Geometric Motion Lamp

Today we learned that we are going to design a geometric motion lamp.

Above are the constraints for the project. I noted that there are some additional constraints that will need to be accomplished for my project to be considered advanced.

3D Design Project

This is the schedule for this mini project. We have five total class periods to complete this project.

Constraints

These are our projects constraints for this project.

Research

Inspiration

Today we researched some images as inspiration for our project. I am most inspired by the cross.

Idea Development

My Plan

After Researching, we needed to come up with our own idea. To the left is my sketch of my idea.

Day 1 Construction

Progress

Today in class I used the bandsaw to cut out my center piece.

Day 2 Construction

Progress

Today in class I used the miter saw, and the bandsaw and the sander to cut and sand my pieces.

Day 3 Construction

Progress

Today in class I used the bandsaw and sander to sand my pieces and cut it.

Day 4 Construction

Progress

Today in class I used the spray paint and the nail gun to nail my pieces and paint my cross.

Final Product

This is my project. It is a Christian Cross.

The project size constraints were to be less than 18'x18"x18" and the final dimensions of my project are 6in by 2 inches.

It was expected my project was made out of 6 or more parts. My project is made out of 6 parts.

I give my craftsmanship an 8/10 for this project because it didn't come out perfectly.

Front View

Reflection - My favorite part is the whole cross because it represents my religion.

Pull Apart Activity

Camera Pull Apart

Today in class we are going to take this camera. We know that this camera can

Record
Take picture
Zoom
Take videos

I think that these things will be inside

Motherboards
Glass Dome
Copper wires
Screws
LAN Cable
Motors
Camera & lens

Day 2

Today I took apart a school security camera and looked at the parts.

Above are the steps we are going to take for the electronics coding portion of the project.
