# Lesson notes # 3D modelling ## tips * sketch what you wanna make * When drawing what is your organic shape gonna be (cube, cylinder) * how big * what parts are gonna be in your project ## good practices * Work with real measurements (real units) * Start with simple shapes * Divide your model into sections (different components) * Use groups and name your parts * ctrl+s * iterate and review * document ## other things * Try making something simple in 3 different cad programs. * plan the final project in the first weeks # Electricity ## ![alt text](../assets/electricityTriangle.png) * V = Voltage * I = Ampere * R = Resistance ### Videos and electronics (also applies to programming) * Work along videos as you're watching them. ## AI notice for electronics ask chat gpt to explain things as if you're 12 then 18 then as a electrical engineer. tldr: ramp up how complicated the explanation is. # Final project do's and dont's ## Do's * 2D and 3D drawings * Try hiding the electronic parts * Document everything * Inside the video: conception construction and operation. * use purposeful holes. * research design, shape, material and durability * Make the project more personal ## Dont's * lasercut press fit box * loose wires * no breadboard * No glue gun # Extra notes * keep on practicing its a full time job * don't strive for perfection *
