protoscape

when my 3d model was ready i started thinking about how to print it. after contacting 3d hubs and discovering it would cost me around 130 euro's is decided to take a different approach. I started searching for other selutions and when somebody told me about the fablab in Utrecht I discovered the "protoscape". a little company placed in the middle of the industrial part of the city. protoscape eventually exists out of a few people a big room and a lot of machines, from laser printers to paper cutters and injection moulding machines. i decided to take a look at an open evening to talk about the options of printing it there. I spoke with a few students there about my project and i made another appointment to plan my 3d print. i hired a printer for 3 hours and printed all my parts. in the meantime while my object where printing. the people there thought me a lot about what was happening and for example what the best options where for the next thing I was going to print. very informative!

matirials

went to rotterdam to pick upp my "plastidip". some sort of rubber spray which is going to make my speaker schock resistant

practice

did loads of 3d modeling practice. to practice the use of strict masurements i made a 3d model of my phone in scale. i also made a case for it which is at a 3d printing company for control right know. i expext to hace it in a few days.

writing work

the full intro part is ready now. prezi has given me lots of designing opportunities so the basic layout has also been done.

working time: 2 hours

regarding prezi research

apparently there is no storage limit on a prezi. although you have to consider the maximum overall storage which is about 2 gig. the size of a word document with 3 pages is about 40 kb which is 0,0004 gigabyte so I guess 2 gig is a reasonable amount of storage for my PWS.

mentor talk

second mentor talk, my mentor made me a overview of the things i will be criticized at on the first version. i also got some clarity about the structure and setup off the theoretical part of my pws.

Gesprek

Inhoud

Je hebt me je prezi laten zien en we hebben gezamenlijk je deelvragen aangescherpt. De structuur ligt nu klaar om ingevuld te worden, met uitleg en bronnen en daarna je eigen handeling.

Vormgeving

Ik heb je schetsen gezien, je oriënteert je nog op interne vormen in de speaker. Je gaat later eenvoudige test doen om te kiezen welke uitvoering het beste zal werken.

Indicatie

Je kunt nu gemakkelijk verder met heel concrete delen van je onderzoek. Je bent enthousiast en ik zie het wel zitten.

Afspraken

- Deelvragen aangepast hanteren

- Deelvragen uitwerken: per stap een algemene uitleg, interessante voorbeelden en vervolgens hoe jij het zelf doet.

- Prezi verder onderzoeken: hoe ver kun je gaan? Hanteren als vorm voor PWS.

- Later: tests met interne vorm speaker.

- Voor volgende gesprek wil je je motivatie en je 1e deelvraag uitgewerkt hebben.

Akkoord

Ik laat je na elk gesprek lezen wat ik heb opgeschreven. Daarna mail ik het je toe.

time: 30 minutes

prezi overview

made a prezi presentation. mostly to get on overview off the subjects and theme's I still have to cover. if been thinking about making my whole theoretical part in prezi, because i just really like the way prezi makes writing fun. but i still have to do some research on that because i don’t know what prezi applied as maximum storage.

mentor talk

had a talk with my mentor today, disqussed the proces and made some opinions. very helpfull.

Gesprek week 39

Inhoud

Je hebt al inhoudelijk al aardig wat onderzocht. Je hebt materialen, een ontwerp, bent op de hoogte van ontwerpstappen en weet waar je je speaker wilt uitprinten. Je houdt een blog bij als logboek.

Vormgeving

Je hebt al een ontwerp. Het proces heb ik niet kunnen zien.

Indicatie

Je hebt al een nette basis maar het wordt nu belangrijk dit concreet te maken en toe te werken naar een theoriedeel en een praktisch deel.

Afspraken

- Per ontwerpstap ga je een theoretisch deel behandelen en daarna je eigen, praktische deel. Je houdt de 7 ontwerpstappen aan.

- Per theoretische stap kun je gebruik maken van goede bronnen, om zo je stuk theoretisch te verantwoorden

- Je neemt je ontwerpwerk mee naar het volgende gesprek

Akkoord

Ik laat je na elk gesprek lezen wat ik heb opgeschreven. Daarna mail ik het je toe.

3d printig network

signed in to a ''3d printing hub'' website. a site where 3d printer owners from all over the world can connect to the hub and give other people the opportunity to use their 3d printers. it’s as simple as normal 2d printing only then you’re using someone else’s printer. choosing a 3d printer in your neighborhood, choosing a 3D slt. file and picking it up when its ready.
