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

• 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
