Week 4: Putting the pieces together for the final presentation
1. Painting with matte & metallic acrylic paints

 

2. Laser cutting last little details

 

3. Improvising after the laser cutter that you booked for 2 hours is broken and the one working machine is booked for everyone else’s finals and thesis projects. Went to Blick and bought a bunch of wooden dowels and a cutter. Luckily, I had some wood scraps from my mid-term project and some test printed gears, so I was able to scrape together the final details.

 

4. The moment that it came together, along with an illustration for the inspiration and model.

NEXT STEPS:
Figuring out how to make the gears actually work together to create more movement and integrating it with the pipe line.
