Digital Analog Rose Li
This experiment is to learn digital analog. Use Rhino software to model and make solid models. This is my first time using Rhino software. At the beginning, I encountered some difficulties because I didn't know how to use them, but with the help of my teachers and classmates, I successfully solved the difficulties and I followed the teacher’s teachings and the tutorials in canvas and made a shape like a teapot it is composed of two shapes as my 3D model.
I made a 300mm*300mm box. I used the command to combine these two shapes into one shape, so that I can enlarge it entirely and put it in a 300mm*300mm box.
Then I used commands to expand the 3D model to make 2D, but I encountered some problems here. If I expand the 3D model composed of these two shapes, it will overlap in some places, so I split the two shapes and expand them separately so that I can get two parts of the 3D model.
First Model
Based on the numbers marked on the 2D graphics and the numbers on the 3D model, I confirmed which parts needed to be connected together and then I used lines to make some parts that I could use to dip.
I scaled down my 2D graphics and put them into an A3-sized box. When I printed, I could select the box so that my 2D graphics could be perfectly printed on an A3 paper.
When I made my first model, I used A3 paper, which caused the paper to be soft and easily deformed. And when I was assembling, I didn't pay attention to the order of assembly, which caused me to encounter great difficulties when making the model and because the area I used to apply glue, I made it too small, making it difficult for me to fix them and the number label doesn’t look good when hugged outside.
When I glued it, I didn't carefully align the two sides of the shape, which resulted in some holes.
Because the paper is soft, I pinched it too hard when gluing it and pressed it on the table, causing the shape to deform.
I then glued the sides and then the top, which also caused the top to warp as I pinched the glue to hold it in place.
Because the top and sides were all glued, I couldn't put my hand in and press the glue, so the bottom part of the model wasn't glued.
What this try taught me is to make sure the two pieces are aligned and there won't be gaps before gluing. Don't pinch hard. The order of gluing is very important. I need to leave a space that makes it easy for me to do it, rather than making it impossible for me to do it.
Second Model
Learning from my last question, I made the area for glue a bit larger.
This time when making the second model, I folded the face of the number inside, so that it will look much more beautiful in appearance. And because of the mistake I made last time, I paid special attention to the order of assembly when assembling. It would be much easier to start dipping in another direction or on another side. But there is still a shortcoming, because the paper is soft, so when I pinch the paper to let the glue stick on, my model will be pinched and deformed.
Third Model
The third model I made using cardboard. After the first two practices, the third model has no problems at all, and because it is made of hard cardboard, the model will not be easily deformed.
Final Model
Since the final model needed to be 30cm, in order to get the model to the correct size, I disassembled each side of the shape so that it would fit after I printed it on A3 paper.
I placed them on 6 pieces of A3 paper and then added the area for gluing. Because the area for gluing was too short before, I made it much longer this time.
My final model is 30cm, so I disassembled it and print it, which caused my assembly steps to become more.
After cutting it out, I drew a line along the edge so I could see where the glue was.
In this experiment, I learned how to simply use Rhino software to create shape models.
