Embedded Files
For my big final semester project of my freshman year, I will be making a Moose head. A little background information is that my last name is Musbach but for short has always been called Moose. Everyone in family has a "Moose" head in their home except us, so I have decided I would make one to continue the tradition.
Day 2
My goal for the moose head is to create two models. One baby/ mini moose and a bigger and more realistically sized. I used a software called 123dmake that I downloaded onto my computer to create the slice affect that I want to see. Today I have just been playing around with this program trying to get a feel for how to use it to help me. I have inserted the stl file of a moose head, into the program.
Day 3
I have got my head slices at the right size and shape I want them to be in. They are all vertical cut pieces. There is two going straight down, which make the side of its head. Then there is six slices vertical that make up the moose head's front look.
Day 4
I have been working in Corel Draw and have been taking my file with my slices and assembling the moose's head pieces on Inkscape.
Day 5
Today I am ready to start designing my antlers. Throughout the class I have designed them. Finally done with the design of the antlers.
Day 6
Ready to print! I have laid out all of my pieces to the sliced moose head and am going to print a mini cardboard model.
Day 7
I have printed them all out and assembled them together. My first mini prototype is a success. I made the first mini version from cardboard.
Day 8
Today I made printed my first wood copy.
The ears of this ^^moose head cut wrong so I have to cut another one.
I need finishing touches for the wood copy. The finishing touches included: moving nodes on the antlers, and making the ears longer, and making sure the ear piece does not affect the way it is hung.
Day 9
I have printed my final copy. Everything fixed and then also added a hanger type hook on the back to be able to put in my kitchen.
