For my final project, I had to create a clock using three of the Innovation Center machines that we learned about over the course of IDEA. I used the Maker Bot 3D printer, the vinyl machine, and the laser engraver. My proposal is shown below in my designer notebook. I used the laser engraver to engrave the Abu Garcia logo and motto onto my clock base. I used the vinyl cutter to design the clock number decals. Lastly, I 3D printed a holder for the clock mechanism. Attached below are the pictures of process, with the final design assembled!
Overall on this project I learned and refined my skills in the Innovation Center. I was able to enhance my skills on the laser cutter (without starting a fire...which I definitely didn't do). I was able to learn more about the design process it takes, and become more organized. This project taught me ho wot become more organized when working on a big project. (I thoroughly enjoyed this class and can't wait for BIG IDEA.. and Mr. Willauer!
