This week was used to finish the design for the 3D print model in solidworks. The final hurdles to make it over was hollowing out the inside and enlarge the model. The hollowing out was trial and error to see how the cost could be reduced for our print. In order to enlarge the model we ended up printing three different pieces that would be put together when the print was done.
The assembly of the freedom tower is shown above. The assembly consisted of simple mates on the bottom of each piece. The finals dimensions are as follows: 1.5in by 1.5in base, 1in by 1in top face and a total height of 11in. The model is hollowed out to save on the cost of building materials.
