project 1b

And here is the finished product. I am quite pleased with how it has come out but annoyingly the chemicals I had ordered where coming from overseas before being sent to me so I had to cancel the order because they werent going to arrive until tuesday the 13th at the earliest.

 

 

 

I love the last photo there, the colour and glow are very powerful in this image and are exactly how I wanted them to look. Unfortunatly the chemicals used in my presentation did not activate!!! very annoying. I had opened several glowsticks and seperated the chemicals on thursday morning before the presentation and kept them in seperate bottles but having waited outside thier origonal containers must have oxidesed them or somethingc to stop them from working. hopefully I can at least bring some more for the next class so it can be seen turning on

I then turned to solid works to create an acurate final design for my project. Here are the pieces and a render of my design

I like the facets for the acrylic vessels, they give it an incredible scape. the 3d printed middle piece was a bit of a problem, I went to get it printed by arthur and it was going to cost me $270
so I made some changes and cut some of the pieces in half and took the price down to $67.90
which is a much better number

Here are the last few pages from my notebook and my final design (ish).

This was my final design that I ended up changing quite a bit, I was unable to find any vessel I liked the shape of and decided to use laser cut acrylic to make a vessel
