2. a light-shoe
3. a water bottle that lights depending on how much water is in the bottle
4. light-up earrings that are movement triggered
6. light up hair extensions
7. light up braces

3D Printing Design

We started out trying to decide what to do based on the list we were given. We decided to go with a holder for the “grabber” and starting individually brainstorming ideas for it. We got together and chose the best one. Then, we worked with the other group to see if they had any good ideas. That was unsuccessful. We polished off the idea and put it into Sketchup. Below is a picture of our model.

Learning Sketchup

I learned a lot about sketchup. I have used it in the past (7th grade math), but that is the only extent of my knowledge. I learned the basic functions of sketchup, as well as how to create simple 3D models. I also figured out how to round out corners (see chairs) Here’s the dining room I made. Chair_FINAL
