Drafting and Design 12 – Second Self Assessment

Fusion 360 3D Project

Winnie the Pooh inspired tape holder

This project was the more enjoyable out of all of the ones this year. I struggled at first while trying to come up with an idea, I rotated through three or four ideas before ultimately choosing this one. After finishing my hand drawings, I got critiqued on needing to change a few of the dimensions, but overall the design was nice, and my sketches were neat.

When it came to creating the design on Fusion 360 it was a little challenging at first, but the former practice assignments certainly helped. After creating the design, I had to rotate a few of the pieces so they’d fit together, and would also be on a good angle for printing.

The drawings were quite easy to create, I just had to figure out where to place my dimensions.

Once I got my final mark (which I was extremely happy with), my teacher printed out the design. They were big chunks of plastic so it took a few days. It was hard to take out the supports in the torso (the mid red piece) but after it was all pieced together, along with a roll of tape, it looked really good; and it worked.

Overall, I can experiment with different ways of doing things (CRITICAL THINKING); being able to create my idea on paper and digitally. I can show a sense of accomplishment and joy (PERSONAL AWARENESS AND RESPONSIBILITY); my overall reflection here about it.
