It would be interesting to figure out how to do the other parts at a future time. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:17:34 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904806315 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904806905 I really struggled with getting the blocks the right size and copy pasting them. That is until I figured out that you should press and hold alt before the mouse button, and also figured out how to adjust the snap grid so that I could be more exact. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904806905 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904807388 I copied the longer pieces first per the instructions, and now at this point just needed to finish copy pasting all the smaller blocks in between. I struggled up to this point, but once I got used to it, this project went smoothly. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:19:30 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904807388 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904807812 I fill in the other blocks using this guide. I had to adjust a few more of the blocks to be the correct size. The tutorial going one step at a time slowly was very helpful. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:20:08 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904807812 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904808390 The last piece I had to figure out was how to make them solid and fill in the correct color. At some point I had selected "hole" by accident with the blocks and didn't realize it. I changed that and selected the matching color. Here is the end result of the glasses! ]]> 2021-11-21 21:21:02 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904808390 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904809391 Next, I chose to make the die from scratch project. I thought it would be interesting to see how they make the indented letters. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904809391 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904809823 After dragging the die into place, I learned about putting new workplanes onto the workspace. I did not know you could place more than one workplane, and found this to be a useful tool to make sure your new shapes are oriented correctly. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:23:23 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904809823 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904810222 Once I figured out how to align the numbers correctly, as this took some patience, and resized it to be recessed just below the workplane, I repeated this process with all the other numbers. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904810222 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904810504 Some of the numbers were more difficult to line up than others, like the 2 and 3. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:24:36 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904810504 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904811172 After all of the numbers were attached, after repeating the process of adding a new workplane to each side and attaching a number, I then clicked on the beginning plane so that the others disappeared. The next step was to find out how to turn the 3D letters into holes on the actual die. ]]> 2021-11-21 21:25:48 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904811172 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904812183 Earlier in the process, I did not realize that I was making the number 1mm below the actual work plane because that would make a hole on the die. After they were grouped together, I just changed the numbers from solid to holes and it made the surface of the dice have numbers cut out of it.]]> 2021-11-21 21:27:44 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904812183 reswans2 https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904812682 Final product complete! I may at some future point see if my husband can print out these figures on his 3D printer. (We have an Ender Pro). ]]> 2021-11-21 21:28:45 UTC https://padlet.com/reswans2/kw79p32rvcdiakv4/wish/1904812682
