One Last Shot at CAD

  • Last week
    • I designed several more iterations of the heel components using various TinkerCAD shape generators. I came into a few issues with the fact that I was using generators made by the TinkerCAD community, so when I would try and modify the designs, I would encounter glitches in the design. I was finally able to get a few versions that I feel good about and  sent them to the printing department on Saturday, but they will not be ready until tomorrow. All of the designs involve a tapered shape so that when a layer is extended downwards, it cannot fit through the bottom of the layer outside of it.

    • Additionally, with one of the designs I tried to design a stop to catch the layer when it is wound back up.

  • This week
    • Work on motor functionality and put the final shoe together.
