Tag: SketchUp

Today we created our Sketchup and we created the things we needed to make it work. We also thought about how we were to create the motor. We thought about how big we should hole for the motor to be able to function. We are now ready to 3d print our hand. We then will the motor to the finger tip. We then will make so that motor fits directly ball. The ball needs to be 3D printed as well so that the project will be complete. We also went to Ms. McDonald’s website and tried to figure out the arduino part of it but we will need some help with that.

Today for my group I made the overall outline of the product we did. They gave me an idea of what they wanted it to look like and I just made a simple sketch. They then went in and put in the measurements for each of the objects to make them exact. We got the overall SketchUp today and we exported it and turned it in. I think it was more difficult to get all the exact measurements and put them into the SketchUp. I am glad I didn’t have to take part in that because I would have failed.

I learned how to build a chair without downloading off the web. I also learned how to use different functions of the program in order to bend it to your will. I was also taught how to make automatic measurements without having to drag to the precise location. I learned how to rotate objects to turn them many different ways. I was taught how to add skins to your object and how to download object off of the online web. I feel now that I can go back to SketchUp and make my own house with a reasonable amount of time and assistance. I would like to thank Ms. MacDonald for the help she has given me in order to be successful with this program later in life.
