My logo is designed after my first and last name initials. It has a J and M in bold and then a J and M that is skinnier that follows behind it. I choose to have this logo because the lines in the background of the bold J and M represent me running and swimming because the air and the water always flow behind me.

This is my logo that has been laser cut. It was very easy to understand how to open the file on the computer that connects to the laser cutter. Although i had difficulty understanding how to set the raster, vector, and etch settings. I tried to laser cut my design 3 times until I asked for help. It was then i figured out i had the vector on the wrong setting so it did not cut out properly. I put it on the right settings and then it was cut out properly. My design turned out better than i thought it would, i was surprised it could cut such a fine and close line to the thicker J and M.

This is my 2 by 2 inch card stock 3d box I made. It was much easier to make this card stock box compared to the cardboard box which i made first. The card stock box was easier to account for the thickness of the material. Not really having to account for the thickness of the material which made it easier to fit through the 2 by 2 inch cardboard the tested to see if the box was the correct size. I would rate my craftsmanship pretty well on the box and the accuracy for the right size was a little of.

This is my 2 by 2 inch cardboard. It was much more difficult to make than the card stock. the material is much thicker which made it harder to cut and glue together. I used hot glue to put the box together. After putting the box together i realized i should have accounted for the thickness of the cardboard, because it is thicker than the card stock. To account for the thickness i should have cut each square a little less than 2 inches in height and lengt

This is the design for my logo that is going to be 3d printed. It was very difficult for me to design this, it is my first time using tinkercad. I learned how to use the hole and group tool. These two tools were most helpful for me when creating my 3d printed logo. I had to change my logo from the one i laser cut because the 3d printer would not have been able to print the fine lines behind the large J and M.

This is my 3d printed logo. it did not turn out exactly as i excepted. if you look closely at the bottom of the J it is not connected. That is an error on me because i needed to make the circle around the two letters a little large so the all connected. I also would have liked to make the line to the right of the J thicker that can be done by putting an object making it a hole grouping it and making it thicker, than the one i used.

This project taught me how to prototype using cardboard. I learned how to use tabs which hold up and support objects. I also learned how to slot which i thought was very cool because it makes the two pieces fit into each other.

This is my vinyl cut sticker. I really like using the vinyl cutter because it is so quick and it is a fairly easy process. I learned how to click on the logo i want to cut it then set one thing as the background so it goes behind the main logo.

This is my laser cut name stand. I had a difficult time making sure that the holes in the piece that would make it stand were spaced properly. I got help from my class mates and Mr. D and understood how to cut out the holes by using a red line that was .001 thickness. I am proud that i was able to make the name stand because it seems very hard.

These are the twelve designs i have decide to make. I then chose the one i liked the best and drew that on graph paper to make sure it was to scale and would laser cut.

These are my card stock pro type. They were pretty easy to design. I traced by graph sketch then cut it out. The only thing i had trouble with was gluing the arms to the glass, i later learned i should have cut slits so they fit in.

These are the sketches of 12 different glasses that i was going to make i chose on and that was my final.

This is the design of my cardboard glasses, they are laser cut i had to laser cut 4 pairs before they were finally perfect, the nose did not fit at first then the slots for the arms were to small. i fixed this and they finally worked.

This is my final glasses. it first did not work because again the slots for the arms were to small, because i did not convert them from the cardboard thickness to the wood. i really like the glasses. i learned how to take an idea an make it a reality.

I am currently working on my glow circuit. This is the what it looks like on tinker cad before i print it out. I had a lot of trouble coming with and designing this robot face. I had a lot of trouble with combining the objects and making them all fit and look like a face.

This is my final product of the robot face 3d printed. I needed some help setting it up to 3d print, i need to add supports. I learned that the supports will make sure that the top of the face does not collaspe in to itself. I am really happy with the way it turned out. Although next time i hope i am able to set up the printing all on my own.

This is my laser cut clock design. I combine two designs that i found online to make this. I tested different colors from white to black to see what it would look like when laser cut. The white barely cuts into the wood. The black goes very deep into the wood. This is because of the different strengths of the laser.

This is my laser cut prototype. It is is circle when talking to Mr.d i decide for the final clock i would make it a hexagon and cut out more pieces. I also learned that the center piece for the hole can not be cut out like i did in this one. You can also see some of the edges are cut off that is because i have to learn hos to center what i am cutting.

This is my final laser cut clock. I like the way that the layers make the clock look. It makes the clock look a lot better than a normal one because it it pops off the wall. As you can see i made the shape of it a hexagon because it fits better with the theme of hexagons. Even the numbers are all some how made of hexagons. I had difficulty getting the clock hands on but got it after asking for help!
