exam blog post

for the final exam, I chose to design a toy based on an item from Fortnite called a port-a-fort. in the game, you throw it on the ground and it creates a big tower you can go inside.

The tower that the port a fort makes

one of the big challenges with it was that I was using tinkercad, which is pretty limited on what you can do on it. I had to keep importing it to Ultimaker to make the holes actually show up, and then I put it back into tinkercad to continue working. another big challenge was the screws. i tried to find a screw object on tinkercad, but there wasn’t any. I looked up on google “screw 3d model” and after a while of searching, I finally found one.

The final product

I think I have gotten a lot better at designing on tinkercad. I still need to learn how to use Autodesk fusion. I tried a couple of different times to use it, but I just couldn’t really figure it out. especially for what I was making.
