Wildcard Week¶
Goals¶
Design and produce something with a digital process (incorporating computer aided design and manufacturing) not covered in another assignment, documenting the requirements that your assignment meets, and including everything necessary to reproduce it. Possibilities include but are not limited to wildcard week examples.
Prior Knowledge¶
None, I cannot sew.
Flagpole¶
Although this was just 3D printing, this is the framework for my dimensions, so it made sense to include. This would be one of the rare times I pay attention to filament color - grey was the most realistic for the flagpole.
I measured the ideal dimensions for the flag, 2 inches tall and 3.5 wide. I added an extra half inch of width since I would use glue to wrap the design around the flag.
Flag¶
I referenced James Khan’s documentation for the InkScape software. My file did not require any more steps than his, so I followed those exact steps.
- Image
- File - Document Properties
- Set dimensions
- Import
- Trace bitmap
- Delete original image
- Setup
- Extensions - Ink/Stich - Params
- Change spacing between rows to .2
- Save as .pes
