This is my logo design. I am using the same one I used last semester, but this time we used a new program called Adobe Illustrator. I liked using Adobe Illustrator better than inkscape.

Here is my laser cut logo. I have laser cut things in the past, but the first time I tried to laser cut I realized I had forgotten to make the outline 0.001 so it etched all of it out. The second time I had the outline 0.001 and it worked.

Last year in design fundamentals I created a cardstock and cardboard box, so Mr. D told me to use box maker to laser cut the net out. After I laser cut the net out I connected it together.

After I laser cut a box design and connected it together. It was time for a bigger challenge. I had to create a box by hand. I had to use the saw to cut my sides down to size. Obviously, it wasn't exact because my box didn't turn out like the last one. It was hard to cut them completely straight. However, I still came out with a box that met the requirements.

Here are my completed lessons from tinkercad. Now I will 3d print my logo

Here is my design for 3d print. I want it to be a stand, but I had to put it flat because straight up it wouldn't print right because it would ooze.

Here is my Inkscape design for my robot and the laser cut wood for it. We didn't do this mini-project last year so it was cool to start out with something I knew how to do, but something I hadn't done before. My end product turned out a little small, but it was supposed to be 1 in by 1 in so that made sense.

This is my vinyl cut logo. I had never used it before, so it was very interesting to learn how to do this because even last year I never used it. The reason there is a bubble in the middle was that I did not push down the sticker when I put it on my tablet so there was an air bubble. I had some help using this so in the future I will have to use it more and use it by myself.

This is my 3d print logo. Last time I printed it flat so this time I wanted to print something that was standing up and had more dimension. I had to print it in two separate pieces because otherwise, it would have oozed off the side of the top of the piece.

Here is the prototype of my designer glasses. I made them last year as well, but I wanted to make sure I had the measurements correct before I used wood. I had to widen the lenses out because they were a little small.

Here are my final glasses. I made all my changes and finally printed them in wood and they fit better than they ever did last year. Now I just have to do the extension and put lenses in them.

Here are my final lenses. I went through many cuts because they kept either being too small or too big. Next time I will make sure I have the correct measurements and the correct way to do it the first time before

I make multiple cuts.

Here are the final glasses with both of the lenses in them.

Our next project was to make a design with a LED and a battery. I decided to make a house. This wasn't that hard to design, I just went to tinkercad and designed it. I asked for advice on what else to add, and I added some more windows, but eventually, I just printed it out.

Here is my final print for my LED house. I used a different type of material to print it. It actually turned out really well. The material that I used allowed me to see the light coming from the house better that if I used a material that wasn't clear. It was so good you thought it would be a good idea to print it again and display it. Seriously though I am proud of this because it pushed my knowledge of how to use the 3d printer.

After the LED house project we started our last project before our final project. I decided to make a clock. This is my first design for my clock. I wanted to make a sort of sun design. Next, I will move it to Illustrator.

Here is part of what my design in illistrator was. I had to find a video how to paste my triangle around the whole circle. I wanted to be able to create 12 triangles that are exactly the same distance apart so it looks like hands on a clock.

Here is the final clock laser cut and in place to glue. Now I just have to spray paint the individual parts. Surprisingly this only took one time to print out. I played around with a bunch of different designs that could add layers to my clock and I landed on this one because I thought it balanced a great pattern and not too crazy.

I decided after feedback from others in my class to use orange and yellow because my design was like a sun. I also think these two colors go well together. Now I just have to wait for this to dry so I can glue everything together

Here is my final clock. Reflecting on what I did this was one of my best mini projects I ever did in Fab Lab. It took me a lot of pre-steps and designing before I actually went and made it. This was a great last project for the year.

Because I had some time left I decided to do a mini project on the shopbot. I was trying to make a box like this except I didn't have enough time to do the lid part of it. I have never used the shopbot before and it was really interesting to learn how to do it and how the machine works.
