3D prints and LEDS

My partner and I are brainstorming about projects we could make with a 3D printer and LEDS:

1. Clock where the number of the hour lights up
2. Bathroom stall door lock that lights up when the door is locked
3. A timer that lights up when it’s done
4. A charger that lights up when its plugged in (color would change depending on the battery life)
5. Pen that lights up when clicked
6. Light up bookmarks for reading in the dark
7. Light up cup that changes color based on temperature

Our collaborated ideas were:

1. A light up ball

2. Clock where the number of the hour lights up

3. Light up phone case

4. A charger that lights up when its plugged in (color would change depending on the battery life)

Top table ideas:

1. LED lamp

2. Light up jewelry box 

3. Ball that lights up when you throw it.

4. Sunglasses that light up when you blink

5. Clock where the number of the hour lights up

6. Light up phone case

7. A charger that lights up when its plugged in (color would change depending on the battery life)

Pencil Case Adventure

 

We created a pencil case to hold pencils, pens, and other classroom necessities. We accounted for the length of one full unsharpened pencil, so nothing would stick over the top. This pencil case is designed so it would fit perfectly in the holes in the tables, and the top would be a half inch above the height of the table. I created this with sketchup using the push/pull tool, the guidelines, and line tool.

Learning Sketchup

In sketchup, we learned how to build our own chairs. After we created our chairs, we made a dining area, by importing a rug and then building a table. We had to use orbit tool, guidelines tool, line tool and protractor tool. The skill i found most helpful was the push/pull tool.
