Key Chains part 2

The 1st step to making you key chain will be to trace it in Google Sketch-up. Save a picture from the internet in a location where you can find it. Then go to file then click import. 

You will have to switch the file types to all supported to find pictures

Place the photo so it is flat on your work space . 

Use line/ free hand tool to trace around object. You may have to adjust after 

You may have to make a hole in your key chain for writing. this is done by drawing the shape. selecting the shape and deleting the shape which will make a hole in the middle of your drawing. 

At the end of you tracing the inside of the shape should turn solid if not you have a gap in the lines which need to be filled.

Next you will expand everything so it has ts 3D effect. 

the next part is up to you mattering on how you want to connect your pieces. you can either add connections to hold everything together or make a backing plate.

What have 3D printers been used for in the science community? Why is this important? Who does it benefit?

Think of 6 different keychain ideas that you would be interested in making:

Check with Mr. Sheppard which ones would work. You will have to find a vector or line drawing of the symbol that you would want. After confirming find the symbol.

3D Stage 5

The last part of the 3D design before we start the key chain will be building a fence around your house.

• 4cm wide picket
• 100 cm tall (not including the point)
• 8cm gaps between pickets
• 4cm rail overhang on each side

 

 Paint the inside of the fence a different colour from the outside.

Once the fence is a component copy and past enough to surround your WHOLE yard.

 

• The connections between fence panels needs to be exact
• The connections at the corners need to be exact.

• The length and width of the fence need to be exact (adjust your yard size).
