T4:1- mechnical toy

On this term we started to design and make a mechanical toy. I found a youtube clip from the internet which called Mitten and Mice. And last lesson, I cut off some woods to make the box underneath the toy. On this lesson, Mr Ward showed how to glue them up and place the stick in the middle of the box so we can set up our mechanism. We haven't had very much time on our own. So today i've just finished the sanding, but I'm considering about make the vertical side shorter to 100mm. When I just look at Mr Ward doing them, it looks so easy and definitely can finish it by the end of the term. But I know reality is always diffrent :) if anyone in our class is capable doing that, why would she be in school as an student to learn something :) and I'm not quite sure whether I can remember whole things untill nextweek df class... I thought I maybe able to finishe that if I holding on to my toy for whole day which is 24hours, I mean and I just done the calculation. We have 3 df lessons in a week which goes for about an hour. Therfore 24 divide by 3 is equal go 8. But this term is only 8 weeks, so that means I can't finish my toy by the end of this term :( anyway, I will try my best, and if can remember it, i will take photo of my progress :) 

T3- 5: mechanical toy

I wanted to do bees at first time with horses instead of bees. But now we can't do the bees anymore because bees and punch and judy are too easy. and duck is too hard. So yesterday, I considered between trex, bird, perky pork and blackbird pie. And finally, today I decided to do bird but still, i'm not quite sure about it. i want to do t-rex but that and black bird pie seem to be too hard.But I think, if I print off the promotion of the bird, i may able to set my mind to it :) and because we don't have much time to done the toy. but in my personal ambition of finishing it, so I think i'm going to do the bird for t4, mechanical toy unit

Today was the due date for the assessment and luckily, I finished my vase and stand at morningtea and Mr Ward gave us time to print them off!!!! so I have enough time to hand them in. :) I wante to make a flower to put inside of the vase but I found hard to creat the flower when I looked at Alina's rose, it seemed to be beautiful and bit ease but it actually wasn't so I gave up with it... it wasn't compulsory so.,... tehehe now i'm working on my key tag!!! and so excited about producing my key tag by CAD program!!!! and now I really don't feel bad or depressed anymore :) becuase now I finished my DF, and japanese test but still there are english, history and camp :( but it makes me feel more comfortable and easy:) Well, we still have DF test on Thursday... anyway!!! now I will be concentrating on my key tag =)

I've finished my vase and almost done the stand but the problem is that I forgot to borrow a lap top during the weekend!!!! arggggghghhhh so I hope we have time to finish on our design at lesson on Monday and i will work on 500 word response. This term's assignment was bit difficult than other term. because I ain't a computer person and I can't decide on one particular design. The other thing that depressing me is because Alina's soooo good!!!! her variety of creation and design always tempt me to copy her... and mine seems to be terrible T.T compare to her's. I assume this task requires to take less than 5 hour to finish both vase and stand but I use all my time to spend on accuracy and design!!! if I can time slip back to i get this task, it would take me about an hour to do this task!!!! I don't have laptop or ProDesktop to do this, so I have to wait till tomorrow and hope I get some time for assemble and printing hopelly. and to finish up my stand.... on last lesson Mr Ward showed us how CAD machine works and it was amazed me. Honestly, I wasn't quite convinced that the machine can produce something itself just by ordering it on computer. And it did work with a great accuracy and delicate!!! that machine maybe the machine is more obedient than I do...!!! tehehe. And Mr Ward told me he will do mine first!!! I felt very pleased on the day but now i'm feeling quite guilty and sorry because I do have design for my name tag but I haven't even started and I didn't even completed my assignment... I'm not very good student :'( so than I will need much time to design my name tag whilst other girls are waiting and excited to making theirs :( Anyway I truly thank you for Mr Ward even if he was just saying. thank you for your offer Mr Ward:)!!!!

I decided my vase design and started to design it!! but I took hours of time to make my stand but now i don't like it... So I decide to start my stand again :(

T3 ProDesktop - 2

During this process, i found hard to undo on the program because when I did something wrong twice, I can only undo the first one. I had to start again when I did make a mistake twice. Secondarly, I can't find out the mistake by myself. when I ask to do something in order, sometimes it doesn't work properly. The ProDesktop is a brilliant program but I can't go back. Maybe I could if I learn more about it but those are the only difficulties I found on this system until today. Also I found hard to memorise the process of assemble in two objects.

T3 ProDesktop-1

This reflection is my first in this term. Until today I didn't realised that I had to write reflection for every lesson i've done for df classes. from now we learnt about conducting 2D shapes such as rectangle, oval, circle and even the square with equal dimensions. Futhermore, in second or third lesson we were able to conduct even a 3D shape of  rectangular cubes, pyramids and sylinder etc. From recent lesson we learnt processs of designing name tag, water bottle and pagers followed instruction occasionally from Mr Ward and also from textbook. On this week's first lesson from my memory, we've done the wheel designing. Now we are given tasks to do with the techniques we have learnt about thisprogram. Briefly, we need to design vase and stand. In addition, we have to do written work as well for this assessment. I atttenpted to making vases last lesson but I can't make out with good design. My plan for now is to plan for a design first stop, before I produce it on to ProDesktop. The assessment also require to draw the platform of the material.

All techniques we learnt was all fairy interesting. There are the lists of some techniques we've learn:

revolve: this technique is recently use to create a water bottle and vase
extrude: the technique is constantly  use for decoration or to manufacture a 3D shapes
project profile: the technique frequently use to grave letters on the face of the shape or to bore through the material
dimension: to put the dimenstions into the numbers you want
