Adam Edelbi Proposal: Mixed Techniques

 1) Proposal Statement: 

    - For my project, I plan to make a game device for a card game I play called Magic the Gathering. I want the device to include space to store my deck, space to store dice and extra card tokens, and some way to keep track of my life total.

Here are some pictures of inspiration for the project:





2) Advise:

     -  I mainly spoke to Dawson about this project idea. He advised me on what I should do for the mechanism to keep track of my life total. He showed me a pill holder he had that adjusted with a clicker and told me I could use something similar as the mechanism to keep track of the life total. He also told me I could find designs online to be 3D printed for the life total. Here are some images of potential mechanisms I could try to make for the life count:



3) Rough Game Plan

     - I plan to separate this project into 2 parts: the wooden part and the life counter. The wooden part I plan to design in fusion and have the entire thing done by the CNC machine since I will need very precise cuts to hold the dice, etc. As for the life counter, I plan on either designing it myself or finding a design online to be printed by the 3D printers. I will make sure to add a place in the wooden part to hold the life counter so that once they are both complete, I just have to join the part together to finish the project. Also, depending on the design I go with for the life counter, I will either need to use the CNC machine or the 3D printer. In order to fulfill the project requirements, if both parts of my project use the CNC I will incorporate the laser cutter to print some cool designs on the project,


4) Needs

    - The two most important things I need for this project are the fusion designs for the two parts. As for the materials needed, wood will be fine as well as the material used in the 3D printers. I will need to use some sort of screw on the life counter so that the life numbers can be adjusted back and forth; I am still not sure what I will use for this since it will need to be very small. Overall, the biggest part of the project is making sure that my fusion designs are accurate, as well as having a detailed process for each of the steps Im going to take.

    Very cool. I'd give advice but you seem to have a frim grip on the process and material needs. I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Lizzie Edwards Project 2: Laser Cutter

Process Using Fusion 360, I started creating my box based on a paint brush holder that I found online. I decided to use simple dimensions for my box so I wouldn't take too long in Fusion. Creating the box was pretty easy, but then I needed to add the holes for the brushes which was the most difficult part. With some help in class, I was able to create the holes and extrude that side of the box without failure. Once my drawing was done, I was able to move over my sketches to Adobe Illustrator to print them out. I got help doing this part so it went pretty smoothly. I loosely fit all my pieces together to make sure it worked. Then I had to decide on an image to put on the side of the box. For this I kept it simple and chose some paint brushes so people know what it is for. Once I uploaded the image to Illustrator, I used the machine to etch the photo on my box. First we did a test run to make sure the photo and settings would create a good image. When I was done with this, I glued my...

Introduction  Hello! My name is Katherine Behrens, but you can call me Kate. I am a psychology and political science double major. I am also a captain of the women's volleyball club here at Trinity! I was born and raised in Denton, Texas, but traveled frequently with my parents to San Antonio when I was younger and knew it would be a perfect fit for me. Just far enough from home but close enough to visit on long weekends. I'm looking forward to graduating in May where I hope to continue my academic studies in foreign relations and national security.  Trinity University Women's Club Volleyball Team Interests  I have been playing volleyball for at least ten years now. I have played throughout high school on both my school team and in club sports, and have been grateful to continue to play competitively in college club. I also love to travel! I have participated in two study abroad programs though Trinity. The first of which was the International Criminal Justice program wit...

  Introduction   My name is Dr. Wilson Terrell Jr., and I'm the Associate Provost - started this position in June 2022. In addition, I'm an Associate Professor of Engineering Science in the D. R. Semmes School of Science - started at Trinity in 2003. I graduated with a B.S., M.S., and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (Fighting Illini - home of the best deep dish pizza Papa Dels). Interests I have always love "making" since getting my first Lego set. While in high school, my favorite classes were math, physics, and chemistry. My physics teacher encouraged me to attend a summer engineering program at the University of Illinois, which helped me to pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. Here at Trinity, I primarily teach upper division mechanical engineering type courses and labs, and freshmen engineering design. This is the second time I have taught this course, when it was a pilot called ENGR 2191, Special Topics ...
