CLOTHING is drawn!


Finished drawing outlines of various clothing in Rhino....ready to be exported to DXF. Tentatively, the clothing will be about .25" x .25".

For organization of clothing, we're thinking white/cream color clothes on one side of the yoyo and colors on the other side of the yoyo. There will be a misplaced black sock in each side acting as the "pointer"

White/Cream Clothing
  • bras
  • women's undies
  • men's boxers
  • men's undershirts
Colored Clothing
  • men's shorts
  • women's shorts
  • pants
  • shirts
  • tanks


STILL NEED TO DO:

ORDER different color acrylics and test if acrylic will even sink.
SET up matrix of each article of clothing
TEST size and detailing of clothing
COLOR MAP hairline outlines in CorelDraw for lasercutting




CLOTHING Inspiration!

Meeting Notes

Blog should have at least one update weekly (what we did that week, what went well, what our problems were). 

Report 3: (not due this Wednesday)
Make the molds: Do they work? Do we have to redesign it?
If yes: We redo report two.

Redo ghant chart? Nope.
Clothing:, underwear and socks.

Top Ring (Andrea/Tyler/Ola)
Inner Ring (done)
Bubble (done)
Housing/agitator (Chee/Doug)
Clothes (Andrea/Jody)


To Do (By Tuesday):
n  Redesign SW of yoyo and molds (make the top ring turnable [increase channel width to fit tools, minimum 0.08], increase the circumference of housing to be flush with the upper ring, redo the agitator to be thicker and shallower. Make sure to add fillets. Insert screw/nut hole)
o   Need to get the dimensions of the screw we’re using.
n  Mastercam:
o   Agitator/housing (Chee and Doug work on this)
o   Top ring (Andrea/Tyler do the lathe, Ola is doing the milling/engraving))

Housing Shrinkage Calculation

Shrinkage was calculated by measuring 3 yoyos from 6 different molds with varying thicknesses, plotted in the following graph as function of their thickness. A region ballpark was identified.We then calculated weighted average using only data from nearby thickness profiles.
