April 26, 2020

Main Project Construction Update 2020, Student Work

Since the covid outbreak I had to change my project to be custom clothing. The construction has been pretty good overall I have learned a lot about what to do and what not to do. The process started with choosing my designs and then printing and cutting them out. I had to wrap the designs…

Jamie Frankel

Main Project Construction Update 2020

I have added a base to my rotating shelves but I cannot decide if I want to add more square tubing to make the base look like simplified mountains. Even after the Design Review I have decided not to add clear acrylic or chicken wire of any sort to the inside of the basket as…

Since my last post, I’ve been busy collecting materials and planning how my project will come together. So far, I have almost all the materials I need.

After design review 2, I poured the epoxy resin in two stages. The first pour was about 1/3 of the resin and took 4 hours to reach that “sweet” spot to start the next pour. I successful completed the second pour and used a heat gun remove the air bubbles. I then let it dry…

Main Project Construction Update 2020

At this point in my project, I was supposed to be done with construction, and have been able to use this week for any unforeseen issues. Maybe I need to re-sand, or add a stain finish, or the table came out wobbly. However, due to the current state of remaining indoors, I had to resort…

Jackson Hootman

Main Project Construction Update 2020, Student Work

For my final project, I initially intended to create interactive apparel encouraging in-person interactions. Given the recent pandemic, I do not believe this project will have the positive impact I initially desired. With that in mind, I have decided to pivot, creating apparel that discourages contact (for the time being). The principles are the same…

Austin Maes

Main Project Construction Update 2020

My project is moving along and slowly taking shape. My biggest difficulty is getting the main sensor that I need to get this whole project to work.

With the challenging transition of COVID-19 and a change in vision for my final project, I have decided to create a piece of clothing from other clothing with the aesthetics of Harajuku and “the mode style” fashion.

Max Armstrong

Main Project Construction Update 2020

My final project started out as a simple speaker enclosure. The challenge of this project was going to be building the internal structure of the enclosure that caused sound of a certain frequency to be emitted in a manner that caused constructive interference (bass boost). While this would have been really complex to build, the…

Brooke Shade

Main Project Construction Update 2020

Despite having some major setbacks due to COVID-19, decreased access to on-campus resources, and shelter-in-place orders, I am really proud of the progress I made on this project. Due to lack of access to a machine shop, I ended up overhauling my design such that I could make it with what I have. It took…

Main Project Construction Update 2020, Student Work

As the semester comes to an end, construction on the Stirling Motor is taking longer than expected and has been more difficult than anticipated, especially factoring the additional complications due to COVID-19.

Will Tse

Main Project Construction Update 2020, Student Work

Construction Update Like many others, COVID-19 has affected my project and de-scoped it from it’s original vision. The main issue is having something functional/completes a task/dynamic at the end of the project. The progress so far (figure 1) shows my electrical guitar body. It took 10 hours alone band-sawing and outlining the frame of the…

Thus far, the construction of my final project has been going well, despite all things considered with COVID-19, and its impacts to university resources and the overall operations of life.

For my final project I am making an LED “neon” sign with the two aircraft I will fly at pilot training and the unit/program name. Before I began construction I had to finalize my design. I originally planned on making a wooden propeller, but due to COVID-19 I had to pivot to a new creation.…

Zach Aldrich

Main Project Construction Update 2020

Miles Radakovitz

Main Project Construction Update 2020

So thus far I have a table. I began by with a piece of live edge elm wood I got from a sawmill in town. I then cut the wood to the proper size by using a hand held circular saw. The wood was thicker than the saw blade so I had to do a…

Benjamin Robles

Main Project Construction Update 2020

Fortunately, I have bee able to make progress as listed in my timeline post. At this point, I made a “prototype” aka my first shirt ever! It turned out pretty good. But I used a fabric that was better suited for a button down shirt, since it is not very stretchy. Below you can see…

Thomas Buckholtz

Main Project Construction Update 2020, Student Work

As is the case for most of us, I unfortunately will not be able to complete a physical manifestation of this project due to COVID related closures.

Fiona Bell

Main Project Construction Update 2020, Student Work

Design Update: Throughout my time in quarantine, I came to the realization that my initial prototyped design of an automaton-mobile hybrid was a bit too ambitious given my current lack of resources (no machine shop). So, I decided to pair down my design and focus on creating a large floor-to-ceiling mobile. Because my new design…

Daniel Straub

Main Project Construction Update 2020

Construction Update As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, I decided to re-scope my project. Instead of manufacturing anything, I am using this time to really focus on the design and create renderings and an animation of the device. I have also pivoted my idea. Previously, I was going to build a water clock: water would drip…
