Maze Project

The first stage went fairly smoothly because, at this point, I am very familiar with Adobe Illustrator. However there was a minor problem when I was first making the walls where the offsets stacked on top of each other and I couldn't delete one without deleting everything else. This was solved when I realized that having multiple layers literally didn't matter if I was just extruding one and it didn't matter which one I extruded.

Unlike part one stage stage two was rife with disorder and inconvenience. While, at first, it went well problems soon arose when my model was printed a FRACTION OF A MILLIMETER to small. This cause the ball to be unable to roll within the finished maze and thus I had to redo the entire maze from scratch and scale it up literally a fraction of a millimeter. After the finished model was printed I began the process of making the glass ceiling that would confine the balls to their respective mazes and while this did go rather smoothly I would have finished this project a week earlier if I had just double check my path measurements before printing it. ALSO WHY IS PUTTING ACRYLIC INTO A FRAME SO BLOODY HARD?

In the end, while this project took much longer than it should've, trying to force the glass into the frames was annoying, and there were a lot of needless inconveniences along the way I am content with my end goal. If I were to ever do this again then I would try to add more detail to the controls of the bottom half and make it look more like a console.
