Using the onshape tuturial made it simple and manageable to create this rocket. The 3D printing of the three parts went smoothly and all that was left to do was assemble the rocket. Putting the rocket together was not too difficult although, it did require patience when it came to pulling the elastic through a small hole in the body. The rocket was read to launch but, unfortunately on launch day the rocket did not work. This hiccup was probably due to the wire not touching the engine. After the engine is replaced, it's bound to work. Below are pictures of the 3D rocket.

The last piece of the rocket to create was the nosecone. This section of the tutorial went very smoothly and I had no problems. The link to the tutorial and the finalized nosecone is shown below:
Tutorial: http://www.stageoneeducation.com/cad-tutorial/nosecone1.html The next step to creating the Onshape rocket was adding the fins and boosters to the middle body. This part of the tutorial was a little longer than the previous middle body section. Overall the steps were easy to follow and I successfully connected the fins and boosters with only one mishap. After making the launch pad connector I followed the directions to fillet the top and sides of the opening, the top worked fine but when it came to putting a fillet on the sides that section read error. I continued to redo that portion but it didn't work until I came to class and received help from my teacher. The rest of the fins and booster tutorial was completed without problem. The fins and booster connected to the middle body is shown below:
Onshape Rocket Tutorial: http://www.stageoneeducation.com/cad-tutorial/lower-body1.html We are creating a rocket with the 3D printer using Onshape. The first step is creating the fuselage: the middle body of the rocket. Following the tutorial was not easy at times and when I messed up I would go back and redo the directions from a certain point. On the other hand, the gifs in the tutorial were very helpful; allowing me to see how the model is supposed to look like. My two main problems were making the extrudes and putting the fuselage on section view. To fix the extrudes I went back a few steps and followed the directions closely, and the problem was fixed. I must have had the wrong part selected because at first the extrude turned red (meaning it wasn't working). For the section view, the selection made the right panel of my screen black and orange. It was hard for me to see the sliced middle body, unlike the gif shown, because it impaired my view. I left the weird black panel alone and finished the directions that required section view, it was hard but manageable. Below is a screenshot of the rocket's middle body and a link to the tutorial:
http://www.stageoneeducation.com/cad-tutorial/index.html When finalizing my macroscope I fit the mirrored tape onto the inside of the cardboard enclosure. In order to keep the rastering continuous I cut off one of the ending sides that was originally set to overlap. My teacher had the bright idea of using a section of the tape to connect the separated sides which worked out perfectly. Following, I hot glued the top pieces together and cut the top square to a smaller size so it was just big enough to cover the opening. Next I glued the camera to cardboard pieces, using the original shaker macroscope for direction. My shaker macroscope was completed! Now onto using it to capture images, I took various objects around me in the lab to create interesting movement and still photos; a few are shown below. I used colorful earplugs and multiple screws. I am very pleased with the outside look and the pictures produced with the shaker! I chose to create the shake macroscope for my project. I like the idea of making a video or taking transition shots of the objects moving around in the mirrored enclosed space. I took the shaker macroscope file and added a stripe raster design to give it some personality. I have not been able to print it yet but I like the way it looks on Illustrator.
In addition, I took apart one of the cameras we were given by following the helpful directions carefully. FINAL PROJECT E+D I
