week 1
This week was spent on working on the google sketch-up, to make a schematic for a 3D printer-ready finger clip. This goal was pretty staight forward but had some hard time figuring out a way to cut a circular hole through the curve surface. After going through lots of youtube videos I finally figure out a way to do the cutting job on the curve surface in sketchup. Here is the associated /CDIO/ page.

week 2
Lots of attempts were made to 3d print the finger-clip. Its either Makerbot or Sketchup that is not properly working. Various designs were created on sketchup but none of them seems to be working. The focus is completely diverted towards the discordance between the Makerbot and Sketchup. From my view there could be three different stage where problem can take place 1)Sketch-up 2)File converter (from .skp to .stl) and 3)Makerware/Makerbot. Here is the associated /CDIO/ page.

week 3
As I mentioned about the issue last week, I installed tons of different .skp to .stl converters but none of them seems to be working right. so now the aimed is diverted towards the whole new 3D software called 3Dtin. I have created couple different models on 3Dtin but unfortunately 3D printer stop working so couldn't really see if there some other error that needs to be fixed. Here is the associated /CDIO/ page.

week 4
Final week was spent working on 3Dtin, an online 3d modeling software. And a successful/error-less model was created on that software. 3Dtin is a 3d software where you add various geometric shapes to create an entire new model out of all the shapes. Here is the associated /CDIO/ page.
