. To be honest, it didnt really matter that the top didn't quite make it, its a hollow form project, and I originally intended for it to be hollow anyways.
