Week 5

This week, I worked more with 3D modeling in Fusion 360 and also experimented with designing and assembling laser-cut gears.

Further 3D Modeling in Fusion

First, I tried creating two different versions of a shopping cart key in Fusion 360. Below are embedded frames showing the two models:

I then 3D-printed the resulting model:

Next, I designed two gears and used the laser cutter to cut them out from plywood. I then placed them on a holder where they could mesh together:

The final result turned out great, and the gears actually rotate when you spin either one:

Below is a short video showing them in motion (hosted on YouTube):
