Week 9: Digital Models

Deathly Hallows Sign
Changed the slot size to 3mm because the acrylic is thinner than the plywood. Made hole at bottom wider so the LED fits in it
Pattern Designs:
It was suggested that I could raster a pattern onto the surface of my deathly hallows pieces. I have played around with the simple geometrics of the shapes it consists of (triangles, circles and vertical lines) to see what can be found...


Criss-cross base design...


Negative extrusion through the centre to have the battery sit in

flat bottom
Cylinder, asymmetrically extruded because the centre of the plane is in the centre of the model. I wanted to have the battery sitting below the level that the Hallows sign would be sitting at otherwise it would get in the way

Sphere base design...

Solid sphere minus the criss-cross to slot Hallow into. Chamfered in centre to allow space for the slotting to happen smoothly
Slot for battery to sit in.
Flat bottom for stability
