Completed Model:

Fusion 360: Transition Place

Attempt 1: Failed

Reflection:

This exercise was quite tedious to do as I have to make sure everything interlocks with each other properly. Other than trying to make everything fit, the actual model making and working with Fusion 360 wasn't that hard as Russel's tutorials were easy to follow and I have had previous experience using this software in high school.

Making the Fusion Threshold Model

Because we did not have access to the laser cutting facilities at the university due to Covid 19, I printed out the print file and stuck them onto box board and cut them with a box cutter knife. This process was very tedious and annoying due to the little interlocks and the model didn’t end up working for me. Pictured below.

Problem encountered: Making the physical model did not work out as I assume some pieces on Fusion weren't made carefully enough.

Solution: Making a new Fusion model similar to this one but made with better care and precision.
