Pacha Group Evaluation

Pacha Shin Guard Evaluation After seeing the finishing product of our creation we came to a conclusion that it wasn't what we expected to be. We thought that the shin guard would be a simple creation. But we found that the shin guards were uncomfortable if being used and also hard to shape to the leg of a person. We decided at the end of the evaluation that we are changing our product idea to a phone case. Rubric Criteria Does not meet (0 Points) Meets (1 Point) Exceeds (2 Points) Practical Use You can not use it for anything. Can use practically, but it is limited. Very practical, and can be used in daily life. Efficiency Does not work the way the group wants it to. Can work but not very well. Works all the time for what is it suppose to do. Appearance Has no visual appeal. Has some visual appeal to it. Has a lot of visual appeal, and feels good in your hand. Complexity Very simple, only one part Somewhat complex with multiple par

TinkerCAD Explorations

When you compare the actual cube, to the cube design on TinkerCAD, the one on TinkerCAD has smaller dimensions. The actual cube is one inch on each side, and the cube on TinkerCAD is only half of an inch on each side. When you take apart, and ungroup the cube on TinkerCAD, it is made with one solid cube, and a rectangular hole is put through the middle of it. Also, there is a sphere in the middle of the cube. Shin Guard Design  This shin guard was created by taking a solid piece and using different types of holes in it so it creates a curve in it. This will allow it to wrap around your leg to fit comfortably. The shin guard is not to complicated. Limitations How thin the structure can be Has to fit on the printer How close two objects can be to each other How small you can print something Takes time to print things How intricate it can be   Can not make anything electronic If you make support too far apart, then the object will sag in the middle

Redesign

For our new design for the shin guard, we thought it would be practical to make the object thinner than it was before. Our first model was much too bulky, and it does not need to be that large in order to protect your shin. It would be much more efficient if it was thinner and lighter than it was before. Another thing we did to the design was add padding to the back of it, or a place to put padding so it will be more comfortable on your leg. This is our shin guard design using geometric shapes. It is made up one large triangle, and 2 smaller triangles on the side. On top of the triangles is a trapezoid. We thought this was the most practical way to do it. Of course, all of these shapes will have to be a little curved in order to fit, and wrap around your leg.
