3D Printing - Fabricating for a Function part 1 

I choose to do a toothpaste squeezer.

I want to print some sort of box that can be easily slid over the toothpaste to make all of it come out so that when my toothpaste is running low it is not taking time out of my morning squeezing it out. something that is easy to pick up and hold while squeezing

3D Modeling - Fusion

Model 1 - This was a simple block. Im not going to say much because we did this in class together.

Model 2 - This was supposed to be my lamp shade that you expressed looked like a donut and that you'd eat it. We started the process of making this in class with the challenge of having to not be the last one to draw a line and make it a image, for some reason I struggled with that a lot more than I should have, resulting in my line to look a mess and having my lamp shade look like the nearest Krispy Kreme. But to start this so called lamp shade I imported the canva drawing and then used the revolve tool to make it a sort of round thing. After that I made it a shell so that the inside is almost borderline empty and then I used sketch to create a circle and extrude it through the lamp shade to give it the hole in the middle.

Model 3- This was one of my more favorite ones to do. To create this flask I started with sketch, per usual and I mapped out a circle and a rectangular box with the tip of the flask mapped out as well. After that I just basically doubled the outline so that the liquid inside the flask would be there and I would be able to put the glass outside. I Remember using the revolve tool a bit here as well, Can't remember which step but it was used. I also have it floating just a little bit so you can see the flat bottom because I know that is important. For rendering purposes I used glass light stained color and red plastic and this is the final. at this time my computer was tired, trying to render this flask.

Model 4 - See, I tried my best with this bowler hat. It literally gave me hell. For this model I started with a sketch, I drew what I knew closest to an oval and then used toe extrude tool and fillet to give the top hat this round shop looking look. After that I started working on the outer bands of the hat and it fought tooth and nail with me, I used sketch again and after that everything went down hill. I made the other shape and extruded that as well as a separate object and it worked pretty nice. Then I somehow managed to get the inside of the hat empty. For some reason I could not get the edges of the hat to be taller or get the outside, side of the hat to be lower and I tried to use extrude and fillet and neither worked. Then I went to render and I choose some tan leather and it wasn't dark brown enough ( I tried ) but when I choose render it made my object have all these random wholes in them, I dont know how that happened but it wouldn't fix so I had to just leave them there.

3D MODERLING - FREECAD

Object 1

Object 2

For Object 2, I aimed to design a solution that was simple, functional, and straightforward. After measuring my desk, I found the thickness to be approximately 6mm. During this process, I also noticed a small feature at the back of the desk that could be used to help anchor a cable holder more securely.

To begin the design, I followed similar initial steps as in Object 1—starting by creating a new body and then sketching out the form. The resulting model is a minimalist cable holder designed to fit snugly over the edge of the desk.

The top opening and circular cutout are intended for the charger cable to pass through, ensuring it stays organized and easily accessible. The second part of the design interfaces with the back portion of the desk to add extra stability and prevent the holder from shifting during use.

Overall, this object was designed with a focus on usability and clean integration with the desk's existing structure.

Object 3

For Object 3, the concept I had in mind was to design a mechanism that would snap together like a puzzle piece and securely hold its position, even when flipped upside down.

Part A is a hook-shaped arm that extends from a flat base. The hook curves inward toward a solid backstop, allowing it to latch into a corresponding component. The flat base provides structural support and ensures alignment during assembly.

Part B is a block-like structure—almost resembling a house—with a cutout cavity specifically designed to mirror the profile of Part A’s hook. The interior of this cutout is shaped to curve just enough to catch and lock the hook in place, preventing it from sliding out unintentionally, even when the object is held upside down.

Together, these parts form a simple yet effective snap-fit joint, where the interaction of their shapes provides a secure mechanical connection without the need for additional fasteners or adhesives.

Final Sound Assignment

For my final sound assignment I decided to do a commercial type of sound , just because its so easy to catch people attention and sale them the most useless things.

For the app I used Audacity to put all the sounds together, as shown below. It gave me a little trouble because it doesn't take any ma4, so I had to use a google site to convert to mp3. I also used the free sound website to get most of my sound effects and I created the ding sound effect myself.

To record all the narrators and the rock holders I used voice memo on iPhone to catch my voice because audacity for some reason refused to take my voice.

Teamwork

We came together in person and made some progress

We are for sure wanting to do a game.

The group came to a conclusion that we are making an app using flappy bird with an creative flip involving the professor.

Miranda and Kyle are focusing more on the app.

Me and Reece are focusing more on the writing aspects of the assignment.

Brainstormed more ways to make the app creative to our liking.

App Inventing

For my app, I wanted to do something that I knew I would have fun making but also was in tune with current events that are happening. With that being said I made an app that keeps the memory of TikTok alive, it being banned a few days before this assignment is due made me want to use some of my favorite sounds that I’ve heard over the last year! I aimed to capture the unique energy and creativity that TikTok brought to social media. By incorporating popular sounds, my app pays tribute to the platform’s impact on trends and culture. In hopes that users can reminisce and continue to enjoy the iconic moments that TikTok provided over its short-lived life. The wallpaper on the app was the TikTok logo with the spin of the vine soundboard, because when vine disbanded a person has a concept similar.

I think app inventor was pretty straight forward, I was able to do most of what I wanted, but I seemly did have problems with getting the sound to actually play even after connecting the pieces like showed in class (the puzzling snapping sound indeed played as I was connecting them). With a bit more troubleshooting, I’m sure I’ll be able to resolve the sound issue and bring my app to life as I envisioned.
