Nameplate
This was my design in Tinkercad before being printed. This was the first design I made this year. I used a font generator tool to make my nameplate a bit more custom.

Cookie Cutter
This was my design in Tinkercad. I first drew the outline of the bunny, and then drew the inside; the face, ears, etc. The outline would be the cut line, and the interior would be the imprints. I then used Adobe Illustrator to import the design and form it into a complete cookie cutter.
This was my design after being printed, with the raft still on. The design had a few more things to be done, so it looks a bit different than the original screenshot from Tinkercad.
This was my cookie cutter without the raft. As you can see, I added a few supports to ensure the cookie cutter was strong, and that everything was connected.
This was my cookie before it was baked.
This was one of my cookies after being baked, it fell apart slightly at the ears.
This was a different cookie after being baked, it stayed in tact at the ears this time.
Draw a Thing
Draw a Thing
For this project, I had the choice of what I would like to draw and import into Tinkercad. I chose to draw a Jordan 1, and import it into Tinkercad using Adobe Illustrator. This project was to gain knowledge on how to use Adobe Illustrator for our later cookie cutter project.
I was able to print my design, and this was how to came out of the printer, I am fairly proud of how this project turned out.
Marble Roller Part
Marble Roller Part
This was my design in TinkerCad before printing. I made a piece with a gear that would have a bearing in the middle, and the tiny cylinder would go in the center. This would go inside of the large piece so the marble would land on the gear and come out of the bottom.
This was my design after being printed. It turned out well, and works about 95-100% of the time.
Independent Project - Fidget Toys
Independent Project - Fidget Toys
The independent project I chose to do was to create fidget toys for Mr. Rothwell. I created fidget spinners, aswell as printed a gear heart from thingiverse and printed that. The challenge was to create a fidget toy that would not be loud during class, but useable for a highschool student. I went through the design process. Empathizing with the user, I was designing these toys for is a student who needs something to do with their hands during class. They are anxious and fidgety, and having something to do could help them pay attention during class. As a designer, I can make a fidget toy for the user to play with during class. I then identified the problem, which was the fidgety students needing something to play with during class that would not bother others. I then came up with the idea of doing fidget spinners and a gear cube, which ended up being a gear heart.
These were the three fidget spinners I designed and printed.
This is the gear heart that I printed from Thingiverse.
Egg Launcher
Egg Launcher
Design/Thinking Process
This was a group project. From the start, we both agreed that we wanted to build a catapult for the egg launcher. We originally had a different idea for our design, but we realized the problem it came with. It wouldn’t have connected properly, so it wouldn’t have shot well. We then looked at old designs and found a way to connect it so that it could shoot accurately. We decided on a design with a cylinder on the bottom to connect to the arm and a cylinder on the top to connect the rubber bands to. The main issue we ran into was not having a drill bit the size of the screw, so the hole ended up being too big, and we had to use super glue to connect the bottom cylinder to the arm. This brought up another problem, and the bottom piece snapped due to being too weak because we had to drill through it and put in a bigger screw. Because of this, we reprinted the cylinder with some support around the hole and chose a smaller screw to use in place of the bigger one. The design screwed together, but when we first tested it the launching part of the catapult broke off. At first, we were disappointed and were going to reprint it, but instead, we took the infill out of the longer piece with a dremel and pliers so the egg would fit, and that design worked better.
Final Design
Other Designs
Chess Pieces
Chess Pieces
For this project, I designed 5 of the 6 possible chess pieces. I first designed the base for each of the pieces, using the same base for them all. I then edited the top of each to resemble certain chess pieces. From left to right there is a king, queen, bishop, rook, and pawn.
Sculpt a Monster
Sculpt a Monster
For this project, I used SculptGL to design a creature of some sort. I learned to use the tools in this application and made in my opinion a pretty good looking monster.
