Progress Check (3/12/21)
Also, unfortunately, the only time I got to work on my project was on Thursday, and I spent most of that time trying to get a whole bunch of dry glue out of the nozzle of my glue bottle, so the only actual physical progress I made assembling my study model was gluing the two parts of the lamp base shown to the right together. |
When I opened the manila folder with all of the study model materials, I immediately realized that laser cutting the rods would be incredibly impractical, and that it would make a lot more sense to switch to dowel rods.
Also, I realized that the base with all of the square "pockets" in it should be both wider and thicker. I can easily make it wider in Inventor, and I can make it thicker by laser cutting it multiple times instead of just once, and then gluing those copies on top of each other. Finally, I also realized that I would have to glue (at least) two copies of the hexagonal base of my lamp with the circle in its middle, with one without the three pockets near its sides, and the other(s) with those pockets. As mentioned beforehand, the pockets will be changed to be fitting for dowels. Also, I already knew to do this, but when I make my final model, the three half-hexagons will be made with the 1/5 inch thick plywood instead of 1/8 inch. I did that for the study model for simplicity and because the thickness of the hexagons didn't really matter for the study model compared to it having accurate dimensions so I could make sure that it fit with the 3D printed part - which it did fit very well with! |

Progress Check (3/25/21)
I removed the last of the sticker residue off of the dowel rods, and I also got started on making my presentation board, which I decided to make in Canva.
The image to the right is the current progress I've made on the presentation board so far. Link to presentation board on Canva: https://www.canva.com/design/DAEZlfBohIM/GgCS_htd1nLi3dq7vqcUfw/view?utm_content=DAEZlfBohIM&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton |
Progress Check (4/2/21)
I was going to have my mom pick up my final model materials at school today (I completely forgot to pick them up after school yesterday) and create my final model over break.
The progress I've made this week has been entirely on my presentation, and I've made a lot of progress on it, such as setting up the entire presentation and setting up the CAD drawing images for each slide that has it. I was going to finish all of the parts of my lamp project over spring break, and hopefully I'll have everything done by the time we come back to school on April 12th. |
Progress Check (4/15/21) - FINAL
|
I finished my final lamp project presentation PowerPoint, which, at a grand total of 45 slides, took a LOT longer than I expected.
|
I also finally finished my lamp, which, other than the blister on my thumb caused by having to get the end of a dowel rod into a hole that it barely fit into 42 times and the fact that I ended up not using the lesser lamp neck part that I spent hours trying to figure out the design of in Inventor, turned out a lot better than I was expecting.
I spaced out the assembly of it over 3 days (Tuesday - Thursday of Spring Break):
