Object Design: The Process

  Ideas: 1. Chain Chomp Clock: Straightforward, a simple Chain Chomp biting into a clock, I would imagine this one being resin printed, getting a more accurate design of a crushed clock and possibly laser cutting for marks in the glass, adding a crack like pattern. It would be made up in two or three parts, the ball, chain, and clock. Making for easy access when needing to change the time or deal with the clock. 2. Sand Castle Clock: This one could be fun, a sand castle clock with little crab hands, I could make it a simple mound of sand with a tiny castle and building tools for sand castles on the side, add a simple spray adhesive and cover it in sand to really bring it to life. Furthermore I could add a nice blue glass to the front so it's extra ocean like. Also would be cool to have some water around as a base. Access to the clock pieces would be from the front 3. Melting Clock: Another simple idea, a melting clock that pools over the edge of a table. Classic clock shape with be...

 prepping for the water jet cutter I simplified my approach to save on time and material removal, thinking on it I could have simplified the bend assist lines better and I should have created a couple of tabs to hold it together but I am happy with the design                                                                       old style new style

 I guess I had jumped the gun a little bit there, but anyways, I took the rolled out model and prepped it for laser cutting by using Make2D and changing the folding lines to their own layer that changed them all to dotted lines      The end result of paper laser cutting honestly it turned out super well! I did squish it a few times but it was easy to pop back out and surprisingly durable. I did miss a couple of tabs above due to poor folding planning but hopefully I can fix that in the future.
