May15, Final Design for the Head of my Scarecrow(Subtractive)
- I've finally decided to make the head of my Scarecrow in Hexagonal shape.
- I designed using Fusion 360.The Parameters I used.
- I used two Hexagonal shape with joints. Then six rectangle with joints like shown below. Used parametric design.Used Fillet in the whole provided for LDR.
- I cut the design in Laser cutter machine, first for trial I used cardboard to cut out the pieces. I'll be cutting the actual one in Ply board. The fit for all the input and output design was Okay.
- Finally got the plyboard and I cut my design and this is how it turned out.
- Since the LDR sensor I had seemed open and fragile, I designed to design a cover so that it doesn't get damaged while placing the LDR in the Housing/Head.
- These are the Parameters I used.
- I used filets,combined and cut through functions.Here is a short clip of how I designed.
- This is how the final design turned out.
- I used prusa slicer to convert the design to g-code which is read by the 3D printer.
- It took me 4 mins to print the design. It turned out great, fit perfectly.
- I'm going to put the housing/head of the scarecrow on the the tripod so that where ever it will be placed, it can be stable.
- This is the parameters that I used.
- This is the design I made.
- I'll be cutting the design using the Shopbot. Since this whole week the shopbot wasn't free, I couldn't cut the my tripod. I'd be using leftover wood pieces in our lab.
- For designing this, I learnt about a website called Lithoplanemaker from Rinchhen and designed the LED lamp with a Tiger image popping up
- A Lithoplane maker is a tool or software that allows you to create lithoplanes, which are 3D printed objects that use light and shadow to create a detailed image.
- The 2nd image shown above is the 3D printed LED lamp which turned out perfectly.
- Designed a casing for the relay, battery, dfplayer and the final board in the Autodesk Fusion 360.
- Create a New document. I selected the Polygon shape with six corners. Arranged the shape so that its in the middle of the work page.
- Selected the shape and converted it to Path by going to Path, then selected Object to Path option.
- I clicked on the "Edit path by nodes" tool, selected the two nodes in the middle and enabled the transformation handles to scale these nodes down a little bit to get my desired shape.
- Did the same with the bottom corner nodes to get my desired shape for my Logo.
- To create some mountains for the background, added rectangle shape and duplicated it.
- Selected all the duplicated shapes (Shift+Click) and unify them all together by going to path and Select "Union"
- Then selected the images to be intersected and intersected the images.
- Like wise used several tools like "Path Effects","Difference","Trace Bitmap","Text", played with the textures and filters. Finally got the design I wanted.
- First clicked on the new component and renamed the component.This will help keep the files organized and easier to manage.
- For most Fusion 360 workflows, we'll have to start by creating a 2D sketch that is turned into a 3D body. I started new 2D sketches with the "Create Sketch" feature located in the toolbar or the Create Menu.
- We are then prompted to select one of the origin planes. These origin planes correspond to our X,Y and Z axis.In this case i selected the bottom XY origin plane.
- We'll see that our view is automatically reoriented to look directly at the sketch. We will now see a Sketch tab in the toolbar. The sketch tools are contextual and will only appear while in an active sketch environment.
- Before I started sketching, First I set the Parameters by choosing the "Change Parameters" from the tool barr.
- To create the Parameter, click on the "User Parameter" and start naming the parameter and giving dimensions.
- Shown below is the Parameter that i decided to use. Setting parameters make designing much easier.
- After setting parameters, I started sketching by choosing the rectangle tool. Then gave the dimensions using Parameters.
- Then I drew a line in the centre for reference to draw the dovetail joint.
- Then used the "Line" tool to draw the dovetail. Assigned the dimensions of the dovetail by using the parameter
- After that needed to duplicate the dovetail so used the "Rectangle Pattern".
- To make my design comfortable and easier to work with, I set a formula for duplicating the dovetail.
- After duplicating the dovetail, I click on "finish sketch". Then used the "Extrude" command to see the 3D sketch.
- Needed the dovetail in the other side of the plane. To do so used the "Mirror" tool.
- Then used the "Extrude" tool on the other side of the dovetail too.
- Now for the Pin board, I went back to the Sketch and drew a line.
- Then I used the "extrude" command for the Pin board and used parameters to give the dimensions.
- Used the "Combine" tool to get the joints in the pin board.
- Then I used the "Joint" tool to get the other plane of the Pin board.
- Did the same for the Dovetail Board. Hence I could achieve the 4 sides of the Box.
- LDR Cover
- Tripod Stand
- Head of my Scarecrow
