Hello Y'all! This week was spent working on the Lasy Susan for my sister, it was originally for her birthday but it's only a month late. No time pasted at all. I've also been brainstorming what to do after this project is done, which I haven't made much ground on. Anyways, let's jump into this week in The Shop.
Starting off Monday, I finished the Poster Project I've working on for the last few weeks. I cleaned up the wiring and did some last minute checks to make sure that nothing magically broke over the weekend. As I was doing these last minute checks, the wires to the battery pack deiced to break, fantastic. Lucky it was a simple fix, just replace the wires with the wires we have in the shop. I was able to take it home that night, I'm still on the hunt for some thumbtacks I have in my house, so I wasn't to hang it up yet soon thought. I started finishing up the Lasy Susan model in CAD but I wasn't able to finish it up before the bell rang.
Coming back Tuesday, I finally finished up the model. I wanted to do a size test in cardboard just to make sure it would fit on my sister's drawer. As I was cutting it out, I quickly realized that it was way too big. Scaling it down in CAD didn't take long, but I did do double checks on basically all of the measurements to make sure that it was the right size this time. I've also decided to cut some of the makeup holders in half, as the whole thing was a bit too tall. The 3d printers had a long line of people waiting to use it, so I used the resin printers to print out most of the parts. The actually base of the Lasy Susan I cut out of 1/4 wood, as it would basically hold everything and I wanted it to be strong.
I didn't cut out the holes for the stands on the wood as I thought I could just drill out the holes but as I was doing just that, the drill kept breaking and splitting the wood. I decided to just re-cut the wood after adding the modeled holes in Inkscape. The pieces was finally done printing by the start of Thursday, I got them washed and cured in their respective machines. It took a while to remove the supports and sand the pieces down, but they turned out great! I have to re-degisn/add some things to the spinning part of the Lasy Susan as I forget that things don't naturally spin on their own. I'm planning on getting that done on Friday as well as washing and curling the holder pieces I set to print out at the end of Thursday.
