This is my complete reflection for the whole project, i am going to reflect on all of the design processes that i went through during this term.
During this term i started with learning and trying out as well as learning simple designs on tinker CAD to learn the required skills. On my blogs that is one of my first posts after the basics of printing and 3D printing. After that we started to look at basic problems that negatively affects our working and personal lifestyle in some way, like that job takes too much time but it is necessary so we have to so it. I choose to do my project about a problem that my friends as well as people in my community face. then once i had a vivid image of what my product would look like i created my design specification. My specification consisted of what my image will look like as well as the marketing side of it. we also thought about the advantages and disadvantages of using tinker CAD for my design. In this i considered the advantages as well as disadvantages of using tinker CAD. I thought that using a website that is as easy to operate and get through like tinker CAD would mean that i could make what i want easily without any complicated errors. One of the disadvantages that i thought was that using tinker CAD would mean that it would not look realistic to go in a house, because of this my wanted aesthetics would not be fulfilled. if i had the choice to i would make the base of my product on tinker CAD and then i would copy it to another 3D printing website like sculptor to make this product more realistic looking.
Next we went onto criteria B, this mainly consisted of making 2 designs and reflecting on them. i made my designs so they both would do the same thing but had a few changes. as i was reflecting i realized how one would be much more convince than the other for the customer. during this i considered the ease of access as well as the design and if i would be well camouflaged within the surroundings of the house so the pets cant easily access it.
For criteria C i used tinker CAD to create my product, during this i faced a lot of difficulties and many of them were what i expected. i could not make the design look realistic and even though i was able to access it from all angles i was not sure of how it would look once it was created. i also was not able to make my deign open and close for the drawers which added to the problems. For next time when i am creating my design on paper i need to keep in mind that i will not be able to create the design on tinker cad the exact way i want it to look in real life.
