whozits & whatzits galore.

For our hollow hybrid we had several difficulties, especially on our first draft of the hybrid. This is Clarice's concept objects.  This was the several drafts we had trying to combine Clarice's onion bulb shape with my twisty cage looking shape. We had a little bit of a hard time combing these two since there were a lot of protruding edges, uneven sections. They wouldn't join easily since my shape would only go through naked edges. Our second draft a more of a success. We instead combined my teardrop shape with a piece of her jagged rose and Boolean difference it. In the end we got the cool looking teardrop crystal shape. The filament the we had made look better since it was see through with a shiny finish. It really made it look more like a crystal. If we had overlooked our hybrid again, we would have stretched out to make it taller so there wouldn't be any steep lines on it. nbb

The final FINAL project, our group decided a zipper looking vase from both our hybrid hollows. This was our initial sketch of how we wanted it to look like. At first we wanted to take the bottom of Vanessa and Kyle's project and Boolean Difference it with our water drop hollow to make something like a cake with a piece of it cut out. But after trying out many ways to combine it, we couldn't make the bottom work. So then we took another part of Vanessa and Kyle's project which was the smaller pillars. But since it was slanted, and we didn't want it topple over, we cut it half and stretched it out. This is our final out come of out project. It's simple but I think it looks pretty cool.

For final part of the paper craft project, I refined the prototype of the cassette tape.  prototype sketch For the laser cutting part of the project, I only had the main outline and the circles of the cassette cut out and had the blue dotted lines for the folded lines. I also added the back two holes on the tape so the tape shows both on the back and front.  The rest of the bolts, roll of tape and the red cover I cut by hand. This is how the final turned out. I think the most difficult part of this project was gluing them all together. Parts of it, especially the front part of cassette tape (bottom center), would not fully stick together.
