Class Blog

I was most excited to start working with OpenSCAD since I’m a senior Computer Science major. However the biggest part of this class I’ve struggled with is a lack of creativity. I wanted to attempt to make something useful […]

For my project I wanted to create something functioning, and what better way to do that than to combine it with the project we just finished? With this in mind, I set out to design a simple ring holder. I originally wanted three […]

The first time I have ever tried writing code was with OpenSCAD. In high school, a lot of friends took coding classes and were able to create incredible pathways for robotic cars, and computers. I did not know there […]

For this project we used OpenScad and to be honest I found it to be the most confusing out of all the assignments we have done. I have no coding experience, so trying to figure everything out was pretty difficult. Nevertheless, I […]

For OpenSCAD I found very quickly that I suck at it. I am definitely not a coder! In frustration with all the little details I decided to focus and make small things and then increasing their difficulty. I started with a cone and […]

I began this project and was very excited to experiment with the complexity and accuracy which OpenSCAD provided for 3D printing. I decided to create a snowman for my first design. I began by creating 3 separate spheres to […]

Introduction As Christmas and Hannukah near (which I will now refer to as Christmakkah), I decided what better way to celebrate the holidays than making some little nerdy gifts that my partner in crime T.J. would enjoy. That naturally began with his love of cookies […]

I just about had a heart attack when I heard we would be coding. I come from a family of computer engineers and seem to be the only one who didn’t inherit the coding gene, so I was sure that this was going to go poorly. However […]

So, first and foremost, I have tried using code before and this only reiterated by original consensus that code is not my strong suit. With this in mind however, I definitely wanted to make something simple yet absolutely crazy. […]

After starting this project, I quickly realized that it was not going to be easy. I struggled for many hours trying to figure out how to write code using the material and instructions provided for us and could not figure it out. […]

When working on this project, I quickly realized that I was not going to be successful at coding. The initial design that I made with code was simply a sphere inside of a cube. I wanted to make it more complicated, but could […]

When I first started with OpenScad, I struggled to understand the language. I downloaded the software to my laptop and tried to see what I could do with the limited knowledge I had accrued during class. It was a […]

At the beginning of this project I spent a lot of time thinking about the shape that I should made, that was because I wanted to end up the course in a positive way and making a great model would be the perfect way to […]

So for this openScad project I had a real hard time coming up with any ideas for it because the program didn’t make a lot of sense to me, it just didn’t do things in the order I wanted or in a way that I thought it should have. […]

When I was first starting to work with OpenScad, it seemed to be nothing but a slippery slope leading towards nothing but failure for me. I began by downloading the OpenScad software onto my laptop so that I could play around […]

Not going to lie. I hate openScad with a passion. However, though my grievances, I learned a lot and hoping I can share the “joys” of my journey with you all. I opened […]

Working with OpenSCAD was really fun and interesting! I didn’t have a chance to code before but it was an amazing experience and I hope I can code something else in the future. I am not going to say it was easy to figure out […]

This OpenSCAD project gave me my first opportunity to code. I enjoyed the experience and it allowed me to test myself. For the project, I came up with the idea to make a diamond. I know this will challenge me because I will […]

Hey! So I designed something that I personally find cool and semi-useful or functional. I like making things that I know I can use. I coded something simple to begin with […]

Working with OpenSCAD was really fun! During the fact that I’m planning on declaring a CIS minor, where you also have to write codes, I could already practice my skills for later on! To be honest, it did not take me that long to figure […]

I got very excited when I head we were going to do some programming in thins class. As a CIS minor, I had to take a programming class using Python, and I absolutely loved the class. To me programming is a challenge that I embrace […]

This project was definitely the most daunting of everything we’ve done so far in this class. When I was told that I was going to have to write a code and and 3D print something using that code, I was unsure of what to think […]
