In order to become familiar with the process of modeling in Fusion360, exporting, slicing and printing, we have a deceptively simple assignment this week.
Taking inspiration from the satisfying meme videos of objects fitting perfectly inside other objects, I want each student to choose some object (the context), measure it with a set of calipers, and model a mating/nesting piece to fit inside/outside the context and print it. I want the fit to like goldilocks - not overly tight that it is impossible to remove, nor too loose that there is a lot of play. A couple of ground rules:
-Be conscious of the size of the contextual object as printing a large mating piece could take up a considerable amount of print time.
-Do not use a contextual object like a wall receptacle or power supply - there should not be a risk of electrocution involved.
-You might need to prototype and print your mating object a couple of times to get the tolerance right. Plan ahead, and/or group together with your peers to put multiple models on one print bed to be efficient with printer use.
-You must model these objects in Fusion360, even if you know other CAD/modeling software.
Post a satisfying video of your prototype in action and any process documentation you have (please take photos!) to your blog by midnight 11/09. If your blog post link changed for this assignment, please DM it to me.
