https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg This is my reverse-engineering project for Computer-Aided Design in Spring 2022 en-us 2022-02-23 16:21:09 UTC 2022-03-08 18:08:34 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f631.png mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2082106102 I began my Reverse Engineering Project for Computer Aided Drafting. The task for today was to select an object and keep a backup in mind. Then I will take Top, Front, Side, and Isometric view of the object
   
   Criteria:
- I interact with the object daily.
- It consists of more than 1 part.
- An appropriate level of challenge.
- I can disassemble the object.

My primary object was a tape dispenser and my backup is a water bottle. ]]> 2022-03-07 16:57:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2082106102 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2082341888 This is my views of my tape dispenser part]]> 2022-03-07 18:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2082341888 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2082343523 This is my views for my tape holder.]]> 2022-03-07 18:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2082343523 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083174463 2022-03-08 04:05:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083174463 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083176488 Today I sketched my parts and found out their measurements with a caliper and ruler.

I replicated my sketches rather quickly and I extruded what I needed to. I also added fillet to some of my edges on my object.]]> 2022-03-08 04:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083200633 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083223793 I continued to work on my part and I added the slots to it to make it actually functional with the other part. I finished it later today. ]]> 2022-03-08 04:41:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083223793 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083238080 I started on my second part I had a lot of trouble with this part and it didn't want to mirror and extrude properly, but I'm almost done with it.]]> 2022-03-08 04:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083238080 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083241624 Thought I was done with this part, but I realized that there is a hole in the bottom. I had a bit of trouble because I didn't know how to make the hole be the same outline of the part? If that makes sense. Later in the day I finished the part.]]> 2022-03-08 04:52:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083241624 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083274371 The final mass of the tape dispenser is .392 kg which way off as the actual product. I had trouble finding its material, I knew it was plastic but what kind? The actuals object weight was 0.0312 kg. ]]> 2022-03-08 05:13:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083274371 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083307195 This my finished project of the tape dispenser I reversed engineered. It's 6.6cm tall, is made out of plastic and is .392 kg. The design colors are not the same because the original colors were black. I felt like with them both being black you wouldn't be able to see the two parts very well. It functions the same you can slide that part of the tape holder.]]> 2022-03-08 05:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083307195 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083310866 Here's a video of my object moving and its multiple views.]]> 2022-03-08 05:38:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083310866 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083361472 Even though this is a tape dispenser I was thinking maybe turning into a pot for a plant. Imagine having a cute little plant at your desk. It could also be a conversation starter, because who has a tape dispenser as a pot? I also you could use to hold loose change. I know I always have loose change I don't know where to put and I don't want it in my wallet so just throw it in there and forget about and come back to it when you need it.]]> 2022-03-08 06:16:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083361472 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083363081 He thought the idea with the plant was cool, and it would definitely find a market. The idea of like a piggy bank was also neat, and I think both would be perfect for desk items.]]> 2022-03-08 06:17:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083363081 mia_nance https://padlet.com/mia_nance/yrorwbiy6coezmkg/wish/2083363439 I picked this item, because it was simple, and I believe it was something I had the ability to do with a bit of challenge. My usual approach with CAD is to take what I know and just start from scratch. With CAD I always have a just do it mentality, but I do used videos of CAD and forums to help me when I use CAD. My biggest challenge was probably making all the holes on the parts. When I would make one hole it would put a hole in a place that is not needed. Sometimes my lines wouldn't define, and it wouldn't extrude at all. I did also realize when I was doing all my measurements that they were off, so I had to fix that and that messed up a few things. I really did enjoy doing this project, because it made me feel like I accomplished something, and it was really satisfying to look at.
