Research
This is the research that I did in my designer notebook.
Notebook Project:
This is the process I went through to design and create my notebook.
Recipe:
The process to create my notebook was in my opinion really fun. I started out by finding images of the Waunakee Mens Soccer Logo and Liverpool FC's logo. Then I put the images into illustrator along with my name. Next I had to make sure all the lines I needed to cut were red and a vector length of 0.0001. Now I was able to print. I put my design into the UCP Laser software and set it up so it would cut through the material I was using. After that I started printing and it took about 7 minuets to completely print out. After it was done printing I punched holes in it and I was done.
Water Bottle project:
This is the process of designing and creating my water bottle.
Recipe:
The process of making my water bottle started with me designing what would go on my bottle. The design that I choose was the champions league logo. Then I had to shape my design so it would correctly fit on my water bottle. Once that was done I put the design into the laser and changed the settings so it would engrave the metal water bottle. Then I started the print which took about 5 minutes. In the end my bottle turned out very well and I really liked the way it looked.
Thingiverse Project:
This is the process of my thingiverse project.
Recipe:
The process of the thingiverse started out with going to the website Thingiverse and downloading a file of the blue print of the design I choose into illustrator. The design is a mammoth. Then I changed the lines to red and the vector size to 0.0001 so the laser would cut the lines. After that I put the file into the UCP software and then the started the print. The print took about 6 minutes. After it was done printing, I had to put it together which wasn't as hard as I thought it was. Finally I was done with the thingiverse project and I was very happy on how it turned out.
Summary:
My this project I learned how to laser engrave a waterbottle, print put a notebook, and cut out pieces to assemble into a mammoth. Now I am very confident when I use the laser and now I will be comfortable making anything on the laser.
