After Colene and I got our models ready for printing, I brought them with me on a USB-stick to FabLab. It took me a while to claim a printer but that gladly work out. It was my first time printing 3D models so asked for some help. They helped me with the program Cura and…

Spray painting the podiums
Cedric and I started to paint the first part of the installation. Cedric got the spray paint cans from his boss, our second sponsor. We choose the white the podiums because it will help the lights be brighter in and around the podiums. We couldn’t spray paint in the building so we went to a…
Getting the models ready for printing
Between building the podiums I have been also working on building the 3D models in Maya and getting them ready for printing in FabLab. We print it over there because it has a better printer than what we have and it can print much bigger. The models are not the actual location view but more…
Getting the location on the right podiums
After the building session, Colene and I have been working on where the locations would be placed on the installation. It took us a few hours to get them in the right place because it was difficult to don’t get the same category together and we also had the think about the heights of the…
Building the podiums part 3
Today was the third time I have been working on the podiums. I never knew that it would take this long time to get them ready. It is even hard to to get them together because my arms would hurt with sanding after a while.
Getting the wood
On this day Kaj, Jan and I went to pick up our wood for the installation. We need special flexible wood because our installation is round. Normal wood is difficult to bend that’s why we need to get this type of wood. The wood was also cut for us so that was very handy and…
Building the podiums part 2
I have been working on the podiums. I have been doing this one by one by hand. To get the walls of the podiums good on each other you’ll need to sand the sides around 45 degrees. I used the floor plan to see what the form will look like and how deep the corners…
Retrospective 3
After the third demo we discussed the updates we made on the project. Then it was time for the third retrospective where we discussed what we did well and what needed improvement. The retrospetive showed us that we are actually all on the same page when it comes the the quality of our work as…
Lasercutting the podiums
Cedric and I started using the laser cutter to cut the podiums out of the wood. I already made a floorplan but Cedric scaled it down a bit otherwise our installation would be too big. We tried to cut many as possible on one wood so we could save money. We put numbers on them…
Retrospective 2
We have done our second demo today. We have talked about our updates about our projects. After that, we were doing our second retrospective. We had written down two good and one bad thing about this sprint. We did this so we could see where we need to improve a bit.
