Week 2 - Journal

I started designing the eyeglass frame by drawing a hexagon with a 50 mm radius. Inside it, I drew a 90 mm diameter circle (for the lens), then added a 3 mm diameter circle on the side of the frame for the screw hole. Next, I mirrored this part on the other side with the same dimensions. The distance between the centers of the two screw holes was 131.321 mm, and the screw hole’s center was 50 mm from the lens circle’s center.*  

Then, I created two arcs with radii of 9 mm and 16 mm, respectively. The distance between the arc center and the lens center was 66.058 mm, and the angle between the two lenses was 59.2 degrees. After that, I extruded the design by 3 mm and rendered the model with a wood texture. Finally, I saved the file as a DXF for laser cutting, accounting for a laser kerf of 0.1 mm.
