This is my logo, I wanted to play around with positive and negative space, making each letter come out of the space that follows the previous one. I wanted to keep a relatively simple style, like most logos have, using regular geometric shapes to spell out my name.
These are my various attempts at laser cutting my logo, the first couple attempts went wrong since I programmed the lines wrong and made some of them hairline when they weren't meant to be. Eventually I did get one exactly how I wanted and and Mr. D recommended I cut the boarder closer to the logo, so we put it back in and made a cleaner cut.
This is the robot I designed, I used very basic shapes and printed it very small. As you can see the size was a bit of an issue since the laser was too powerful to make something that small and I ended up burning it.
This is the 3-D print of my logo, I designed it in Tinkercad and 3-D printed it. my design was relatively simple to make into a 3-D design because all I had to do was raise any white space and lower and black space in my design.
This is the design for my glow circuit. all three pieces fit together and the light will shine out of the top of the hat and through the eye. this was very difficult to design, I vastly underestimated the difficulty of trying to get these shapes to fit perfectly together, especially without a mouse.
These are some laser cut lamps that I looked up and some sketches for potential lamps I could make based on what I saw online. some of these seem viable and able to be done, but some require different equipment than a laser cutter.
These are my various stages of my plane clock. It started out very crude, not looking much like a plane at all, but as I went through more and more designs and considering more ideas it ended up looking a lot like a plane. There wasn't any wood with enough space to make the plane big enough to hide the back to the clock behind it, so I decided to cut out a rectangle of black acrylic to hide it.
