Current Progress：
This week I tried to use the UV resin to make the fan stick, I am satisfied with the shadowing effect on the wall, which is precisely what I want. Before waiting for the fan mold to arrive, I tried to make an uneven, water-ripple-like condition of the fan sticks without the mold, which worked well. I attempted to connect it to the servo and control the switching with the gesture sensor. As demonstrated in the video below.

Problems：
1. Because the contour edge of each fan stick is irregular and has too many angles, it is very easy to be trapped by the fish line between the fan stick when the fan blade spins. As a solution, the fan blade mold is still required.
2. I want the shadow to be colored; I attempted to paint a carp using acrylic paint, but it didn’t work out due to the opaqueness of acrylic paint.

Solutions：
On Sunday, the mold was delivered, and I attempted to produce a few pieces, the results of which are seen below.

1. The regular fan stick should avoid getting trapped in the fishing line and should rotate smoothly. (This is still being tested)
2. The interior hollowing of the fan stick could provide a sensation of flow.
3. Mix the colorant with the UV resin so that a color reflection appears on the wall.

Next…

1. Fabrication for fan and stand.

2. Think about the fan with 360 degrees.
