2. Computer Aided design
This week I worked on making a 3D prototype for my final.
Research
I used Fusion for the first time. I watched a youtube video about the basic uses of the program. It took me a long time to figure out how to properly move items and connect them. I made a hoop where the lightbulb would go and a possibility of what one of the petals would look like. I started by placing a Ellipse and added a rectange and combined the two into one shape. Then I made a circle and cut a hole out of it to make the ring where the light would sit. Finally I added two more rectangles and attached them so that the petal and ring could connect.
Design
I want the petals to be able to open and close as the light dims. The petal would be between two parts and have a connecting motor to move it. Which is why the petal has a extended piece which would connect between the supports attached to the ring.
