Week 5 (10/8 -10/12)

First week playing around with fusion 360 software because supposedly it is more flexible with organic shapes and allows for easier, faster, and more tangible changes
- I have had trouble learning the software as it is significantly different than SolidWorks

This is my first attempt at using fusion 360 to cad an organic looking arm. This arm unfortunately is impossible to 3d print with most 3d printers unless made in parts. This was more of me starting to understand the new software.

This is a quick prototype of the centripetal arm that I came up with 2 weeks ago. This 'spire' will rotate when attached to the motor. Attached to the spire will be a 'T' or 'Y' shaped appendage with a small weight on the end to prototype the idea. What this design would like to accomplish is as the spire rotates the height of the 'T' or 'Y' appendage will change depending on the speed of rotation. This could be implemented as a way of actually producing music (such as shaking a maraca or hitting a gong), as well as simply a passive way to show expression
