Reverse Engineered Object - Progress II

Reverse Engineered Object - Progress 2 March 11th, 2024 This week, I continued to make progress on modelling my Safety Pin Earring. I'm happy with my progress so far. Some problems I've run into this week: Not too many issues I've come across this week, I just am finding it time consuming to line up my objects. The safety pin uses the pipe tool, so I can't easily just snap the beads to the center. The safety pin is also not a straight wire that the beads are fed onto, it's a bit curved so it just has taken a lot of focus and a close eye to align them.  Still don't quite know how to make the end of the safety pin but will experiment more with it this coming week.  Closed curves! Some of the more complicated objects have a lot of polylines involved and are sometimes not fully connected or maybe didn't snap together, so when I try to extrude a surface or join something, I get error messages. I think I just need to pay more attention so I don't run into any ...

Reverse Engineered Object: Selection

Reverse Engineered Object: Selection February 25th, 2024 1. Safety Pin Earring: I chose this one because I think it's more playful and personal than the next two I selected. I think I could get very accurate measurements and it would still be a challenge for me to model. I also selected this object because in learning how to model the earring back and the clasp and the more structural parts of the earring, perhaps in the future I can use that design to make/3D print earrings of another variety. Both the earring hook and the safety pin feature some spiral elements that I look forward to experimenting with because I honestly have no idea how to approach that.  << full object view << deconstructed view 2. Tape Measure: This one has a lot of components. Between the screws, the outside of the tape measure and the measuring tape itself, I would have a lot of opportunities to experiment and troubleshoot how to model this. The outside of the tape measure looks intricate on bo...

Reverse Engineered Object: Progress I

Reverse Engineered Object: Progress I March 4th, 2024 This week I started to measure and model the paper clip earring I had chosen in my last post. I completed all of the measurements and rough sketches (although I must admit that my measurements page is pretty disorganized). It was a difficult object to measure as it is so tiny, but I tried to be as accurate as possible. Some issues I have run into so far: How to model springs? For some reason, after creating the structure of the bead, I was unable to create the open cylinder in the middle with the Shell command. Maybe some of my curves aren't fully closed? I'm not sure. Trying to wrap my head around how to model the organic curves of the paperclip. Earring Hook:  After modelling the structure of the earring hook in top view, I started to extrude the separate pieces. Then width of the wire used for the hook is 0.24mm, so I used the circle tool to create a circle with a diameter of 0.24mm, then used the sweep tool. Then I added...
