Lesson notes¶
3D modelling¶
tips¶
- sketch what you wanna make
- When drawing what is your organic shape gonna be (cube, cylinder)
- how big
- what parts are gonna be in your project
good practices¶
- Work with real measurements (real units)
- Start with simple shapes
- Divide your model into sections (different components)
- Use groups and name your parts
- ctrl+s
- iterate and review
- document
other things¶
- Try making something simple in 3 different cad programs.
- plan the final project in the first weeks
Electricity¶
¶
* V = Voltage
* I = Ampere
* R = Resistance
Videos and electronics (also applies to programming)¶
- Work along videos as you're watching them.
AI notice for electronics¶
ask chat gpt to explain things as if you're 12 then 18 then as a electrical engineer. tldr: ramp up how complicated the explanation is.
Final project do's and dont's¶
Do's¶
- 2D and 3D drawings
- Try hiding the electronic parts
- Document everything
- Inside the video: conception construction and operation.
- use purposeful holes.
- research design, shape, material and durability
- Make the project more personal
Dont's¶
- lasercut press fit box
- loose wires
- no breadboard
- No glue gun
Extra notes¶
- keep on practicing its a full time job
- don't strive for perfection
