More eyeslits!

Because there weren't enough before.



To digitize the glasses to this point, all I had to do was take measurements between the points highlighted below, as well as the height;

I didn't really have troubles drawing them in space, but since my GPU went through a driver update, the visuals have been coming through rather strangely. I'll revert to the old drivers for the time being and see if that fixes things.

I've got to make joints for the glasses so they can fold... or maybe I should make them solid? We'll see. I'll try both.

NO TAPE FOR YOU; Eyewear Adventures

I forgot my tape.



But hey, I have the basic cutout of what I want.

I screwed up the length of the earpiece first time around; above you can see my changes.


Well, here is how it stands for now. Will reinforce everything with duct tape tomorrow morning!

CNC Sample Concept Design

Talking about fractals, Mike Doborski and I have decided to go with a version of a design he had attempted previously; here is the current iteration of the design.

Kind of sun-like! The radial points will have to be smoothed, although we'll see how this turns out in CAM first.

Digitized Knife!

Rhino is perhaps the most annoying program I have used to create a complex blade shape! However, once I understood why I was being limited, it was easy enough to remodel the blade how it was intended. Without further ado, the pictures!


This was a very fun project to attempt! It's made it more clear how I would go about making my own custom designs in Rhino, in the future.

Digitized knife... almost.

Well I have to say this was a very overwhelming week, and resulted in an underwhelming object.

Everything has been drawn, although some final adjustments need to be made... more updates to come.
