Eric Crowell Portfolio

Hello

Im Eric. I am a junior International Affairs major with a global humanitarian development concentration. I am interested in advancing my 3D designing and printing abilities. I have always been interested in manufacturing and craftsmanship. I am hoping this class will possibly help me down the road as I would like to learn 3D modeling to help me build my own house.

Grab Bag Noun: Helicopter

My noun was helicopter. I used semi circles for the body and a cone for the tail. I was a bit worried about the structural integrity of the rotors given that they do not have much contact with the body.

I had originally forgot to turn on structural support as you can see on the left. The second time I made the model much smaller and added support. After trimming off the support, I am very satisfied with the final result.

20 Objects

Table, lamp, game system- wanted to play around with the premade objects
Pyramids- simply triangles sized to represent the pyramids of Giza
TV
Refrigerator
House
Hearts
Snowman
Smiley face
Skyscraper- tried to represent the Sears Tower
Premade character with sunglasses and mustache
Premade ‘Coral’ bunched together- I wanted to try and make a more abstract shape
Green box- box is made from premade ‘mazes’
Flashlight
Saturn- I made the ring more of an oval so that if it were to be printed, it would have points of contact with the sphere
Mountain terrain
Pencil
Windmill-tried to represent a more traditional dutch windmill
Audi Emblem
Couch
Camera
Helicopter

Moving Parts

I made a wind turbine for my moving parts project

Tinkercad Final Project

I’m making a 3D model of lower Manhattan using google maps.

It took a significant amount of time to go through each building and make it but, the most challenging aspect of the project was trying to get the proportions and scaling accurate. I ended up printing the model very small for the sake of time. Being that it was so small, the antenna on the One World Trade Center did not print. Also, a couple of my docks came off when I separated model from the adhesion because they were so thin.
