Lego Brick
Lego Brick
For the first look into Fusion 360 in which we designed a Lego Brick. To start in Step 1 I stared a Sketch and followed along with the video to measure out the correct length and width for the Brick. In Step 2 we exited the design and extruded it to get the correct height through the video. In Step 3 I added the 8 studs on the top of the brick. This step required me to create a sketch on top of the brick and following the video I created a stud with the correct circumference. From their I Extrude the Sketch and then used the Pattern Tool to copy the Stud to cover the rest of the brick. In Step 4 I used the hole tool to make an open bottom to the Brick. From their I went onto Step 5 in which I used the sketch, extrude and pattern tool to make the tubes that the studs connect to. Finally In Step 5 I used the Sketch tool to type my name onto the front of it and Reverse Extrude it onto the Brick. Along with this I filleted the sides to make the edges of the studs more smooth.

In the Second Video we went into a deeper dive of the sketch tool during the Designing Process of the Page Holder. The Most Complex Step was Step 1 for this is the step that we went into a deep dive into Sketching. This Included the use if sketch lines, 3 point lines, dimension sketches and Offset tool. I don't know how to go into more detail about this step because it was all in a 45 minute video so that is the best I can give. In Step 2 I extruded it to the correct height. Step 3 I filled the outer edge of the entire design and the inner design of it as well for comfort. Finally in Step 4 I added my Initials to it and used the Reverse Extrude technique from the brick to have it appear on the design.

In this section we were assigned the task of finding a file on Thingiverse (3D design website). From their we where suppose to send it to Fusion360 and make a noticeable edit to it. I decided to add a hoop to the Bulbasur so it could become a keychain.

For the 3D printing process I chose to do the Lego Brick. The printing process itself had no problems it didn't go off course or anything. The problem came when it was time to take out the supports. I had assumed that the Brick had needed supports but later i learned it didn't. These supports where very tricky to remove because of how they had been placed. The 3d print did come out as intened though on the fist try so thats good.

I think that its very interesting how the problem was approached. Instead of just waiting, Traverson immediately tired to think of a way to help the dog. I found it really fascinating how Traverson had lots of different people in different fields assisting in the project. I think that the approach of allowing room for error was smart because they knew no one was perfect. Overall I think this article had a interesting predicament with a very facinating solution
