Recitation 9: Digital Fabrication

This time, I worked with Cissy, and we made an artifact together.

Step 1.1: Stand design

I worked with Part B

The dimension of the servo is 3.2cm in length, 1.2cm in width, and 0.3 in diameter.

Here is the screenshot of my work

Step 1.2: Pattern design

I started with a circular pattern of 120 mm in diameter. And I want to draw an anticlockwise way. I wanted to draw waves, so I drew lines with different anchor points. I then changed their starting point and end point.

To make it more interesting, I add octagons in the middle. I used rotation repeat and made it more beautiful.

See what I drew ultimately! 

And after that, we exported both of our patterns and uploaded them on Google Drive, and went to get our laser cutting! Very, unfortunately, to match the artifact with the motor, I changed the octagon into a circle.

 

After we went back, we used the Arduino and connected it to the servo. Here is the final artifact.
