DIGIFAB Project

 For the winter term I took Digital fabrication a class focused around teaching students how to use machinery to create and manipulating them from a computer. For during this class we were encouraged to learn how to use as much machinery as possible. I choose to use a 3D printer to create a figure of a spartan from my favorite video game franchise Halo. and I took my interest in aeronautics to create a SR71A Blackbird and a D-21 Drone 

Black Bird Timeline

    When we first learned about CNC machines and SVGs is when I first started this project I first took the profile & birds eye for view for both aircraft from bagera3005 and created the fuselage, chine & wings. I then I moved onto the refining the profile of the ramjets for the SR71. We didn't get the laser cutter working until the last week where this model was the guinea pig for the laser printer. after a handful of test I finally created the final model. if I had more time i would change the width of the gaps so the model made a tighter fit.

Spartan Time line

    As for the story of the spartan I pretty quickly decided that's what I want to do when we first started 3D printing. I first downloaded Halo Reach & Halo 4 to my computer and extracted the files through Reclaimer and then used a Blender addon to convert AMF files used in halo to a rigged model useable in Blender. after posing the model and attaching the weapons I set it up to print. it took over a week to remove the supports. The model didn't come out of the supports unscathed the knife on the left shoulder broke off, the sniper rifle on the back become "sawed off" and after accidentally dropping the figure the stand broke off but some gorilla glue fixed that. If I had more time I would reprint it with tree supports for faster removal and take more care removing the supports so it comes out complete.

The Burger Battle

for this unit named birth in our food for thought class we spent our time learning about the industrialization of food and how it affects the worlds diets and cultures. I learned about Michael Pollan's philosophy and observations of how foods and diets change because of the industrial revolutions. so for this project my class had to compare a food made at home to one made at a restaurant and describe both dishes with the most detail and give a conclusion of which one better. for this project i decided to compare a burger from McDonalds to one grilled at home. the reason why I chose to do MacDonald for the project is because it seems to be the stereotype for fast food chain with paying next to nothing to employees giving lackluster unhealthy products in next to no time after you order them, not to mention the seemingly endless amount of mistakes and contravenes. for the burger made at home it's very simple when it comes to prep and cooking. first we took all the Kir...

For this past unit of cure we studied surgery (including talking to an anesthesiologist and researching a specific procedure. So i decided to research internal fixation because I have a source readily available. So here is my project:

On Tuesday 8/31/21 My school took me to the sonic sound pavilion to learn about the manipulation of sound for the many. Of the two pieces we ha time to hear I prefer the piece by TALsounds. the work is simular in tone and sound as music by C418 with less  emphasis on the piano and for airy sounds. Throughout the work the grows stranger or spiral outs from a place of comfort to the unknown like a comet orbiting a star.  the vast field is highly subjective many people will like the open space and fresh air and others will hate the lack of chairs and climat control in the "classroom". so how conducive it is for learning is dependent on the person and the time. But if there was a way to limit the outside in a classroom to the people that will benefit
